[Updated] Users Online

Hi, I have modified the original Users Online (online.php)

All i have changed are the templates really, and put it into member.php so its not one more file!

It can be found here:

Hope it is of some use to someone.

PS. I Take no credit at all for this "hack"

Better then ever. :)

How can I get it to show guests like guest, guest2.etc?

Id tell you apart from the fact i didn't write the hack, i just cleaned it up

okay sorry

Glad you make it better. :)

Very nice hack!

One could also add an '@' behind the names on the main page user listing. And when you click it you'll be transferred to the thread the person is looking at.
like:
DVD Plaza@, leadZERO@, PeF@, ukliam@

in template 'loggedinuser' use this:

<a href="member.php?action=getinfo&userid=$userid">$username</a><a href="$locationLink">@</a>

and in index.php (line154) paste:
$locationLink = $location;

right under:
$username=$loggedin[username];
$location=$loggedin[location];

cya!

tried the @ and when i click on my @ it takes me to the root directory not the index.php where im located.?

in the loggedinuser template i added this code looks pretty good
<smallfont>There are currently $numberregistered member(s) and $numberguest guest(s) on the boards.</smallfont><a href="member.php?action=onlineusers"><br><B>Browsing the Boards</B></a><br></normalfont><a href="member.php?action=getinfo&userid=$userid">$username</a>

OH ok I forgot something...

for the @ addition search for
$username=$loggedin[username];
$location=$loggedin[location];
on line 143

directly underneath it paste
$locationLink = $location;

if you look about 10 lines more below you'll find
$username=$loggedin[username];
$location=$loggedin[location];
again paste
$locationLink = $location;
under it

So you'll end up with 2
$locationLink = $location;

Should work now
Hope this helps

hey thats pretty cool
it works now
thanx:)

Hey would ya look at that. People are still using my code! That reminds me, I need to make it better (and 2.0 compliant). I'll probably make it suck less for bigger sites (by maybe denormalizing the session table a bit) and keep the small-site version (that performs the lookups on the URL).

There's a problem with v1.1.5.

I was testing my board with 1 invisible member (me) and 0 guests and clicking on More... takes me to a white empty page.

Any fix for this?

did you check your templates?

Should guests show up on the 'Who's Online' page along with their location?

I just followed the instruction reported by Nic[H]olas and Nemmie. :)
Anyway... what do templates have to do with an empty page? :)

Well, I just followed my own instructions and it works fine. I'm using vB 1.1.5

I Tried this earlier on @ college with 3 buddies

Server is an AMD Duron 750, 64MB Ram, Apache 1.3.14 PHP 4.0.4 and MySQL (Can't remember which version)

The Site is a local intranet at my college that the college don't know I have set up! It only works when I'm at the college AND logged into the network.

So I can't give the IP as it won't work unless your in the college! and, you're not :p

Well I got that problem ONLY with 1 invisible member and no other guests.
If there are visible members (1 or more) and/or guests then the "More..." link takes you to a correct page.

I experience the same thing and when there's guests they don't show up. I'm going to look it over and make sure I didn't miss something.

hmm.. i'm still having a problem with this.. everytime i click on the @ symbol i'm am taken to the root dir. and not the index.php as i'm supposed to.. i saw a post above here saying the same thing.. has this been corrected ?? and if so.. how was it done ??
