Nice

Very useful :up: /installs

excellent mod!

If it takes no file mods, why is it in the forum for file mods? ;)

I said the same thing as I read it LOL

Nice one tho.. will definitely use it!

We are currently discussing what actually classifies as a Plugin and havn't decided a clear definition yet, therefore this Hack isn't classified as a Plugin at the moment.

Hi Kirby

Your instructions are a little rare ;)
To simply call your php file via the browser bar is not the optimal solution.
Could you either make instructions how to implement it into the navigation frame or make the xml file work as plugin (once the acp got hooked ;))

But thx for this nice feature.

Hmm ... what instructions do you need/want?
There is a XML File for the AdminCP Nav - just upload it as stated in the Readme and there will be a new entry.

Oh sorry I missed that.
Forgot to login again ;)

Nice one Thx

@Tamarian
Erm ... I created the ZIP on Windows.
Wonder how there could any permissions at all ...

I have no idea. If no one else encounters it, that's a good thing :)

Perfect for the Gallery hack. Thank you!!

Update for Beta 3
The link now does appear in Navgroup Maintenance instead of creating another Navgroup.
Tu update, delete cpnav_customonline.xml and upload cpnav_customonline_b3.xml instead.

Working with RC1 Kirby. :) You might want to add to the instructions where you'll find the entry in the AdminCP, as I was baffled for ages before I scrolled down and saw your above post! ;) Good job using the same database fields as the previous version... It picked up all my old files. :)

sorry, i'm lost. Where does this link appear?

Maintenace section in the admin cp. Where do you the db backup and the queries. ;)

of course, thanks very much

Am I doing something wrong, or does this not support full paths for the filename?

(ie, /index.php is my Portal, but other index.php's aren't, so I need to specify.)

noob question, what does WOL mean? (who's online? can't thing of anything else)

That's the one.

The 3.0.X version didn't so if this is a port I'd assume this one doesn't either.

YAY! Been looking for something like this! [INSTALL]
EDIT: One more thing, can this be made to accept something like "userpage.php?do=list"? Show this as "Viewing Userpage List" but show "userpage.php?do=edit" as "Editing Userpage" and all else with userpage.php as Viewing Userpage?

Not as far as I'm aware, I think you can only use the physical file name.

Then how does vB do it? I thought vB had something with threads that had multiple instances of the same file. Can this be replicated?

I just tried adding userpage.php to this and it still shows up as an Unknown Location. Any ideas why that might be happening? ;)

Well, I added just userpage.php and the location "Viewing Userpage" which works. However, "userpage.php?do=edit" -> Editing Userpage does not work.

I also just added userpage.php. Can you pm me your EXACT setting for that?

Have it working. Nice work. And yeah, it had my old locations from before, which is great!

Nothing appears in Maintenace section, using RC3.

Works after editing cpnav_customonline_b3.xml.
But Links are not shown as links. Any support?

Documentation Issue ;)
I'll update this as soon as possible.
If it's not up to date until monday, please bump the Thread.

How would we add a link (for chat.php) like this?

http://www.yoursite.com/forums/chat/chat.php

In RC3:

Needs to be:

Or the link will not show in the Maintenance group. (In the cpnav_customonline_b3.xml file.)

does this work on rc3?

Yeah... just have to fix the link. (In my above post.)

Like the hack, wish it had portal support i/e index and custom pages. Will keep it for my galleries.

is there a way to make it so the link showing the page they're on is an active link so people can click on it, or a page description that links to the page on the wol box like the thread description links?

Updated.
This is a fully phrased Product now.

Little DB-Problem in RC3:
There is no column for "showlink" in the table.
