Cool - let us know when you are ready! This is pretty sweet :D

New version available :)

Interesting way of doing it..

Well a boring way just wouldn't be fun would it? ;)

Great hack..... and I like the way you cache the value inside of a template in the new version, that's a great way to avoid the overhead of another query :)

thanks

the instructions of the upgrade said to change this code

"$checkmax = $DB_site->query_first("...etc"

for this one

"$maxrecords = explode(" ", $templatecache...etc"

in forumhome_loggedinusers template. thats index.php... detail. thanks again.

Oops, you're right :)

I've altered the file with the new instructions.

installed the new version and it was painless to do :)

i really have to put my head in my php/mysql books so i can start to contribute :D

Really you don't even need the books...

I found that even after I bought a PHP book I still use the online manuals more often then the book.

Very true. In fact, I taught myself the basics of PHP by hacking the nuts off a copy of vBLite.
