A hack which shows if the user is online or not within a column on the memberlist. Pretty simple.

Hack suggested by Ifrani.

Last updated on 05th of November 2001 08:20 GMT

I had hoped to just add to the original SQL query to make this hack work, obviously this didn't seem possible with the errors that people have been having with sessions.

Redocumented adding an extra query.

Installed here, with a little twist. :)

btw to show time instead of the little icon.

Like 12:13pm etc

Do the following

instead of using this

use this

demo or SS?

thanks

I installed this, but I noticed that for each of the two users who were online at the time I tested it, one showed up twice in the member list, and the other showed up three times. Those are duplicate entries, as seen in the attached image. The entire row was repeated right below the first row.

oh ok, thanks ;)

@PPN

Thank you, it works great for me !!! Thats what I'am looking for...

Wroks great.. ^^

er... uuh... its showing multiple sessions for me... O.o i have the updated one installed too... O.o

:lost:

-Syphin

Yep, I have the same problem...

@PPN
Can u help us, please ? :)

updated documentation, it doesn't look like i could do it with one query.

Does the updated documentation fix the problem mentioned by myself, Syphin, and Ifrani?

There is a problem with the new directions.

In the "memberlist.php" section, the stuff you say to look for in the second part of that step (starts with if ($userinfo[receivepm]) {) is actually in the file online.php file.

OK, I installed the new version. There were only a few other people online at the time. I still show up twice, but everybody else online only showed up once. I talked to another person who was online by ICQ and he confirmed that to him, I showed up twice, and everybody else online only showed up once. So there's still something not quite right here.

same thing here... >_<


-Syphin

did you return the Query to,

Don't add that select query as this will achieve the same thing and will not add any queries or overhead, just add this to the code and make the html changes to the templates as described above:

find:below it add:You can apply this to any page to show whether a user is online or offline without touching the session table.

But i've noticed that sometimes the user profile doesn't update and the session query slows a different time from the one within the userprofile.

If the last* times in the user table aren't updating than there is a problem with the doshutdown() function not activating. If this was the case than you would notice that users would not be showing up on the "Browsing this forum" feature as that information is set in the same query that updates the lastvisit & lastactivity times in the user table.

ok thanks Fredie, updated the documentation and removed the query i had running and added the thing to prevent them seeing invisible users.

you also have
!userinfo['invisible']
instead of
!$userinfo['invisible']

@PPN

Sorry I can't follow, what do I have to do ???

re apply the hack again is the simpliest way :P

Works perfect now.. ^^ thnx...

-Syphin

Seems to be working ok here. Thanks freddie. :)

Now it is doing his job :)... Thanks again...

I still see myself twice in the member list. But I'm wondering if maybe I've left something from one of the earlier versions in there that is screwing things up. Can you tell me how to make sure that all the earlier versions of this hack are completely removed?

Also, the instructions still say to do things with memberlist.php that apply to online.php, not memberlist.php.

this has nothing to do with online.php ...

its memberlist.php we're using

You say to look for
I don't find any of these lines in memberlist.php:

$userinfo[pmlink] = "&nbsp;";
or
eval("\$userinfo[pmlink] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_sendpm")."\";");
or
$userinfo[pmlink] = "&nbsp;";

Firefly what's the twist?

I believe his twist is that instead of putting the indicator in a separate column in the middle, he puts it next to the person name, all the way on the left (and not in a new column). I like it better Firefly's way, and that's how I did it, too.

Gotcha, no my question is I did my online offline like this site... how can I get it to show the icon and not the text next to the users name?

I like the way this is done here...on this page.
How can I make this work like this page to the left with
"Online or Offline" showing under the username?
Thanks in advance.

Maybe I should have been more specific....
Firefly, how did you make yours like that on the left?
Great job btw and looks really cool.
What script I need?

That's a simple matter of editing the postbit template and relocating this: $onlinestatus. Here, it's above this line: Registered: $post[joindate].

Basically... In the postbit template:
Find:
Change to:
Find:
Change to:

works great for me
cheers :D

Thanks man, I appreciate it!
Now if I could only make it glow online...lol

I think you need to change the postbit_online template to something like:
<smallfont><table style="filter:glow(color=#C4C400, strength=2)">Online</table></smallfont>

...and the postbit_offline template to something like
<smallfont><table>Offline</table></smallfont>

The glow style was copied from the page source here, but I'm guessing as to the exact formatting of the template. You may need to remove the <br> from after the $onlinestatus that you relocated per my earlier directions.

Man that worked GREAT!!
Thank you ever so much for taking your time to help me.
I really really appreciate it!
