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

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

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
