Forum Home Enhancements - Fake Community Statistics

Due to the recent announcement of Internet Brands telling they are suing XenForo, I decided to immediately stop updating my vBulletin modifications, because I am not supporting this action.

I just found out something, this thing doesn't update VBadvanced community statistic, I make VBadvanced to be my home page and well. You know the rest.

The only stats updated is the one at the bottom of Forum Home.

As stated many times, this hack will not work with third party hacks. I personally tried to make the fake numbers work with vBadvanced but I've posted it above about how bad it is because vBadvance doesn't have hooks for me to mess with the numbers and so editing value there will require sql queries (and we are NOT doing that).

This hack, as stated in the first post / release, will NOT support other hacks like vBadvanced or whatever you may have running.

Maybe you have another plugin installed that modifies the existing variables already? All this plugin does is take the $variable from vbulletin and adds the value you've added in the admincp.

I also had the same issue with members online all i did was fill out this part in the options and it worked "Amount of additional (fake) invisible user"

Yep, also make sure you have set the correct values, click the admin help if you have any doubts, and of course make sure you have did the appropiate template edits from the first post.

I will look into this for a future release, but this is NOT a promise. (Fake users also appearing at online.php). Nice idea If you know how to do this feel free to PrivMsg me the details and I will update the mod and test/include it.

I can't reproduce this. Make sure you've went to the right URL as mentioned in that one post in this thread. (first post links to it)

That kind of looks like you're trying to install the adminhelp as product.

Please read the first post at least .. and then all the other comments where we mention it multiple times. If you know how to do it send me a privmsg with the instructions and I will update the mod and test/include it.

The next release will have something to control this

That's because they are 'fake' users. You should have to add the html to the input field like <b>John Doe</b>,UserC,<em>UserX</em> maybe that renders.
