How to display currently online users on any normal PHP page
 
Hey all.

How can I produce a list of users that are currently online in the forum. I want to then print these out on a normal PHP page that is not part of the vbulletin software. Each name would link to the users profile.

I expect this will need to use javascript although I would prefer to use php to do this so that it is server side processed and prints out static html code.

Any thoughts or help would be great :)

Thanks,
David

As stated before in many other threads, you need to replicate what vBulletin does to do this in index.php.

Think I just replied to you in another thread asking if you could link to one of these other posts or provide more detail as based on your reply I have no idea what you are on about :)

Thanks :)

I am trying to find those threads. Perhaps you can shed a little more light? I wouldn't be here asking if I knew how to do it. :)

Thank you for your help, I need a little more direction though. Thanks.

Open up the index.php page. Find and copy the whole section under "// ### LOGGED IN USERS ###" You may have to include a couple of the files listed right below where it says "// ### REQUIRE BACK-END ###"

Fantastic. Thank you. A much more helpful reply. Think I can sort this now. :)

Having some trouble. The page I want to show the info on is in the root while my forum is in a folder called /forum/ and I get this error

Warning: main(/home/public_html/includes/init.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/public_html/forum/global.php on line 20

I edited global.php to include the right path but that then breaks the forum.

Any thoughts on how to load it with the right base path being used etc?

Ok. Got a little further by using



Code:
// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
chdir("./forum");
require_once("./global.php");
require_once("./includes/functions_bigthree.php");
require_once("./includes/functions_forumlist.php");
chdir("../");



But now I get
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/public_html/forum/includes/functions.php on line 1303

Give up. can't get this to work. :(

Wouldn't this work?
PHP Code:
// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./forum/global.php');
require_once(DIR . '/forum/includes/functions_bigthree.php');
require_once(DIR . '/forum/includes/functions_forumlist.php');

// #######################################################################

Get rid of the second chdir.
PHP Code:
// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
chdir("./forum");
require_once('./global.php');
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_bigthree.php');
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_forumlist.php');

Just FYI so you know... None of these worked. I have made a custom SQL call instead

Opserty 08-06-2008 12:41 PM
Yeah, all you really need is the query SQL. The rest you can create yourself if you have knowledge of PHP.

Very strange. I copied the code to my page outside the vb forums directory and it works just fine.
