Removing Unknown Location in WOL

[T3MEDIA]

Is there a way to only show what vb is aware of in Who's online?

I dont care if a user is in a area that is Unknown and really prefer it not be there.

ANY ideas what so ever on this?

THANKS!

You do know that it's only shown to Admin's with the approriate permissions: you can change your own admin Permissions to not permit yourself to see it...

[T3MEDIA]

no... I mean (thanks for the fast reply btw) I want everyone to see it. that isnt a issue. I want the UNKNOWN locations not to show up. If a user is in a unknown location just keep where they were last.

See what happens is a user might be in chat. then goto a page I made that is unknown... I rather it simply keep where they were last. and ignore unknown locations.

You could add the location to your WOL, or alter the "Unknown" message.

ok... lets do that. How would you add the location to WOL?

That wasnt funny.

I need a way for it to work with WHO'S online. That shows users online on anypage. two differnt things.

hmmm... open online.php and search:
// Let's show the admin the location but put something false up for everyone else..
if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6) {
$userinfo[location] = htmlspecialchars(stripslashes(replacesession($user info[location])));
$userinfo[where] = "<b>Unknown Location:</b> <a href=\"$userinfo[location]\">$userinfo[location]</a>";
} else {
// We were unable to parse the location
$userinfo[where] = "$bbtitle <a href='index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]'>Main Index</a>";
}
}

I'm not the better person for this, but I'm sure that must be modified. Have you tried removing this line:
$userinfo[where] = "<b>Unknown Location:</b> <a href=\"$userinfo[location]\">$userinfo[location]</a>";

[T3MEDIA]

ya think its a hack then... darn I was hoping I could template it out some how...
the two unknow locations are the same.... they never change...
/forums/pull.php?do=footer this is my footer... its like the bottom menu. would be nice if it said using members menu
/forums/vbindex.php? (sometimes the ? sint there) is my main page. would be nice if it could say main page.

This code removal... that is the ticket just to remove unknown locations period?

I would use that if I have no alternative.

[MeTaL_oRgY]

yeah, it would remove the unknown locations for sure.. I've been trying to do this and can't find a solution.. not that I'm such a huge hacker.. but I'm learning.. lol... you should wait for someone capable of doing this... that's the only advice I can give you.. sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Adding anything to the WOL involves making two edits to functions_online.php ;

Find ;


case 'bugs.php':
$userinfo['activity'] = 'bugs';
break;

and below it add ;


case 'xxxxx.php':
$userinfo['activity'] = 'xxxxx';
break;

Then find ;


case 'modcplogin':
$userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['moderator_control_panel_login'];
break;

and below it add ;


case 'xxxxx':
$userinfo['action'] = " zzzzz zzzzz zzzzz";
break;

Where "xxxxx.php" is the php script file name and "zzzzz zzzzz zzzzz" is the description you want to appear in the WOL when a person is using that particular script.

:)

And.... what do I do again? I knotice the lingo is so out there... but I love you guys cuz you try to help. that is cool.

So the zzzzz is where I ummm put like something? like user is busy ect?

Ohhh I see... your saying to place the php I am messing with into this file with a descript?

[T3MEDIA]

What version you got? Im 3.0.3 i dont see this code. Darn.


hmmm... open online.php and search:
// Let's show the admin the location but put something false up for everyone else..
if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6) {
$userinfo[location] = htmlspecialchars(stripslashes(replacesession($user info[location])));
$userinfo[where] = "<b>Unknown Location:</b> <a href=\"$userinfo[location]\">$userinfo[location]</a>";
} else {
// We were unable to parse the location
$userinfo[where] = "$bbtitle <a href='index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]'>Main Index</a>";
}
}

[MeTaL_oRgY]

oh.. sorry.. I'm at vB 2.3.5 .... but try opening online.php and search for the word "Unknown".. you'll find what you are looking for there ;)

Yeah but you didnt not state if the mod the other gentleman did works with what your saying to do. you also say if you mod one you should mod the other. so I am un sure if this is cuppled with what you said or not.

That makes sense no?
