I tried this hack and got an "oops1" on the page.

Can someone please help me? :(

Thank you.

*bump*

pretty please, help me? :)

Will this work across sub-domains?

I have my forums @ http://forum.northants-chamber.co.uk and would like to add this hack to http://www.northants-chamber.co.uk

Can you see any problems with trying that ?

Im on a NT machine... when i try it i get this error message ...


Fatal error: Failed opening required '/sng.net/www/vb/admin/config.php' (include_path='') in E:\nthc-spc\seandan\sngnet\sng.net\www\online.php on line 46

Fantastic hack, just what I needed, thank you.

any chance of this working with Vb 2.2.1 ?

It works with both 2.2.1 and 2.2.2.

Does anyone know why I'm getting this error? :(

Does anyone know if this works with vbportal3.0pr7 with vb2.2.2?

Works great !!

Thanks

But i would really just like a total number - members and guests added together .... example Users on Forum :

Can anyone do this please ?

To have the total of both Member and Guest put this code

$somenumber=$regmemberson+$guestson;
endwhile;
echo("Users on forums: $somenumber.");
?>

Under:

while($guest = mysql_fetch_array($guests)):
$guestson = number_format($guest[guestsonline]);

will this hack work with the variable to show online users numbers with fireflys hack?

Hello TubeDogg, I was wondering if you would please help me out if possible? I am using this hack and for some reason, when I leave the main page to goto the forums, then come back to the main page it will double the amount of people one.

Take for instance (right now), I am online on my forums and then I went back to the main page and it said their were 7 members online, when I was the only one online (I checked, no invisible users either).

Could the reason be me browsing the board with cookies? If so, I will not worry about it, if that is not the reason, maybe you or someone else could help me out and tell me what is the problem.

Thanks,

- SaintDog

i'm also having the problem in v 2.2.2 where the number of users on my seperate page is more than the number of users shown on the message boards.

anyone help please? :D

Good to know I am not the only one having this small problem :)

Any support here?

What exactly do you mean???

The problem is that the people are stored in a Database called Session... In session, there can be multiple people and sometimes people not logged into teh forums but thier session is there..
I am working on a nice 'ipgrade' for this hack.. It will be available later on today! :D

How do I put a line break between "Member(s) On" and "Guest(s) On" ?

I don't know PHP :o

find
echo("Member(s) on: $regmemberson. Guest(s) on: $guestson.");
replace with
echo("Member(s) on: $regmemberson.<br>Guest(s) on: $guestson.");

Duh... I thought of that, but I didn't even try it... Thanks! :D

did it work? (it should have)

Yup it worked

Now my next question:

Which is faster, PHP includes, or SSI? I have the option of both...

i personally use PHP includes, due to the simple fact that all of my pages are built using PHP, however, if you are running a series of normal shtml pages, and only using PHP on some of them, it might be easier to use the SSI.

But it's up to you at the end of the day really :)

Well my whole site is going to be PHP based soon, so I thought I would use PHP includes... But I seem to be having a problem...

Say I am using the includes on my home page (index.php)....

I want to use includes in a subdir (say /included/)

The problem is, my IMG tags aren't right when I include... If I use IMG SRC ="image.gif", the references on the included page all point to root (root/image.gif), rather than /included/image.gif

If the page is on another subdir (say /reviews/), the img tags all change to that subdir... (/reviews/image.php)

So what should I do? I think SSI would work for now, and if that's the case I can just use .inc on the included pages (I assume both SSI and PHP will include those files just fine)...

But to keep things simple for my programmer, I'd like to use PHP includes all the way through...

Ideas?

Hey,
When you post an image do it liek this:

../image.gif

That will bring you back one directory.. :) if you want to go back two directorys do this:

../../image.gif...

Or if you want to go back a directory and into one do somethign like this:

../images/image.gif

I hope that helps you..

That's what I did... it doesn't work

what code do i put into the main page to get it to show up?

ill definetly use it when my page is up

OK I fixed the problem by using true html for the image and links... IE rather than use /img/image.gif I use http://www.domain.com/img/image.gif

It works now! :D

Can a few of you who have got this hack working post links to examples of your pages where it works? I'd like to see what this looks like when functioning and the hytek.com link provided doesn't show a page at all. Thanks.

I wouldn't get worked up about it. I certainly appreciate Tubedogg - he has done some killer hacks and I use them - but this one doesn't work, for the simple fact that if you include it on another page it will display many more people being on then there actually are. For example, your who's online in the forums might say 22, but the hack will say 40 (or whatever).

And before you get excited and think it's reflecting total people on your site, not just forums - no it isn't. It's double-counting some logins. Don't know why - no one has answered that one.

The modified hack another member posted does the same thing. Personally, I think a hack that's supposed to show how many people are online that doesn't get the correct number is fairly useless. Not being insulting, just stating the facts.

I just finished getting this script up and running on our site. I ran into the same problems many of you did with the script reporting far more members than the forums did. I've got a fix that's working for me and my version of the hack reports the same number of members and guests as the forums do. I replaced lines 69-74 of the script that read like this:

and I replaced them with these lines:
I'm also attaching a copy of the full script as I'm running it (except with the admin directory name changed at the top. My version is in a vertical table approximately 95 pixels wide that I put on the side of the site. I've only done that for the list of statistics only - I didn't mess with the username list part.

Basically all I did was take the code out of the index.php file that was used for counting up the users and modified the variables and plugged it in there. Hopefully this will help you guys get it up and running and useful. I suppose there's a possibility that more errors will show up but I've been watching mine for 45 minutes now and it's been consistent that entire time.

Xube - here's a few examples.

The original hack with usernames listed - http://www.turbodieselregister.com/forums/online3.php

The original hack with usernames turned off - http://www.turbodieselregister.com/forums/online2.php

and my version with usernames off and displayed vertically in a table - http://www.turbodieselregister.com/forums/online.php

cool i'll use this one, thanks

How can I add an Image b4 every username? since how these things show up, don't match my layout, I have a arrow b4 every username, and Image Arrow, HOW CAN I ADD THAT???

I added this code
in the online.php
But I get this error

I don't mean to both you Steve St.Lauren, but is there any way you can tell me how to use your code...but to just show total (members + guest) as one number?

Here you go importmix. Attached is an online.php that will do what you're looking for. Simply edit this file and put the path to your admin directory (full path) near the top and then replace your online.php with this one (backup your old one first). I replaced the two lines that say members and guest with one line that says online and combine the two.
