Who's Online faker:
Who's Online faker shows viewers of the Who's online list user-pre-defined locations for pre-defined users. You can give your fantasy full scope for this locations.
No real location will be shown for the pre-defined user(s).
The Who's online list will no longer display e.g. that you're writing a PM, instead of that it will be displayed that you're phoning with Mr. G. W. Bush.
Whatever your real location is, no user can see your real location onto Who's online list.
Be creative.
This mod will surely be a pleasure for you.
Installation.
* Before you import the product, open file who_is_online_fake.txt in Notepad or any other text editor.
* Expand the containing text with your own ideas. Use a new line for every new text.
* When you have finished, upload who_is_online_fake.txt onto your webspace (root of your forum).
* The text file can be edited at every time. Even HTML code can be used.
Open file product_who_is_online_faker.xml and search for entry:
case 'PcFreak':
Change this to:
case 'your_username':
Save the file and import as product.
That's all.
Have fun with this small but usefull mod.
Be happy with reactions of your users ;)

I like to see this improved.
Maybe in the the next release you can use the array method.
$locations = array("What's your name?" => 1426, "count to 1000" => 3576);
The array key is the thread's title and the other is the thread ID.
With this you can create a link <a href="mysite.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1426">What's your name?</a>

You can use this for all the users you like.
Just create a new online_bit_complete plugin for every user. Plugins must have unique names.
The code is still the same:
// check to make sure VB_AREA is defined
if (defined('VB_AREA'))
{
$onlinefake = file ('who_is_online_fake.txt');
switch($userinfo['username'])
{
case 'USER_A':
srand ((float)microtime()*1000000);
shuffle ($onlinefake);
$userinfo['action'] = $onlinefake[0];
$userinfo['where'] = '';
break;
}
}
$onlinefake is the variable to the mentioned txt-file. You can also use different txt-files.

HAHAHAHAHAHA this is awesome. Would not use it myself due to I wouldnt know where people really are.....lol But I love the idea. Great work
HAHAHAHA I'm a loser it only apply's to ONE person.... Sorry
IS it possible to do this to affect all people, or a list of usernames for example? Like all staff or whatever?

Hahahah.. LOVE it! I've actually wanted this for a LONG time!! Thanks.. :D
Will there be an option for users to set this themselves (like mods and up) maybe as an option in their user CP stuff??
Thanks!! *clicks install*

Hi just a quick question do you just add this bit of code to the original file..??
I am going to install this for sure been waiting for some thing like this for ever..:D

Please refer to post #11:
Example for a second user:
ACP = Plugin Manager => Add plugin
* Product: Who is online Faker
* (Hook) = online_bit_complete
* Titel = e.g. Onlinefake user X
* Execution oder = 5
* PHP-Code for plugins =
// who_is_online_fake_xyz.txt is the .txt file
// that is used for this user
// USER_XYZ is the name of this user
if (defined('VB_AREA')) {
$onlinefake = file ('who_is_online_fake_xyz.txt');
switch($userinfo['username']) {
case 'USER_XYZ':
srand ((float)microtime()*1000000);
shuffle ($onlinefake);
$userinfo['action'] = $onlinefake[0];
$userinfo['where'] = '';
break;
}}
That can be done for as many users you want.
I love this little ditty! Great mod dude!
I'm having a ball with this thing.
Here's just a few of the nice little sayings I'm using at politicalforums.net.
Most of the words actually mean something too :)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Working on web site discomfubilator settings.
Fumbling within the database.
Working on web site transmortation whistletips.
Programming <YOURWEBSITE> grandeosisms.
Transmorgraphying radiodescenceisms within the web site.
Reprogramming <YOURWEBSITE> fuel injection systems.
Searching for all references to Bush cause he needs to pee.
Wondering why Clinton is not spelled with a K.
Wondering why Republicans and Democrats don't admit they're one and the same.
Transmorgraphying diallamous syntaxtickers within the Admin interface.
Discomboobulating SQL database against foreign transmissions from aliens.
Wondering why we still aren't flying our cars.
Working on a new system to circumvent historical anachronisms through plain english.
In the Admin interface wondering what the heck to do now.
Thinking in grandiloquent terms till going into an abderian fit.
Extending his dactylion digit to the world.
In the Admin Control Panel admiring <YOURWEBSITE>'s daedalian design.
Deciding whether to take his meds for decidophobia.
Contemplating using defenestrating techniques on his computer.
Wondering why demitoilet has nothing to do with using the commode.
Wondering if a Republican can get dextrophobia.
Rearranging the diplasiasmus to prevent rectalgia.
Contemplating resistentialism.
Contemplating which is worse - aichmorhabdophobia or alopeciaphobia.
Creating amphigorical anachronisms to ensure he stays an anonymuncle.
Contemplating why computer screens are anopisthographic.
His keyboard has started astereognosis in his psyche causing borborygmus through xertzing.
Realizing that "rhadamanthine judicial system" would be an oxymoron.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course you'll need to change the <YOURWEBSITE> parts with the name of your web site.
Enjoy!
If you want more let me know. I'll come up with something.

What vB version are you running? I can't reach your URL at the moment (server could not be found)
Please try to download and install the mod without any changes and check if there are any problems.
If there are no problems: You made a mistake whilst changing the xml, if there are still problems: Please report.
Thanks, already installed and functioning perfectly.

Cool mod - confused all my members hilariously when I first installed it with "borking database" and other imaginary functions ;)
Any way to have certain activities exempt from this? My ham-fisted attempts haven't worked. I'm trying an excluding loop along the lines of:
...
switch($userinfo['username'])
{
case 'pcFreak':
while ($filename != 'thispage.php')
{
srand ((float)microtime()*1000000);
shuffle ($onlinefake);
... etc...
but I'm not really experienced enough in vbulletin or php to get this working properly. This code just runs the plugin normally and ignores me being on thispage.php, so obviously I'm missing something, but I'm not sure how to fix it. Can anyone give me any pointers?
Thanks!

Great idea, I'll definitely give this a try. Are you aware of any problems/issues with vB 3.7?
Thanks!

10-22-2008, 01:34 PM
Thanks!
I have been working on a surprise and I didn't want the other Admins or Staff to see the location. So I modified the plugin to add an extra like to rewrite the $userinfo['location'] variable as follows.
Now, if the staff hover over the "?" they see that I am in 'Control Center Alpha' so nobody sees my surprise :D
// check to make sure VB_AREA is defined
if (defined('VB_AREA'))
{
$onlinefake = file ('who_is_online_fake.txt');
switch($userinfo['username'])
{
case 'Quarterbore':
srand ((float)microtime()*1000000);
shuffle ($onlinefake);
$userinfo['action'] = $onlinefake[0];
$userinfo['where'] = '';
$userinfo['location'] = 'Control Center Alpha';
break;
}
}

Installation.
Before you import the product, open file who_is_online_fake.txt in Notepad or any other text editor.
Expand the containing text with your own ideas. Use a new line for every new text.
When you have finished, upload who_is_online_fake.txt onto your webspace (root of your forum).
The text file can be edited at every time. Even HTML code can be used.

Dear all,
mod is working perfectly on 3.8.4.
But does anybody know how to set a usergroup instead of one single user, for example all moderators?
Also I have a username with the character "ü" and it doesn´t work for him. Any clues?
Thank you very much!
Anyone have an Update to VB 4.x?
New Joe

Yes, works fine:up:
You can use this for all the users you like.
Just create a new online_bit_complete plugin for every user. Plugins must have unique names.
The code is still the same:
// check to make sure VB_AREA is defined
if (defined('VB_AREA'))
{
$onlinefake = file ('who_is_online_fake.txt');
switch($userinfo['username'])
{
case 'USER_A':
srand ((float)microtime()*1000000);
shuffle ($onlinefake);
$userinfo['action'] = $onlinefake[0];
$userinfo['where'] = '';
break;
}
}
$onlinefake is the variable to the mentioned txt-file. You can also use different txt-files.
Or if you want the same users under the same product just add a few more "case 'your_username': " under the first one and you're set to go.
I love this product and my privacy is now concealed. <3
