Online status in profile?

[DaveG]

I'm trying to get the users's online status to show up in the user profile.

I edited the getinfo template to show $onlinestatus but nothing shows up when viewing a user's profile.

Any ideas what may be going on? Below is an example of the code from the getinfo template I tried using. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your assistance,
Dave


<tr>
<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}"><normalfont><b>Date Registered:</b></normalfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}"><normalfont>$userinfo[datejoined]</normalfont></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><normalfont><b>Status:</b> $onlinestatus</normalfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><normalfont>$userinfo[usertitle]&nbsp;<img src="$userinfo[avatarurl]" border="0" align="middle"></normalfont></td>
</tr>

Did you edit the member.php file to show the online status?

You'll need this hack;

Boofo: $onlinestatus works in the postbit, shouldn't it already be in member.php?

assassingod: All I want to do is display offline or online, nothing too fancy.

[Boofo]

The postbit use functions.php and the profile uses member.php. ;)

I'm not familiar with what I would have to add to member.php

I'll do some searching in the meantime, if you can offer any assistance before I'm able to figure this out, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

[Boofo]

Just use the hack that assassingod linked to above. ;)

[assassingod]

Boofo is correct. All it does is display whether the user is on or offline, which is what you are asking;)

Thanks for your patience, I'm new with this hacking stuff. Got it working and looking just as I wanted it to.

Thanks for your assistance!
