Hello All,

If someone doesn't mind, would you do this hack for vB3?

Chen's Number of Online Users in Header / Footer - vB2 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=33048)

Thanks.

I'll take this, already have made it for vB3 (at a beta 6 time) but I'm trying to improve it, make it more efficient so that there is no need for additional queries every single page load. :)

Too late Kura :p but you could come up with another version of it I suppose

That uses 2 queries / page. I've had that done since beta 4 and it's nothing big, it's getting the Total amount of users online to show up using 0 queries that's a challenge. :)

So that's what I'll be doing. :)

Zero queries eh? Hmmm I hope you DO come up with it. Less queries the better. Good luck.

Thank you KuraFire, looking forward to this with zero queries.

Thank you Koutaru for linking me to Erwin's version.

I'm a man of little queries. :D
I've been developing some hacks dedicated solely to making hacking your vB more easy, more efficient, and more flexible. I'm a strong favoritist to:
- as little file edits as possible;
- minimum amount of queries;
- minimum amount of query execution time (ie. don't do 1 query instead of 2 when it takes 3 times as long as the 2 queries);
- one consistent form of vBulletin-hacking that works for all hacks and prevents the chaos that we have with vB2 hacks (the 1001 different install methods etc.).
