Who's online on non-vB page (with usernames)

LAST UPDATED: 3.24.01 10:40 PM Eastern

Hack version: 0.0.2

Changes since last version: New option to display either usernames or a total number of registered members.

For version: 2.0.0 beta 3 (possibly beta 1 and beta 2 also, but it's untested on those versions).

Files needed: online.php (see zip file attached below).

Files to edit: Possibly online.php (see instructions below).

Possible file locations: Anywhere, as long as the relative path to config.php is correct (see instructions below).

Instructions
1] Download the zip file online002.zip below. It has online.php in it; unzip this file to a location on your hard drive.
2] Open online.php in Notepad (Windows) or Simpletext (Mac) or another ASCII text editor (EditPlus, UltraEdit, TextPad, etc. Dreamweaver, FrontPage, and other HTML editors are not ASCII text editors and will in all likelyhood screw the file up.)
3] Check the path to config.php in the $path variable (in the CONFIG section). Figure out where you're gonna put the file online.php, and then edit the path accordingly. For example, if you put it in your document root (e.g. yoursite.com/) and your board files are in a directory called forum, your path is "forum/admin" (no quotes, no trailing slash).
4] If you want usernames of registered members displayed, then leave the $usernames option alone. If you want a number instead of a list of names, set this to "off" (no quotes).
5] Edit the second-to-last line (the "echo" line). Change it to say what you want. The list of registered members is $regmemberson and the number of guests is $guestson - you can use these anywhere in that line.
6] Save the file and upload it your server.
7] You can include it on another page one of two basic ways:
First, by a PHP include:

<? include("online.php"); ?>

The file that you are going to be including online.php in must then have a .php, .php3, .phtml or other extension that makes your web server recognize it as a file to be parsed as PHP.
Secondly, by an SSI include:

<!--#include file="online.php"-->

The file that you are going to be including online.php in must then have a .shtml, .shtm or other extension that makes your web server recognize it as a file to be server-parsed.

Instructions are also included in the zip file (online002.txt) and brief notes are in the online.php file itself.

FEEDBACK WANTED! Likes/dislikes/modification requests all gladly accepted!

this hack looks interesting!

Just to clarify; we can add Tubedogs 2 line code onto any number of our non vB pages so that all the users browsing the forum and the tagged pages will be shown in total on another non-vBpage!

Does that sound right?
