Who's Online Additions

I've got a few custom pages floating around my forum, and I'd like to have them appear properly in the Who's Online (online.php) list.

Editing the functions_online.php is too easy, I'd much rather do it the proper way and use plugins (plus my edits won't be deleted the moment a vBulletin update overwrites the file).

I've done very little work with plugins, but I'm quite confident with php. How would I add custom actions using plugins for the Who's Online list?

Go back to looking at the fuctions_online.php (construct_online_bit function) and in the big case statement (default handler) you will ind the following "hook":

PHP Code:


		
			
($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('online_location_unknown')) ? eval($hook) : false;

If I'm not mistaken you could create a plugin at that location to insert additional criteria for your own custom pages.

I've tried that, but with each hook I received a php error stating that the "case" was unexpected.

Ok. Trying to get a handle on how you are coding it.

Here's the default case where the hook sits...

PHP Code:


		
			
default:

  $handled = false;

  ($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('online_location_unknown')) ? eval($hook) : false;

I take it by your reply (and the error) that you are simply adding a 'case' in your plugin, like this:-

PHP Code:


		
			
case 'something':

// etc...

So logically this would be interpreted like this:-

PHP Code:


		
			
default:

  $handled = false;

  case 'something':

    // etc...

This would be incorrect syntax, and yes, your custom case would not be expected at that location. I think to cure that you would need to expand the plugin code to a full switch statement, or use an if...then construct.

Hows that looking, or have I missed something?

Yep that's exactly what I was doing.

I've also tried a number of if statements too, none of which did anything (literally ;))

Ok,

How about this.

Hook location: online_location_process

Code:

if ($filename == 'yourfile.php')

{

        $userinfo['activity'] = 'yourtitle';

}

and

Hook location: online_location_unknown

Code:

if ($userinfo['activity'] == 'yourtitle')

{

        $userinfo['action'] = 'Viewing Your Page'; 

        $userinfo['where'] = '<a href="./yourfile.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . '">Your Page</a>'; 

        $handled = true;

}

Might need a little tinkering with the bits in red, but I think that should work.
