Online thingy

[Snake~eyes]

Can anyone give me the code for that little online thingy right near your name to the left of the post that says who's online or offline..

thx

[eva2000]

that's a feature of vB and is in your postbit templates.. you need to enable show online in edit options for your admin panel

[Snake~eyes]

I feel dumb now.. LoL

I appreciate ya answerin my dumb question!

thx

[|DarkManX|]

hmmmmm.....i can't find this in the vBulletin option in admin cp.....

[|DarkManX|]

bump'n

[heretic]

it's not.

by default, it's on, and it's the V logo, as an image. you can edit the code to make it something different, but I don't see anything else referring to "online" or "offline" and I'm using 2.2.0

[|DarkManX|]

hmmm, well i like the glowing online and offline deal that they have here, just wondering how i could do that....

[Snake~eyes]

There's a special setting for the text so you could make it like that... I guess you have to edit what it looks like.. not really sure on that one.. lol

[|DarkManX|]

hmmmmmmmmm, well i really don't know how to do it, otherwise i would post it :)

[KuraFire]

replace the template "postbit_online" with this:

<table style="filter:glow(color=red)">Online</table>


and replace the template "postbit_offline" with this:

Offline



Now I'm just not sure on how to define the glow size, the color is no problem but the size, hmm...


EDIT: okay, here it is:

<table style="filter:glow(color=#C4C400, strength=2)">Online</table>


There, voil?. :)

[|DarkManX|]

oh yes!!!

thanks for this :)

[Snake~eyes]

yes.. thankyou.. i am going to install this on my forums.

You might wanna relocate $onlinestatus in your postbit template to a better place. :)

Good point:) I stuck it above "registered" like it's done here, good place for it.

[Snake~eyes]

yeah me too!

[LuBi]

I did it like that but when I logout to see if the offline works it still says online. Click below to see what I mean http://www.suprascene.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=1 this is a fresh install of 2.2 any help would be great.. :(

Well I installed this hack, and it always says I'm online. Basically I've cleared cookies logged out correctly... pretty much done everything I can. How can I fix this, or what might it be?

Also I have used another account on my forum and and now it says were both online all the time... I dunno what to do.

[Diva]

Hi. I Have the online/offline working... Except the color doesn't change. Any ideas? Thanks bunches!

[LuBi]

Well I got mine going but color change like what for online? Or do you mean online one color offline another?

[Diva]

When the member is online it glows. Here's the line of code to place in "postbit_online":

<table style="filter:glow(color=#C4C400, strength=2)">Online</table>

But the color stays the same.

[LuBi]

What do you mean stays the same? It's supposed to be one color. then when the user is offline it becomes plain text no glow saying Offline ....?

[Admin]

Diva, I'm afraid the glow effect doesn't work with Netscape.
Is that what you're using?

LuBi, are you sure you're logged out?
This is probably a cookie problem... *shrugs*

[Diva]

Hi, Firefly! Nope, I'm using Netscape 4.78. I noticed that the online in VB.org doesn't change colors either. I thought it did before. So there's no way to show a different color when online for IE?

[winston]

but.. it messes up my tables when someone is offline all the buttonsmove to the left side and the ip logged moves to the left as well.

[Admin]

Sorry, I meant to say it's not working with Netscape. It does work with IE.
But then my inner dyslectic side interrupted me. ;)

[Diva]

It's alright, I forgive you ;)

So, it's a nix on working with Netscape then? Not even using html?

Yea I had that also you can't just put

Offline

change it to

<table>Offline</table>
that will make it right.

And Firefly I fixed things, thanks I"m just impatient it takes longer to log someone off I guess...

[Snake~eyes]

If you want it to work on both IE and Netscape just make them into pictures..

but I cant find this "show online" in admin panel.

[Steve Machol]

It ain't that hard to find!

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options (or Change options in 2.0.3) -> Who's Online -> Enable Who's Online -> Yes -> Sve changes

Of course this assumes that you upgraded correctly and reverted the correct templates. Check the Announcements thread for your version on the vbulletin.com forums for more info.

[andrew67]

Well now I'm really stumped.. It shows up in my forum leaders page and If I put the same code (from admin_display template or something) in just under avatars in a post nothing happens... can anyone tell me wtf i'm doing wrong please????? My forum is located at: www.cdcopyworld.net if thats any help...

[EA Junkie]

Which postbit has registered, location, etc info? I want to move my $onlinestatus there.

[beemer]

It is in postbit, search for the word registered and put it just above it. Don't move the <td>, leave it where it was.
