[Mosaicvb]

I just installed this mod with vb 3.0.5 and it works great. I made some changes and I am posting what I did if you want to have an option that does not require altering the index.php.

1 : create a php file called whos.online.today.php with the following and upload to the root of the forum. :

PHP Code:

<?php
// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');

$now = TIMENOW ;
require_once('./includes/functions_misc.php');
$cutoff = vbmktime(0, 0, 0, vbdate('m', $now. false, false), vbdate('d', $now. false, false), vbdate('Y', $now. false, false));
//$cutoff = $now - 86400 ;  // Uncomment this line if you don't have vB 3.0.3 and all users are showing.
$todaysusers = $DB_site->query("SELECT userid, lastactivity, options, username, opentag, closetag
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user as user
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup as usergroup ON(user.usergroupid = usergroup.usergroupid)
WHERE lastactivity > " .$cutoff. " ORDER BY username" ); 

$totaltoday = 0;
while ($today = $DB_site->fetch_array($todaysusers))
{
    $today[visible] = 1 ;
    $totaltoday += 1;
    if ($today[options] & $_USEROPTIONS[invisible]) 
    {
        $today[visible] = 0 ;
        if (($permissions['genericpermissions'] & CANSEEHIDDEN) OR $today['userid'] == $bbuserinfo['userid'])
        {
            $today[visible] = 2 ;
        }
    }
    if ($today[visible]) 
    {
           $wrdate = vbdate($vboptions['timeformat'], $today['lastactivity']);
        $whotoday .= "<a href='member.php?u=$today[userid]' title='$wrdate' >";
        if ($today[visible] == 2) 
        {
            $whotoday .= $today['opentag'].$today[username].$today['closetag']."</a>*, ";
        }
        else 
        {
            $whotoday .= $today['opentag'].$today[username].$today['closetag']."</a>, ";
        }
    }
}
if ($whotoday)
{
    $whotoday = substr($whotoday, 0, strlen($whotoday)-2);
}

?>

2: Go to the style manager. Open the style you want to edit.
In the common template section goto the phpinclude_start box and enter :

ob_start(); 
include('whos.online.today.php');
ob_end_clean();

3: Follow your instructions for replacing the code in the Forumhome template.

Done.

Works like a charm for me. Thanks for your work. I hope I don't offend you by posting what I did.

I would like to know since I dont play in vB a lot whether anything I did would open a security hole.
