- - getting VB vars to work in a misc php file in the forum directory? (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=35713)

Maybe I don't understand the quesiton?

If you want to know what code the $headeronline var calls here are the instructions written by you. :)

Code:



************************************************

** Number of online users in header / footer! **

************************************************



1. Add the following code to your phpinclude template (PHP-Parsed code):

************************************************************

// start - get online users (hack by firefly)

$datecut=time()-$cookietimeout;

$headerguests=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM session WHERE userid=0 AND lastactivity>$datecut");

$headerusers=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(userid)) AS count FROM session WHERE session.userid>0 AND session.lastactivity>$datecut");

$headerguests=$headerguests[count];

$headerusers=$headerusers[count];

$headeronline=$headerguests+$headerusers;

// end - get online users (hack by firefly)

************************************************************



2. Save the template changes.



3. Place $headeronline wherever you want in either your header or footer templates to show number of online users. In addition, you can also use $headerguests to show number of online guests, or $headerusers to show number of online members.



Enjoy the hack. :-)

Is that what you wanted? :confused:

*bangs head against nearest wall*

HOW are you using $headeronline?! In a template, file, echoing it, what?

Duh.... me likes VB.. :?:

:D

OK, well since I am still a complete noob and I have no idea what "echoing" even means, it's hard to answer your questions.

If you want to know how I am using it in my forum in my

forumdisplay_threadslist

file I added this line: <a href="http://www.theforumz.com/forumz/online.php"><b> $headeronline </b></a> Currently Online Users

Other than that I have given you everything I have done. The way I put it in the misc. php file that's in my forum directory, the instructions on how I got the users to be in a var from your instructions, the pages themselves, how I put it into forum pages.

If you want more you will have to convert your speaking to newbie terms, because I still don't understand. Is all I want it to do is make is to that my misc php file that I have in my forum directory to act like my forum templates and when I type $headeronline in my misc php file I don't want it to show "$headeronline", I want it to actually go get the number of people that were online.

Can you please help me to understand what you are saying and what I need to do?

(Sorry for being such a noob) :(

Thanks.

If you are looking to include the users online in your header, follow the instructions I posted of FireFly's in post 11 of this thread. ( https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...814#post225814 )

no, i mean actually call a template into a misc php file that has global.php included.
