Display 'X Usersin Chat' Button

[RPhillips]

Hi...

I am keen to have a button on the home page of my jomsocial community that shows how many people are in a particular (I only use one) chat room. If the User clicks the button, it pops open the chatroom in a separate Window.

This is probably beyond me, but before I try to contract someone to do this I thought I should check how hard this would be.. are there api calls to do this?

Many thanks

Not too bad if you're experienced. You just need to make an ajax call to the includes/json/receive/receive_chatroom_list.php file. This will retrieve all chat rooms with the following json variables:

id - chat room id
n - name
t - type (number: 1 public, 2 password, 3 admin)
c - count, number of users in the room

Chat rooms can be popped out using /arrowchat/public/chatroom/?id=CHATROOM ID

or

Chat rooms can be opened in the bar using: http://www.arrowchat.com/documentation/?p=chatroom
