small hack required

[sbryan]

if you go to http://www.xboxworld.com.au/index.php

up the top right hand side, i want to put a small line of text in there that lists the amount of users online in the forum. ill make the graphic a bg image and put the text over the top..

nothing too detailed, just something that reads like

'40 users online, register now!' with 40 pulled from the 'Currently Active Users: 41' figure thats on the forum. ill just make 'register now' a link to the signup form.

is it possible to use that data from the forum in the include that i use in the main site?

try putting this somewhere in your forumhome template:

$totalonline Users Online, <a href="register.php?s=&amp;action=signup">Register Now!</a>

how do i get that 'whos online' figure into my main site though?

[DigitalDesktops]
