Online users on another page
 

I use joomla, obviously my sites in my signature : but I was wondering this.

Basically what I want it to do, is have vbulletin treat people that are on the main part of the site as "guests" - so it counts EVERYONE online. Is there a way that can be done?

You would have to set it up so when people are on the other part of the site, they still get a session and then they will be counted. You will have to include global.php in order to do that (maybe just init.php, you can test it and see).

so have it call to the global or init file of the forums and that may count them as guests?

Add the global or init file to the non-vbulletin pages so that they get seen as guests there.

LoL I wish I could just look in your brain sometimes. You always help me...

...But I am kinda lost when you explain it like that. If yer familiar with joomla, where and how exactly do I do that?

I am not familiar with joomla at all so I really can't help with that. I just know that you get a session set for you if that file is included and if you have a session set, then you are either a guest or a logged in user.

Take any standard page - any non-vb page...

What kinda steps do you take to have it read any visitors as guests. I can probably figure it out if I know what to add where...

You would add the file to the php page:
Your path may be different though since that is taken straight out of a vb page.

Worked for a bit and crashed. What would the case be if all I'm doing is adding that particular line into the index/php page?

I don't know joomla, so I really have no idea. I guess you can check your error_logs and see what is going on. I'm not really sure what 'crashed' means either - it can mean so many different things to different people.
