Add Who's Online Locations From Admin CP

[Trigunflame]

General Info
This hack was requested to be available on Vbulletin 3. Being bored, I figured I would take the task in hand and complete it, to be better than it ever was before.

The original designer of the hack (on Vbulletin 2) is the well known Chen Avinadav, which being the great coder that he is, I dont particularly agree with his methods in this case, which he used a an excess query to select data from a template and loop through. This uses the built in datastore of vb3, therefore using No extra queries.

Therefore this hack is Completely original, in every way. I have used a different method, for accomplishing this, and the control panel I have created is intuitive and utlilizes a great many of vbulletins built in controls and phrases. Looking at the code itself on the admin panel alone you will see I didnt just throw this together and slap it on the site. Total creation time was around 4 hours, the code itself not being the main part, just mainly working out issues with the control panel etc..

Features
My version which is completely new, allows you to add the filename for the who's online along with the location name, and URL Title of the link.

The control panel which was the longest part, is pretty concise in how it works considering what I did to it. Provides a good bit of error checking to keep from accidentally doing stuff you didn't intend to do.

Also should note, the deletion part of the script uses JavaScript to confirm whether or not you wish to delete the selected Location.

I hope this gets a lot of installs, being as that my other 2 hacks/bug fixes were really just something I did in a few minutes and didn't put a great deal of effort into, judging by the fact I didnt have to "edit" any vbulletin files, to do what I wanted.

This is really my first release on this site, that I can say I believe is unique in its effort, and shows some insight on things for the newer coders out there. I have put a great deal of effort into the setup of everything as well as the readme file to be concise and as easy to read and understand as possible.

Hopefully hack of the month, lol.. j/k

Installation
I have provided an readme file inside of the zip, with information on how to install the hack, and what needs to be done to do so. Its a fairly easy installation, as you only have to add things.

Would this be able to differ things such as, index.php, index.php?page=contact, index.php?page=links all as different who's online locations?

So basically, using vbindex created pages, would I be able to add the extra pages to the who's online with this hack?

[SnowBot]

WOW so usefull :) nice work :)

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

Maybe later I will implement that, but right now that would be way too much trouble. In the array I would have to specify what variable would determine which pages to look for, I obviously wouldnt just make it to match against ?page= only, then i would have to have it loop through sub arrays for that.

Thats a lot more than what this hack is generally designed for, its just to add it for different .php files.

If you want, a little later I will create a seperate hack and paste it in this thread just for that purpose of allowing multiple locations per .php file.


$custom_online = array(
'testing.php' => array(
'activity' => 'testing.php',
'action' => 'Playing around',
'where' => 'Join the fun',
'sub' => array(
'page' => array(
'show' => array(
'action' => 'showing stuff',
'where' => 'come see'
),
'tell' => array(
'action' => 'telling this',
'where' => 'wanna tell'
)
),
't' => array(
'1' => array(
'action' => 'viewing thread 1',
'where' => 'come look'
),
'2' => array(
'action' => 'viewing thread 2',
'where' => 'come see'
)
)
)
)
);

Is an example of what that multidimentional array could look like...not very pretty, which is why i didnt make this hack to start off like that in the first place.

[Princeton]

installation was flawless :up:

[Trigunflame]

Were the instructions clear enough for your liking? How about the control panel? I wanna fix anything wrong if you see it.. lol

[ChrisSy]

excellent, a very useful hack- thankyou!

[Acido]

Works perfectly. Big Thanx !

[FleaBag]

Wasn't expecting this to come along so soon!

Getting an SQL error on the first install step at the moment. Attempting to work out why now. :)

[Trigunflame]

Hmm, can you paste the error, it should work fine with about any type of vb3 installation. Do you have table prefixes etc..?

[FleaBag]

Here you go... No table prefixes - I don't like to over-complicate.


Database error in vBulletin 3.0.1:
Invalid SQL:
INSERT INTO datastore
VALUES ('custom_online', 'a:0:{}');

[Dean C]

This looks great! Thanks for sharing with the community :)

[58sniper]

I'm getting an error as well during the first step (running whos_online.php)


Database error in vBulletin 3.0.1:

Invalid SQL:
INSERT INTO datastore
VALUES ('custom_online', 'a:0:{}');

mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near ';
' at line 3

mysql error number: 1064

[FleaBag]

Same error as myself.

[Trigunflame]

Try This


Find This:

// Install
$DB_site->query("
INSERT INTO ".TABLE_PREFIX."datastore
VALUES ('custom_online', '".addslashes(serialize($array))."');
");

And replace it with this:

$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "datastore VALUES ('custom_online', 'a:0:{}')");

Tell me if that works..

[FleaBag]

That worked, thank you. :)

[Trigunflame]

Ok good, I reuploaded the zip file with the fix. Should work fine now for everyone.

[FleaBag]

Not sure where I went wrong... It doesn't seem to have worked. No errors, it just says that locations I have added are unknown locations.

[Trigunflame]

Show me a screenshot of your current (custom_online.php) in the browser. If you put the modifications where I told you, it should work just fine.

Remember its doing this based on single filenames, I havn't added support for multiple pages via ?this=that etc...

[58sniper]

The first posted fix resolved my issue as well. It's working now.

The one minor thing I'd change it the ability to NOT show a link to the particular location. I've managed to obtain that with this hack by just putting a space in the URL Display field. But a checkbox or something to not show a link would be nice..

Other than that, this was a MUCH needed hack and should become part of vBulletin

[Dan]

installation was flawless :up:
very nice :) looks very useful for some people

[SnowBot]

Question

If you have to files with same name but in 2 seperate directories how would you add them?

For example

forum/index.php
/links/index.php

[ChrisBaktis]

Awesome Hack!!!! I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to do this manually - your a life saver!

** Chris Clicks Install!

[Trigunflame]

Ok people, cause of 58Sniper I updated the hack to allow you to enable/disable whether links are shown or not for locations.

Enjoy.

[Trigunflame]

Question

If you have to files with same name but in 2 seperate directories how would you add them?

For example

forum/index.php
/links/index.php

Unless you rewrote partly how vbulletin does this stupid, I dont believe that is possible. Vbulletin automatically finds filename by using REGEX to determine base filename, and then compares it doesnt look for which directory it is located in, as everything in its eyes are relative to itself (online.php)

Maybe try renaming one of them to a slightly different name, ie index2.php this can be done easily enough in vbulletins configuration files plus the

// Example
define('THIS_SCRIPT','index2.php');

directive at the top of each script name, helps the script know what its current filename is, when it referrs to itself.

[ImportPassion]

Would this be able to differ things such as, index.php, index.php?page=contact, index.php?page=links all as different who's online locations?


So basically, using vbindex created pages, would I be able to add the extra pages to the who's online with this hack?

I would like this as well, along with being to distinguish between 2 index.php in 2 diff dirs.
At least this is a jumping point.

[SnowBot]

Ok people, cause of 58Sniper I updated the hack to allow you to enable/disable whether links are shown or not for locations.

Enjoy.
where are the upgrade instructions ? what do we have to change ? :) thanks

[SnowBot]

i got it btw but you may wanna add that to your first post :) to just overwrite the file :)

Well you need to replace that code in the readme, on the (functions_online.php) file also, as I changed some directives.

[wrongful]

Thanks a lot. This is exactly what I needed. Installed fine. :)

[teksigns]

i found a bug !

example :
forum installed at:

/forum

i have a script thats installed at and uses the forum engine ....

/forum/links/links.php

my script shows up in the whos online fine and is clickable before i add
the new custom discription.

once i add it... it shows up and displays fine .
however the link is not pointing to the correct location

the link tried to take me to : /forum/links.php

not /forum/links/links.php

can you please fix ....

[teksigns]

ok i fixed it myself already !

heres how....


in : functions_online.php


find:

if ($value['showlink'] == 1)
{
$userinfo['where'] = "<a href=\"$key?$session[sessionurl]\">$value[where]</a>";
}



replace with:

if ($value['showlink'] == 1)
{
$url = htmlspecialchars_uni(stripslashes($userinfo['location']));
$url = addslashes($url);
$url = preg_replace('/(s|sessionhash)=[a-z0-9]{32}(&|&amp;){0,1}/', '', $url);
if ($session['sessionurl'] != '')
{
if (strpos($url, '?') !== false)
{
$url .= "&amp;$session[sessionurl]";
}
else
{
$url .= "?$session[sessionurl]";
}}
$userinfo['location'] = stripslashes(stripslashes($url));
$userinfo['location'] = ereg_replace('&amp;','&',$userinfo[location]);
$userinfo['where'] = "<a href=\"$userinfo[location]\">$value[where]</a>";
}


great hack !



edited my post ....removed the function file include from the code ....

[Acido]

if ($value['showlink'] == 1)
{
require_once('./includes/functions_login.php');
$userinfo['location'] = stripslashes(fetch_replaced_session_url(htmlspecia lchars_uni(stripslashes($userinfo['location']))));
$userinfo['location'] = ereg_replace('&amp;','&',$userinfo[location]);
$userinfo['where'] = "<a href=\"$userinfo[location]\">$value[where]</a>";

great hack !
I cant find the code in functions_online.php :(

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

That is not a bug in the script, all this does is compare filenames which im using vbulletins method. No way would i Include (functions_login.php) a Whole other functions file into the login functions.. a much easier way to do it im sure.

[PET]

exactly what i need ! No need to manualy edit php's :)

[teksigns]

Acido ,

you must have already installed his hack inorder to find the code ......

if you havent installed the hack itself then the code will not be there.

[Oblivion Knight]

Awesome, I'll take a look at this when 3.0.2 is released.. :)
I don't want to do any more modifying when there is another upgrade just around the corner.

ok i altered it so you it dont use the include any longer ......

this is the code im using now and it works just the same without the include .


if ($value['showlink'] == 1)
{
$url = htmlspecialchars_uni(stripslashes($userinfo['location']));
$url = addslashes($url);
$url = preg_replace('/(s|sessionhash)=[a-z0-9]{32}(&|&amp;){0,1}/', '', $url);
if ($session['sessionurl'] != '')
{
if (strpos($url, '?') !== false)
{
$url .= "&amp;$session[sessionurl]";
}
else
{
$url .= "?$session[sessionurl]";
}}
$userinfo['location'] = stripslashes(stripslashes($url));
$userinfo['location'] = ereg_replace('&amp;','&',$userinfo[location]);
$userinfo['where'] = "<a href=\"$userinfo[location]\">$value[where]</a>";
}


hope this works for everyone else

[Bryan Ex]

Just so I'm clear before installing... will this work for indexing php pages outside the VB main directory? For example, an integrated application like a gallery script.

Ill post an addition tonight or tomorrow, thats still way to much code to do something so simple.

[Red Blaze]

Works great, thanks. ^_^ *installs*

[Intex]

Nice work trigunflame - I remember Firefly (I think releasing this hack that I used on v2.x).

Thx.

[PET]

Works perfect ! THANX !!!

[Jolten]

// Instructions
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Open your (index.php) file, which can be found in the admin directory.
We will now edit the file and place [1] Edit.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

// Edit 1
------------------------
Find the following text:
------------------------

construct_nav_option($vbphrase['vbulletin_options'], 'options.php?null=0', '<br />');



that string doesn't exist in my adminCP index.php file.. am I missing something?

And I can't seem to get this to function for areas outside the forum directory. I can get the titles and locations to work.. but the urls all result in internal 500 errors. It may be due to the dynamic links. it's good and it'll be useful, jut not the solve-all i was hoping for.

In addition the delete function doesnt' work. All it does is present a pop up window but won't actually delete the locations. So now I've got who's online displayign a buch of useless information adn links that will result in errors.. time to uninstall I guess.

[boatdesign]

I'm trying to show photopost locations in my who's online, but since that's installed in a separate directory (e.g. mydomain.com/photopost/index.php and mydomain.com/vbulletin/index.php) this isn't currently be possible, correct?

[Erwin]

Nice work. :)

[TWTCommish]

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: build_datastore() in /home/virtual/site4/fst/var/www/html/community/admincp/custom_online.php on line 91I'm stumped.

[RichieBoy67]

I beieve I have it installed and working but I want it to show when people are in my VBXIRC chat...

I add the chat/index.php and it shows nothing

[Intex]

I've installed this and although everything appears ok, when you come to add anything, you still get 'unknown location' for any of these added pages. Same problem as RichieBoy67 above, however mine was in the root of the fourms directory. Any ideas?

I'm using 3.0.1.

[Bryan Ex]

Is this supposed to work for directories outside the vB directory as well or only those within it?

Thanks for your hack, its working very well but I have one additional question.

I have integrated Photopost to my board and users browsing the gallery are showing up like this now in who's online for example:

Unknown Location
/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=88&sort=1&size=medium&cat=2

Could the hack be updated so that I can also add file or complete directorys to be shown as a link.

Example:

My Board is installed at ./forum
The gallery is installed at ./photopost

It would now be nice if any user browsing within /photopost which is logically ../photopost from the view of /forum can be shown as 'BROWSING THE GALLERY' without entering a special file.

Its easier cause everyone navigating through /photopost is in the gallery and it does not matter where in detail.

[Trigunflame]

Ill try to make an update in a few days, ive been very busy on some game development on private projects as of late, and havnt had time to provide support some of the stuff Ive been working on here.

[SVTBlackLight01]

If you could add directories as well as specifics files that would be great. Most of the locations I need to add are outside the forum directory.

[apokphp]

I thought this was what I was needing...but it doesn't do quite what I thought. Like 1/2 the other posters here...I'm needing it to show locations for non-vb pages outside the /forums directory.

Things like /chess/index.php or /gallery/index.php or quizzes/index.php, which are all subdirectories of the root.

[sully02]

I must be doing something wrong. When I tested it and went to look at my online.php page, everything came up as 12-31-1969 and unknown location. Furthermore, my index.php on my AdminCP is no longer working, giving me the following error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '}' in /home/sportsd/public_html/forums/admincp/index.php on line 587

[roundhost]

Intalled flawlessly, thnks a bunch :)

[rinkrat]

Would this be able to differ things such as, index.php, index.php?page=contact, index.php?page=links all as different who's online locations?


So basically, using vbindex created pages, would I be able to add the extra pages to the who's online with this hack?


I need that for VBAdvanced too.

[vonedaddy]

I installed and it works great! But I have to agree with the rest of the folks. I need it to work outside the forums firectory also.

[Caiman]

Flawless install, works a treat, thanks!

*clicks install

[Zelda-King]

I beieve I have it installed and working but I want it to show when people are in my VBXIRC chat...

I add the chat/index.php and it shows nothingThat would be because the file is called 'index.php' which is already covered. I've not tested but perhaps the hack doesn't work with sub-directories so what you could do is put your chat/index.php in your root forum directory and rename the file, though perhaps that may complicate things inside the chat program itself.

[roundhost]

i donloaded this expecting problems...none so far, thums up

/me clicks install

[y2krazy]

/me clicks install!

[Zelda-King]

How about extending this so it covers member.php as well?

[W4arab]

thanx a lot

very nice and helpful :up:

thank's y2krazy

[Oblivion Knight]

How about extending this so it covers member.php as well?Yeah, I just noticed this.. Any locations added through this hack do not get pulled for member.php and is shown as an unknown location (see attachments).

[58sniper]

Yeah, I just noticed this.. Any locations added through this hack do not get pulled for member.php and is shown as an unknown location (see attachments).


Wow - good point. I never noticed that before. And I've certainly got a couple of pages that users don't need to try and access.

[Oblivion Knight]

You can fix the member.php issue by doing the following..

Find:
'rankphp'Replace it with:
'rankphp',
'custom_online'

Find:
if (!($permissions['forumpermissions'] & CANVIEW) OR !($permissions['genericpermissions'] & CANVIEWMEMBERS))
{
print_no_permission();
}
Add below:
// Custom Whos Online Hack
$custom_online = @unserialize($datastore['custom_online']);

[TruckMuddr]

**Installed

and awaiting for the photopost fix hopeing it will fix my other problem also. any link that have stuff after the .php won't work.

[TruckMuddr]

I got it to work, you just can't us a link if it has something behind it like "/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=151" you can do:

FileName: showphoto.php
Location: Viewing Gallery

and it'll work you just can't use a link.

use this and the link in the whos online will include everything after the .php
that way you can see the excact photo , etc that they are viewing .


https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=526704&postcount=32


when adding a new one just dont include anything after the .php .
it will do this on its own .....

[Bison]

I installed this, but I guess this is only good to use when you add something (like a hack) that doesn't display the right location, if someone is active in that area ... right?

I was looking for a hack that hides the real location of admins (or anyone I choose) from the WOL display.

[Wordplay]

Questions:

-if i add http://www.xxx.com/4images/details.php? and specify the filename as gallery. would that put all the details.php? pages under gallery, such as details.php?image_id=224?.

-does this only work for php pages?

thanks alot for the hack!

[FleaBag]

Finally got this going [2nd attempt]... Works like a charm this time around! Thanks a lot. :)

[SamirDarji]

Has anyone tried this on 3.0.3 and what are the limitations of the hack? From reading the thread, I've gathered that it will still show "unknown" in member.php, and that it can't be used for php files outside of the root of the forums. Anything else?

[bendigo-tech]

Nice work. Thanks a lot. I will install shortly and report any errors (if any). :)

[bondjetta]

fantastic! :D I needed this :D Thank you!

Works. there is a mod above our posts, I think Oblivion did it for member php. and that as well... works. straight install worked very easy. you may see I think the fist line they ask you to look for has a extra word in it on my file. (was it online.php?) anyway if you do run into that just add the word that is missing. If you dont know what I am talking about ignore. IF you do dont worry the hack still works.
"Just add the word in the original line that is missing"

[T3MEDIA]

Is it safe to say all these Hacks and mods are like bug fixes.
Well I guess not if you didnt hack it in the first place.

[TCB]

Great mod (and also thanks to the few great hacks made for it) :D

[T3MEDIA]

This will fix the "unknown" issue in member.php:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=553606&postcount=67
I got photopost and I have a TON of unknown locations now but this hack wont work with just the php I have to put the whole thing like php?p=553606&postcount=67 and that could be anything from the amount of users I have.

anyway to fix this? Arrays? I dont care if its long or ugly.

[ambumann]

Edit: Had to delete link from admincp to get it to work.

I am not able to make this hack work at all. Whenever my test user is somewhere else than default vB locations, who's online shows "Viewing Index"...

[ChrisBaktis]

I converted to 3.07 and reinstalled the hack and I cannot get the url to show. It will print the Location but not the URL...

The Hack code calls for this:

// Edit 1
------------------------
Find the following text:
------------------------

global $limitlower, $limitupper, $stylevar, $vbphrase, $ipclass, $show, $forumcache;

----------------------
Replace the text with:
----------------------

global $limitlower, $limitupper, $stylevar, $vbphrase, $ipclass, $show, $forumcache, $custom_online;

However the 3.07 .PHP file only shows this:

global $limitlower, $limitupper, $stylevar, $vbphrase, $ipclass, $show, $forumcache, $usergroupcache;

I tried putting the $custom_online at the end and also before $usergroupcache but it still makes no difference...can I get some help?

[ChrisBaktis]

Anyone?

Clicked Install :) :) :)

Anyone?

when you added it after the $usergroupcache; did you remove the ; and put a , in place and then put a ; after $custom_online

Yes, I am getting the same thing. My script lies outside the forums root, which I think is the problem. The URL assumes the script is at forum root. But the displayed address is generated a different way.

The hack works fine, but could use a followup tuneup. :)

This hack is brilliant!!!!!

Working fine in a highly modded and styled 3.0.7 board. This modification is a must for anyone with major additions. This should be standard issue in vB and is one of the missing features. Thanks!

in vB 3.0.7

in step 3 when modifying (functions_online.php) in edit 1
i looked for $ipclass instead of that whole line
and added $custom_online at the end of the line before the ;

in other words..

find
global $limitlower, $limitupper, $stylevar, $vbphrase, $ipclass, $show, $forumcache, $usergroupcache;
and replace with

global $limitlower, $limitupper, $stylevar, $vbphrase, $ipclass, $show, $forumcache, $usergroupcache, $custom_online;

I agree with the former speaker Aye Aye

Thanks for the mod and Install is clicked :up: :up:

I love and have been using this mod. However its not working for one of my locations.

I have CMPS 2.0 installed, and my cmps_index.page is in root. My forums are in /forums/

However if I add ./cmps.index as show in the screenshot, it still shows up


Unknown Location
/cmps_index.php


in my whos online when I view it :(

Something else that should have been part of the original code!

Nice job!

I have a few questions...

I have this site, www.h2mp.com that basically checks when you go there to see if you are logged into the forums or not. So when someone logins it it shows on the main page they are logged in as well.

Problem is outside of the forums on www.h2mp.com/index.php it is treating that like the index of the forums i guess beause it is checking to see if you are logged in as well.

I have it in the admin cp for the file to be ././index.php and it should come up with the custom title though it is still saying viewing forum index etc.

My script to check if you are logged in is simple, just like if(!$bbuserinfo['userid']){ etc while i require the global.php file. Is there anything i can do to fix this, by requiring other files, or making some changes

If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it.

[mismatch]

seems I'm a year behind everyone else lol but installed this (nice and easy thanks) but like a number of others would like a further development so it includes files outside the VB directory as thats where all my unknown locations are.

[Hades-1]

im sorry but this hack just does not work for me, i installed many hacks i know what im doing.

but no matter what everything still says "unknown Location"

does anyone want to take a screenie of their admincp and show me how they are entering their info?
