Go to a forum that people are browsing.
Once in the forum scroll to the bottom and click on " Currently Active Users".
You'll be taken to "online.php?f=X" (Where X is the forum ID).
This will show all the users and guests that are viewing that particular forum and the threads within that forum.

This will be very useful for me, thanks.
Going to try it out soon :)

Woops Was looking for the first line of text in the templates.... Should change those directions to be a bit more specific that a core file needs to be edited.

I can't get it to work... First time I imported the xml I got an error the second time it looked as if it did not take. Third time is a charm but no good results

Do you remember what the error was?

Sorry I should have taken a screen shot. But it said something about invalid......line.....

hmm seems interesting.. but since my server is slow.. it might lag it more..

If I get a new server, I'll be using this for sure. :)

Thanks for another nice hack.

I would rather see the results from a very active site though.

i'm thinking this would add an additional query for each logged in session... on a busy form, that could mean trouble.

All I'm adding is AND session.inforum = '$currentforumid' to the WHERE clause and only if the address bar reads "online.php?f=X" otherwise it will return blank.

ahhh, i see that now... just pulling more info from the existing query, i'll check it out.

So whats the deal? I can't get this to work. I get it to install I make the changes to the files and nothing? I'm using 3.6.7

I don't know why it doesn't work on 3.6.7

If vBulletin 3.7 has a hook in 'online.php' so manual edits are unneeded you have my permission to upgrade this hack.
