[Request] Add more guests to the forum

[Fred]

I have the 'Users Online' on my board, but I want to make it so that where it says says the number of guests, I want to add another 20 "Guests". Even though there is maybe 10, it will say 30.

Do you understand what I'm saying? If so, is it possible to do so? Like in the $usersonline template, maybe have it say +20 ? No idea how to do it.

[JamesUS]

In index.php, change:

$numberguest=$loggedins['sessions'];


to

$numberguest=$loggedins['sessions'] + 20;


Untested but hopefully it will work :)

[conan]

That should work, but I wouldn't recommend you doing that though.
Reason is that people will tell since there will always be 20 guests online :)

The way I would do is by multiplying the number of current guests, for example:


$numberguest=$loggedins['sessions'] * 3;


So then it will vary a lot more, and people won't be able to tell!

I'm still running 1.1.4 - is it the same code? Cause I cant seem to find it.

[Fred]

That code destroyed my index. Whats going on? I put it back to normal, without youre edit, and it's still messed.

I get this error:

Parse error: parse error in /home/truthugs/forum/index.php3 on line 1

I found out. The code you guys told me was vBulletin 2.0.

I was running 1.1.4 still (Want to upgrade once the final is released), so here's what I had to edit:


$numberguest=0;


And I changed it to:


$numberguest=10;



Thanks guys.

Cool!
How can we expand the number of posts listed on the front page also?

Version 2.0

[Fred]

In index.php, find:


$countposts=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(postid) AS posts FROM post");
$totalposts=$countposts[posts];
if ($totalposts=="") {
$totalposts=0;
}


And edit the "0" and put in any number than you want ADDED onto the post count.

Do the same for the Thread code which is directly under this code.

By the way, this is for vBulletin 1.x.x - I haven't got vBulletin 2.0 beta yet, but it's probably the same thing. Mayeb a couple different variables.

[Sarge]

I changed it, and it didn't effect my postcount at all

Weird

[tubedogg]

That would only work if you had 0 posts to begin with. (if totalposts=blank then make it = 0). Try this:
$countposts=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(postid) AS posts FROM post");
$totalposts=$countposts[posts];
$totalposts=$totalposts+XX;
Change XX to however many you want to add to the total.

[Lesane]

Whats the purpose of this?

Why adding more guests to your forum and cheat your members or guests by showing them fake guests? I dont see the point in it.

Why was my post deleted?:D

[JamesUS]

Because it was full of swearing and added no value to the thread.

[Alwayz 4 reel]

Cool, makes sense.
