Guests show up as 'Guest' in the forumhome whois online list - vBulletin 2.2.6 - Jake's third hack. wOOp! :D

About: This hack will list all guests as 'Guest' on your forumhome whois online list.

Indications: forums needing the appearance of more traffic. :p

Directions: one small file mod and one small template mod. see attached file.

Demo: my site @ http://www.macsubculture.com/

Nice.

very nice hack I was about to realse mine, but oh well..

there is a bug in urs.. I had 3 Active users, and those were my 3 members and it showed a Guest in the online.. even after my 3 members that were online!

I think I should realse the one I was gonna realse.. :cheeky:

The click 'Guest' should be linked to the register page.

you had zero guests but the list showed one? that means ' ' is less than 0 ??? try changing $guestcount = ' '; to $guestcount = 0; ... unless 0 is less than 0 in php :confused:

please let me know if that works. i will test it as soon as i get a chance. if it doesn't work i can fix it by adding an if statement to check for $numberguest==0, but that's just more code to process. ;)

the links for 'Guest' are the same as on the online.php page. i did this on purpose. you can change this by creating a new template called forumhome_loggedinguest with the same contents as forumhome_loggedinuser except you change the link to go to the register page. then in your index.php file...

change:
eval("\$activeguests .= \", ".gettemplate('forumhome_loggedinuser')."\";") ;

to:
eval("\$activeguests .= \", ".gettemplate('forumhome_loggedinguest')."\";" );

that should work

just for your sake I won't realse my version, its kinda smililar but urs have one bitty problem.. and if you want me to I can realse it in this same thread, with that problem fixed!

for my sake? you can release yours if you want, that's fine. that bug is fixed though.

nice hack. I doubt i'll use it though since it clogs up whos online hehe but nethertheless, good hack =)

i found and corrected another oversight. when there are only guests on the forums the whois online list starts with a comma. i have fixed this and updated the download file in the first post. the change is in the additional code in forum/index.php
