Online Users

[Mr Chad]

How can i make it so it displays the amount of ppl online in the header.

Its only working on the homepage. What php file should i edit.

Assuming that you only want the Numbers:
Hook: global_start

if (THIS_SCRIPT != 'index' AND !$show['search_engine'])
{
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_bigthree.php');
$datecut = TIMENOW - $vbulletin->options['cookietimeout'];
$numbervisible = 0;
$numberregistered = 0;
$numberguest = 0;

$forumusers = $db->query_read("
SELECT
user.username, (user.options & " . $vbulletin->bf_misc_useroptions['invisible'] . ") AS invisible, session.userid, session.lastactivity
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "session AS session
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user ON(user.userid = session.userid)
WHERE session.lastactivity > $datecut
");

while ($loggedin = $db->fetch_array($forumusers))
{
$userid = $loggedin['userid'];
if (!$userid)
{ // Guest
$numberguest++;
}
else if (empty($userinfos["$userid"]) OR ($userinfos["$userid"]['lastactivity'] < $loggedin['lastactivity']))
{
$userinfos["$userid"] = $loggedin;
}
}

if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] AND $numberguest == 0)
{
$numberguest++;
}

foreach ($userinfos AS $userid => $loggedin)
{
$numberregistered++;
if (fetch_online_status($loggedin))
{
$numbervisible++;
}
}

// memory saving
unset($userinfos, $loggedin);

$db->free_result($forumusers);

$totalonline = $numberregistered + $numberguest;
$numberinvisible = $numberregistered - $numbervisible;
}


Then you can use $numberregistered, $numberguest, $totalonline, $numbervisible and $numberinvisible in Template header.

Was i spose to add that in the global.php under the global_start section? If i was then it didnt work.

[Andreas]

No, this was meant as a Plugin for Hook global_start.
And it does work for me :)

[Mr Chad]

Oh, let me try this

ok i did it and, when i put the text
Online: $totalonline ($vbphrase[x_members_and_y_guests])
and look at the header it is jsut blank, like i didnt even put anything in it.

[Tony G]

Did you add it under the correct hook? And I'm not sure if that phrase will work in there. Try it without the $vbphrase.

[Mr Chad]

I dont understand why it is not working. Still nothing.

What does !$show['search_engine'] do?

Thanks.

[Andreas]

!show['search_engine'] = Current user is not a Spider

!show['search_engine'] = Current user is not a Spider

ah ok danke :)

[yinyang]

weird. this doesn't work for me either.

[heynurse]

I'd also like to show the $totalonline in my header, could someone provide specific instructions where to add the hook and what code to add to the header to call it? Thanks

I added it to the correct hook location, but it's just comming up blank for me when I use: $totalonline in my header.

Any tips? Is there a specific format I am supposed to be using in my header?

only problem i have is that the vbcmps online users module's guest count gets doubled.
