Advice on online User's from non VB page

[atosoup]

Iv spent the last 2 days reading hundreds of threads kinda relating to this..

We had this feature working for the past few months no problem using the online_external.php hack up untill last night when we updated our VB from 3.0 to 3.5.3 and now it no longer works..

I have spent hours trying to call just the guests and members online to add to our mainpage from the vb whats going on to no avail..

Can anyone give any help or advise as to how I can create a simple guests and users online to be displayed in txt from the main nonvb page of our site ?

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/httpd/vhosts/atinofsquad.com/httpdocs/ffs.php on line 2

error..

I use vBExternal 1.6 for 3.5.4

to get it to work, I had to change

// make database connection
$db->connect(
$config['Database']['dbname'],
$config['MasterServer']['servername'],
$config['MasterServer']['username'],
$config['MasterServer']['password'],
$config['MasterServer']['usepconnect'],
$config['SlaveServer']['servername'],
$config['SlaveServer']['username'],
$config['SlaveServer']['password'],
$config['SlaveServer']['usepconnect'],
$config['Mysqli']['ini_file']
);


to
