Signature stats

[Murphinator]

This is sortof like my modification with the jukebox 'cept its for the signature stats. What ive found out is taht if you have your banner in your signature on other forums and people see it, they will show up as a guest in your whos online, so i just did the same thing i did for the jukebox

the signature stats hack can be found here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=65361&page=1&pp=15)

step one:
open ROOT/includes/functions_online.php

Find:

case 'online':
$userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['viewing_whos_online'];
break;

after add:
case 'Viewing remote banner':
$userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['banner'];
break;


find:

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

after add


case 'signature.php':
$userinfo['activity'] = 'Viewing remote banner';
break;



now go into your acp and go to languages and phrases-->phrase manager-->at the bottom of the page click add new phrase

varname: banner
text: Viewing banner


done!
please click install

I dont seem to understand... can you post some screenshots...?

[Murphinator]

see how it says viewing banner instead of unknown loacation?

[Polo]

oh I see.. thanks for clarifiing that :)

[Murphinator]

no problem, basically a cave man can make this modificaton, which pretty much fits my personality, except for the grunting part

Good work- but the title of the mod should be changed to "signature stats 'who's online'" or something clearer

[Murphinator]

well its not whos online, to tell you the truth i think i really shouldntve posted this here, its stupid, the guests show up because there viewing your stat banner somewhere else but maybe ill release another that wont show up!

That right there is exactly what I was looking for... but it's still an improvement from "User Location Unknown" or whatever. Thanks Murphinator :)

[Murphinator]

ill try to think of a way, i already know it, but i dont know how to code it

Ok - I see now, it is confusing. But then again, I am easily confused :D

[Murphinator]

ok a user sees your banner on a different website, even though the signature.php file happens to be in your forum root, so when a user on a remote site sees that jpg there also technically looking at the file, so it shows up on whos online, now what id like to do is make it so it doesnt show up at all

thanks 4 this, ive installed.

[Murphinator]

no problem, im thinking maybe of a code i could use so it doesnt show up. but that would disable alll of the unknown loacations

You can do this easy by installing Custom Online Locations.
