Announcing Forum Runner - vBulletin Android/iPhone/iPad App

[ClemsonJeeper]

Introducing Forum Runner for the iPhone/iPad/Android vBulletin!

Forum Runner now supports ANDROID Devices!!!

Forum Runner now supports vBulletin 4.0/4.1 CMS!!

http://www.forumrunner.com

What is Forum Runner?

Forum Runner is a vBulletin mod that allows your users to browse your forum using a native Android/iPhone/iPad client. This means faster access for those users since it only downloads the actual forum information rather than all the extraneous images that slow down the mobile connection.

Forum Runner now supports the iPad natively! Download the Forum Runner app once and support both iPhone and iPad versions in one universal app!

iOS 4 multitasking on the iPhone is fully supported by Forum Runner.

Forum Runner is FREE for forum owners to install, and takes less than 5 minutes. The client for the iPhone/iPad/Android costs 1.99$ which is LESS THAN THE COMPETITORS, and has more features. Please see the list below for full information on Forum Runner's features.

Forum Runner inherits all the security built into vBulletin, so users running Forum Runner will only be able to see the same forums and threads as they could using a regular browser.

How do I get the Forum Runner vBulletin Add-On?

You can download the latest version from vBulletin.org below. However if you download this version, you still need to register your forum on our directory list so it shows up in the iPhone/Android client. Please note that if you download the addon from vBulletin.org, you will need to download the unique sitekey.php file from http://www.forumrunner.com after you register your forum.

To register your forum, simply head over to http://www.forumrunner.com/?p=register. Full instructions to register your forum in the Forum Runner database are there. Once you register your forum, you can download the sitekey there. Simply place this file in the "forumrunner" directory that is created when you unarchive the add-on.

Also, there is a support forum located at: http://www.forumrunner.com/forum (http://www.forumrunner.com/support) Please post up your ideas or any issues you have with the App there.

How can I get the Forum Runner iPhone Client?

YGPM.

[ssslippy]

Just a note files must be uploaded here. Looks exciting though.

Hmm. Without boring you with the grueling details, when you register your forum on the website and download the package, there is a unique key generated per forum (for Push notification) that is included in the bundle.

So that presents a problem about posting a "one download" for all tarball.

Is this against vBulletin.org ToS or anything?

[Paul M]

Is this against vBulletin.org ToS or anything?
Yes, Im afraid it is.

[trackpads]

This is a great tool and will increase usage on my site. Do you plan on extending this to Photopost galleries or the VbGallery? I would love for my users to upload photos from an iphone.

Thanks!

[ps2wiz]

Any chance to extending support for Android devices?

[Richard Evans]

When using the I-Phone client after I enabled my site, I notice I can see photos that I posted in the forums, but I only see the attachment numbers for the photos (no image) others have posted.
Is that a bug, or something I need to correct on my site?

[ClemsonJeeper]

Yup. That is currently in development as well!

Which forum is yours? I can take a look and see what the issue is.

I fully expect a few kinks that need to be ironed out since everyone's forums are configured differently!

We'll get it fixed for you.

[ClemsonJeeper]

It looks like there was an issue with SEO urls and the forum tab. If you see this on your forum, grab the latest version and it should be fixed.

[ClemsonJeeper]

Yes, Im afraid it is.

OK. I'll put together a version that can be uploaded here as an attachment. It will probably take a few days.

[ClemsonJeeper]

Uploaded a vBulletin.org version. You still will need to download the unique sitekey during registration and put it in the "forumrunner" subdirectory.

[ClemsonJeeper]

Darwin's law has kicked in. What an amazing time to have a hard drive fail in the main server.

It is being rebuilt right now, but it will be off of a backup from 3:00AM this morning. If you registered your forum after then, you will need to reregister when it comes back up. I'll post up in here when the server is back online (should be 20 minutes or so).

[ClemsonJeeper]

Back up and running. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[sean-zigster]

Hi I have done all the above but get this erro

Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: fr_redirect in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 3932

[arcadian_girl]

Just installed it, and honestly, I'm really impressed. Forums load super-fast - much faster than with That Other App. Also - my attachments show up! :)

One thing you guys really gotta do is make a favorites tab though, so I can save forums I go to regularly. Having to search for my forum everytime I open up the app is a bit of a pain. Other than that tho, I am really, really liking this.

Already have this! Unfortunately it's kind if buried in the user interface. The next update makes it more obvious how to add favorites.

To add a favorite:

Log into your forum, select the "Profile" tab (you miht have to select "More" tab then "Profile". Touch the heart in the upper right corner. Once it is highlighted it will show up on the home page, and also be polled for push notifications!

[ClemsonJeeper]

Hi I have done all the above but get this erro

Try grabbing the file again and doing a fresh reinstall (In product manager, "Uninstall" Forum Runner" and then install the new product-forumrunner.xml file.

Should be OK now.

[ClemsonJeeper]

Oh and if you guys and gals like the app, please mark as Installed and leave a positive review in the app store. It helps out. :-)

Yep that fixed it thanks !

[sean-zigster]

the only problem i get now is when i go to browse on my iphone this message comes up

The remote server sent a unparsable result.

[ClemsonJeeper]

Taking to PMS! Check your PM. :)

[sean-zigster]

replied thanks !

[sean-zigster]

all fixed Thanks !

[ClemsonJeeper]

No problem! If anyone has any problems let me know. We'll get it up and running for you!

[vbreal]

it looks like a modified version of tapatalk.

why is every thing so similar?

push and search is good.

[Big-Pete]

Installed, Verified and published but i still keep getting permission denied when i click on my forum in forumrunner app in current, when i click forums its ok though..

I also keep getting a parse error message that says i could be using an out of date plugin, which is strange as i only downloaded it last night from your site..

[ClemsonJeeper]

Pete, check your PMs.

[ClemsonJeeper]

FYI If you are seeing the "Permission denied" under "Current" tab, that is probably caused by you not allowing unregistered users to "search" on your forum. If that is the case, you need to log in to see the current threads.

Pick up the latest version and install it - the ATTACH tag has been fixed. Let me know if it works out for you.

I believe I misinterpreted the problem. What seems to be happening is that images that were added as "inline" are not showing up, but images that were attached are. when using Formrunner

[trackpads]

Nice + installed and running now!

The iphone app needs a simpler method of adding a forum to your favorites, that was really hard to find!

Thanks again for the work,

-Jason

[ClemsonJeeper]

The next version iPhone client will have a simpler way to add favorites!

Also, anyone who is using VBSEO should pick up the latest version of the add-on - it fixes a couple issues with VBSEO conflicting with Forum Runner!

[trackpads]

Thanks!

Saw one more thing for the next version, the WOL location is not specified:

Unknown Location /forum/forumrunner/request.php

Also, please consider PP/VBG Gallery support, my site uses a huge one and It would be awesome.

Thanks again,

-Jason

[ClemsonJeeper]

What version PP/VBG do you run?

[trackpads]

The latest PP, the newest VBG is the new Beta for Vb4, I have it installed but not open yet.

[ClemsonJeeper]

Excellent. I will look into adding support for this.

[ClemsonJeeper]

We have just released v1.3.0 of the add-on which adds support for:

* Add support for Google AdSense links (see http://www.forumrunner.net/forum/showthread.php?t=29 for installation instructions)
* Add support for Sphinx plugin searching (see http://www.forumrunner.net/forum/showthread.php?t=32 for installation instructions)

[trackpads]

updated! Thanks!

Hi,

Just a word of caution of implementing Google Adsense for Mobile Content on an actual iPhone app - The Google license agreement stated that the usage of Adsense for Mobile Content should be limited to mobile web-site, not mobile application. There is a risk of Google banning your entire Adsense account if they found you are violating the agreement, although we haven't heard of any incident of it.

We strongly advise all the forum owners to evaluate this risk before attempting to inserting Adsense for Mobile Content Advertisement into any iPhone or Android native application.

Here you can find the Google Adsense for Mobile Content license agreement:
https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=71600

And more discussion related to this topic:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/AdSense/thread?tid=1b076c847baa6821&hl=en

This is the exact reason that at Tapatalk we have not yet ready of inserting this kind of banner into the app until we received more clarification from Google.

Good looking out (except for the product plug ;) ), it looks like a grey area right now. Forum Runner adheres to all of the:

* Only one AdSense for mobile ad unit may be displayed per mobile webpage.
* A "double" ad unit can only be placed on the bottom of the page, but may appear above the page's footer (e.g. navigational links, copyright messages, etc.).
* Google ads displayed on a publisher's mobile-compliant webpage may not be modified or obscured in any way.
* After a user click, display of the advertiser's landing page may not be interrupted or prevented in any way. For instance, publishers may not display their own interstitial pages before taking users to the advertiser's website.

Since the actual forum webpages that are indexed are HTML, and since the AdSense code is hosted from the forum's website, the crawler has no problem indexing and categorizing the website.

I will attempt to get more clarification from Google on this, but nowhere in the terms do I see "cannot be in an application".

[ClemsonJeeper]

New feature! Push notification time periods! Now, you can modify your push notification account to only send you notices during a specified period. So, if you don't care about getting notifications at 3AM that someone has sent you a PM, you can now specify when you want push notifications sent to you during the day.

To configure this, log in with your push notification credentials at http://www.forumrunner.net/?p=push and modify the settings.

[hilaryl]

Just wanting to clarify how this works...

We have our forum running on mobiles with a specifically designed mobile skin that allows us to place ad units and things like google analytics in the header and footer templates (that we can customise).

Can we do this with the forumrunner app?

[hilaryl]

More questions...

Our viewers are asking for the following features - are these available on forum runner:


view signatures & tickers
use/view smilies
see view post count
delete pms

thx

* Signatures - we can add support for that. Look for it in the next version.
* Tickers - What is a ticker? :)
* Smilies - We have a small technical hurdle to overcome but are almost there.
* Post count - On the threads, or in the profile?
* Delete PMs - You can do that now. Swipe to delete (or hit Edit and tap Delete)

Not currently, but if you send me a PM with how you would want this to work - we could add it in a future revision for you. It might be useful to other forum owners as well.

[hilaryl]

These are tickers: http://www.tickerfactory.com/ezticker/ticker_designer.php - count down graphics
Post count - on a post, in the top right hand corner you get the poster's location and post count displayed (on a standard vBulletin installation)


Will send you a PM about the customisations for header and footer

Hi,

Yes it is a grey area but we can't put innocent forum owners who are not aware of this risk and empower them to do it without knowing it can be potentially troublesome. The issue here is you are making a fake webpage with the some thread content inside with the web-based banner within your app. Google site made it clear that it has to be a "mobile site".

The issue here is Google regularly shut-down accounts that violate their agreement and has robot in place to check it. It can close the forum owners who are using this feature for no reason and there is no way for them to dispute it. A lot of forum owners are living on Google Adsense and a account shut-down can really take down their entire website with zero revenue stream.

Please think twice before you push out this feature. It's fine it is your own app and your own adsense account but not wise to step into Google grey area at the cost of other forum owner.

[ClemsonJeeper]

Google site made it clear that it has to be a "mobile site".


And google also defines a "mobile site" as being:

Mobile Webpage Markup Languages:

* wml (WAP 1.x.)
* xhtml (WAP 2.0)
* chtml (imode, etc.)
* html (high-end ad units only)

Which is exactly what the remote forum is based on. Like I said, I have contacted google and am awaiting a response. We do not wish to violate any of Google's ToS with Adsense. If it turns out that Google responds back with a negative answer, then the feature will be removed in leiu of another revenue generating method (embedded banners perhaps?)

Thanks again for the response. We appreciate all feedback here at Forum Runner.

[ClemsonJeeper]

Version 1.3.1 of the add-on has been released:

* Fix issue with international forums with PHP that does not have the mbstring module
* Add support for AME (Auto Media Encoder) tags
* Fix issue with certain forums not being able to verify

[Adam H]

Im getting a parse error on my iphone for one of my forums, the rest it works ok on . Am i right in saying that while the forum is in Closed status it wont work ? the forum is reopening on sunday but i just wanted to check that is all the problem is

[ClemsonJeeper]

1.3.2 released, maintenance update including:

1.3.2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Fix some push notification issues
* Fix some searching issues

[ClemsonJeeper]

Yes, this is correct. There is no real way to get around the forum being Closed because vBulletin intercepts this before any of our code is executed.

I'd recommend taking advantage of the "Publish Forum as Private" feature of the Forum Manager. It will keep your forum off "New Arrivals" and "Popular" until you are ready to come out of closed status.

[ClemsonJeeper]

I forgot to post this up here, if you are using push notifications, you can now configure what push notifications you want to receive (private message, subscription) as well as configure what time during the day you want these notifications sent to you.

So if you don't want to be notified at 3AM that someone posted in a thread you are subscribed to, you can now specify which hours you want notifications sent to you!

You can do this by logging into the Push Notification manager at:

http://www.forumrunner.net/?p=push

and look at the bottom of the page. The settings are there.

[ClemsonJeeper]

1.3.3 has been released:

* Fix issues with "Cyb - Advanced Permissions Based on Post Count" add-on and posting new threads/replies/private messages
* Fix issue with thumbnail display when gd/gd2 is not installed, but imagemagick is
* Fix issue with forums with threads that haven't been updated in a while not showing up
* Fix issue with polling for updates from Home Page updating your last login time
* Add support for different configurable Google AdSense locations

[ClemsonJeeper]

iPhone App Version 1.1.4 has been submitted to Apple with the following changes:

* Add support for making subforums Favorite - to use, simply drill down to the subforum you wish to make a favorite, hit the "Action" button in the upper right corner, and choose "Add to Favorites"
* Added "Help" tab for online help - this will be updated as questions come in.
* Fix various UI Issues
* Add setting "Show Thread Preview" which will allow you to disable thread previews and display more threads per page
* Fix issue with people who declined push notifications just getting a black screen on launch

[Alfa1]

So if say 10.000 of my users get this iPhone app, you will earn $1.900.00
How much will you pay to my board? Can any % flow back to the site and be used to support the site?

Or you could pay the $249 branding option per year which pays for the work that goes into the app. It gives your community better accessibility also so your community is benefiting from potentially more usage . I think that is payment enough ;)

You can see their branding option here : http://www.forumrunner.net/?p=branding

That's a fair option! Is there an option for forum owners to make money on a branded app?

Thanks.

[Adam H]

Thanks.

Im not sure to be honest , best to ask ClemsonJeeper, although that would be an extremely good way to compensate for the yearly costs involved.

[ClemsonJeeper]

Currently, we have Google AdSense support which is a way that forum owners can generate revenue through the app using existing measures.

The branded app is a way for forum owners who don't want their users to have to pay 1.99$ to access their forum (along with all the other Forum Runner forums) to be able to have a custom free app for their users dedicated to their forum.

If you want to charge for your dedicated app, that is your choice, and we can discuss some sort of revenue sharing if you like - you would be the first forum to want a dedicated app that charges their users.

Shoot me a private message if you want to discuss this further!

Thanks for showing an interest in Forum Runner!

[Lynk]

Clemson, I just installed the app support on my site. The $2 for the app seemed like a reasonable fee, so I didn't even bother with installing the freebie on my phone. Gotta say that you've got a great start!

I posted a couple of comments on your own support forums. Please bring Social Group support. Everything else seems to be covered.

BTW, how much is the push service?

[ClemsonJeeper]

Version 1.3.5 has been released:

* Fix a few more issues with Arabic forums
* Fix image thumbnail generation issues on forums without libgd/libgd2 installed

[ClemsonJeeper]

[SomeSailor]

Any plans for an iPad native app?

[ClemsonJeeper]

Version 1.3.6 has been released with the following fixes/enhancements:

* Fix a few more issues with internationalization
* Add support for in-app forum/thread linking (does not punt you to the internal browser when a user links a forum/thread in your forum)
* Fix issue with forum owners who link to another forum on their site using "Forum Manager->Forum Link"
* Fix issue with editing a post removes your thread subscription
* Fix issue with "Subscribed" badge showing incorrect values with forums not using databsae threadmarking

[ClemsonJeeper]

Version 1.3.7 has been released with the following fixes:

* Fix issue with replying to threads sometimes unsubscribing you from the thread
* Fix issue with push notification badge being incorrect in certain situations
* Add some fields for iPad support

[ClemsonJeeper]

The latest version of the client also supports the iPad natively!

[ClemsonJeeper]

Version 1.3.8 has been released which contains the fix:

* Fix issue with URLs posted via Forum Runner not being parsed/clickable

[ClemsonJeeper]

Just a FYI, we've decided not to charge for push notifications - ever.

So when you create a push notification account, ignore the expiration date. A future revision of the app will remove this altogether. :-)

[ClemsonJeeper]

Forum Runner client v1.2.1 was released yesterday with full iOS 4 multitasking support as well as multiquote support!

[ClemsonJeeper]

Version 1.3.9 of the add-on has been released with the following changes:

* Fix issue with some push notifications not being sent out for thread subscriptions
* Fix issue with ignored users showing up in Forum Runner threads
* Fix conflict with Cyb - Forum Rules add-on
* Add support for various moderation tasks through Forum Runner (open/close thread, move thread, delete posts, stick/unstick thread) for your moderators
* Add support for viewing and voting on polls through Forum Runner

[combs]

Just installed and dled the app. Anyway you can display the "What's New" button somewhere? So I can just view recent posts/threads instead of having to go through all the forums? or does that already exist and i'm missing it?

[PJSkiboy]

I'm asking for the world here, I know this, but I must ask...

Is there any way to get a shoutbox to display or any way to mod the shoutbox to put the messages into like a seperate forum so that the shoutbox content can be viewed on the phone app?

[bydosangel]

It works LIKE a charm with Arabic.
best Regards

[ClemsonJeeper]

Sorry about the lack of response, been real busy with new features!

There is "Current" which displays the last few days worth of posts.

For shoutbox support, go ahead and head over to http://www.forumrunner.net/forum and make the request in our request section!

Hi,

Just a word of caution of implementing Google Adsense for Mobile Content on an actual iPhone app - The Google license agreement stated that the usage of Adsense for Mobile Content should be limited to mobile web-site, not mobile application. There is a risk of Google banning your entire Adsense account if they found you are violating the agreement, although we haven't heard of any incident of it.

We strongly advise all the forum owners to evaluate this risk before attempting to inserting Adsense for Mobile Content Advertisement into any iPhone or Android native application.

Here you can find the Google Adsense for Mobile Content license agreement:
https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=71600

And more discussion related to this topic:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/AdSense/thread?tid=1b076c847baa6821&hl=en



Hello everyone and to the MOD author, I just want to bring this to your attention again that Google has already clarified this "grey" area and explicitly stated against retrofitting AdSense Mobile Content (web) into mobile application. Please refer to this link:

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/AdSense/thread?tid=7cc66893d1b7cf1c&hl=en

In fact it appears that the person who bought up this issue to Google and seek for clarification is actually the author of this MOD.

I am bringing this to your attention since it has been two and a half months since Google said NO to your request as an violation of Adsense agreement, but we haven't seen any communication to your end to remind forum owners to remove the Adsense code?

Hat's off to the developer! Our users love the Branded iOS version and are looking forward to the Android release.

@yellowpeter, if you have an issue with this mod, why not contact the developer directly? I find your multiple rants distasteful, especially when you feature links to your competing product.

I had privately contacted a google representative who works in the AdSense area, who actually works with one of the largest AdSense revenue forums on the internet, and they said it was fine.

Either way, I have to agree with the others that have posted up. It is obvious that you are simply trying to instigate doubt and promote your competitive app in the meantime.

Anyone else experiencing problem with Forum Runner's "News" function?

I'm getting complaints from iPhone and iPad users that the "News" function which is equivalent to our vBCMS articles, doesn't work properly. They're saying that when they click the icon on the top right corner of the display, it opens up and says select "Section", but there's no sections displayed to select? We have over 20 sections with articles in each...

Do you have any odd redirects on your site? Wherever you upload the forumrunner add-on to (your root forum directory), you need to be able to directly access http://<root-forum>/forumrunner/request.php

without being redirected. Which doesn't look like thats the case on your site.

I uninsulated the xml file and manually removed the files from my root forum directory and the site returned again. Has anyone experienced this? I would love to install again but not so sure now?
thanks

[ClemsonJeeper]

Very odd. That is the first we've had any report with that. What version vBulletin are you using and any other add-ons?

[andycaps]

4.1.5 but not much in the way of add ons - I am not entirely convinced I installed it correctly so I think I will need to make a new back up and try and reinstall again..

One thing I don't understand is if the Forum Runner operates like a proper app, why would you want to create a mobile version of the forum using vb Mobile and pay the annual fee.

Or am I missing something?

Try going through the install process step by step again and see if you have the issue. If so, there is likely an add-on conflict. I will test with 4.1.5 again but am quite sure it is working fine.

I'm not sure what you mean by the other question. Forum Runner came over a year ahead of vBulletin's official mobile offering. It allows you to install the free add-on and offload the cost of the app to your users (1.99). vBulletin's offering allows you to pay them to build you an app that you can list on your own iOS developer account to allow your users to have it for free.

We also provide the same branding service as well.

[Prisoner]

I have a user who uses Forum Runner on an Iphone and doesn't show up in the Who's Online list. Has anyone else noticed this?

[ClemsonJeeper]

Hmm. Odd. FR goes through the normal vB login code, so he should show up. I'll look at it to make sure something isn't missing.

[Prisoner]

It was on my end. It was conflicting with the Member Tracking mod. I changed the settings and she was showing up again.

Sorry for the confusion.

[ClemsonJeeper]

Glad you were able to get it working!

[Prisoner]

It's still an intermittent problem. I completely removed the Member Tracking mod and it still happens.

Nope, you do not need to remove them. This works independently of them. You can leave them so if your users choose to still just use a mobile skin, they can. It is your choice.

You need to set the forum URL in the Forum Manager to your BASE forum URL (normally this does not include "forum.php" or anything).

If you forum is http://www.yoursite.com/forum

that's what you enter into the Forum Manager.

If you have funky rewrite rules going on, all we basically need is the URL to the forum directory that the 'forumrunner' directory is off of.

[DaffyDuck]

How is it possible to save multiple "favorites" of the same forum, with different login credentials? Tapatallk does this, and it is very convenient to keep regular user and moderator (for example) as separate identities. I have not figured out if Forum Runner does this.

[ClemsonJeeper]

We do not support multiple logins. You will need to log out and log back in again.

Pretty sure you can have both running at the same time, someone asked the same question over at vbulletin.com when they announced its integration with 4.1.12

[princesspepper]

I only have one issue with these additions. If a company such as forumrunner, or tapatalk want us to install their software on our forums, which will then enable them to make cash selling the app in the itunes store, or wherever, that's fine... but I think you should give forum owners a code to get the app for free.

I feel a little ripped off when I have to pay for an app to get full access to my own forum... just my opinion as a prospective user. This is the only reason I am reluctant to try it out, as I have already installed and paid for tapatalk on my forum, so why should I shell out more money for something similar? Where's the incentive for me to promote your product on my forum instead?

Anyone know about my avatar situation? Custom avatars will not show up on my site for Moderators or above since I installed this. Even after uninstalling, they will not show.

Question... I have VB 4.1.12pl1 which now incorporated FR. What version comes with VB/how do you see what version it is? How do I upgrade to the latest/this newley released version? Is there any notification for forum owners to know there is an update?

[ClemsonJeeper]

If you are using the latest vBulletin, (4.1.12+), then when you upgrade the forum software, you will get the forum runner updates.

However, since the release cycles don't sync up, there may be a lag between the two.

If you want to force upgrade Forum Runner to the latest version and you are on 4.1.12+, log into the Forum Manager at forumrunner.com, choose 4.1.1-4.1.11 and download the add-on and fully install it (overwrite the forumrunner directory). This should work fine since they are basically the same code base. This may change in the future, but for now, it should work. Just be sure to do the full install (import the XML file, etc).

Here are a couple additions for the product..

What this does is fixes the WHO'S ONLINE PAGE so that it whill show that a user is using Forum Runner and give them a link to the developer website so they can get the app!

Also note, I did not phrase this as you need to add phrases to the product to do it but below is info on doing that if you wish. This requires two new plugins as follow:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

ADMINCP >> PLUGIN & PRODUCTS >> ADD NEW PLUGIN

Product - Forum Runner
Hook Location - online_location_process
Title - Forum Runner - WOL Online Location
Execution Order - 5

Plugin PHP Code
if($filename=='/forumrunner/request.php'){
$userinfo['activity'] = 'Forum Runner';
}

Plugin Active - YES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADMINCP >> PLUGIN & PRODUCTS >> ADD NEW PLUGIN

Product - Forum Runner
Hook Location - online_location_unknown
Title - Forum Runner - WOL Online Location Unknown
Execution Order - 5

Plugin PHP Code
if($userinfo['activity']=='Forum Runner')
{
$userinfo['where'] = '<a href="http://www.forumrunner.net/">Forum Runner</a>';
$userinfo['action'] = 'Forum Runner';
$handled = true;
}

Plugin Active - YES

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, if these were phrased the code above could have been like this...

if($userinfo['activity']=='Forum Runner')
{
$userinfo['where'] = '<a href="http://www.forumrunner.net/">'.$vbphrase[fr_forumrunner].'</a>';
$userinfo['action'] = ''.$vbphrase[fr_forumrunner].'';
$handled = true;
}

Perhaps these two plugins and phrase can be added (Add phrase as Who's Online Phrase) ;)
