Hi,

I had some non-vBulletin pages integrated to the vb database and i wanted to show the users viewing those pages in Online Users so i used this piece of code at the top of the non-vBulletin pages:

PHP Code:
<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'adv_index');
define('VBA_PORTAL', true);
define('VBA_SCRIPT', 'CMPS');

$forumpath = 'yourforumpath';

//example = '/home/msxorg/public_html/forum'

chdir($forumpath);

$phrasegroups = array();
$globaltemplates = array();
$actiontemplates = array();
$specialtemplates = array();

require_once('./includes/vba_cmps_include_template.php');
require_once('./global.php');

exec_shut_down();
?>
You can remove the lines related to vBadvanced if you don't have it installed.

More information can be found here:

How to create your own vBulletin-powered page! (uses vB templates)


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's say you have a page nothing to do with vBulletin & vBulletin database (wordpress pages, external html pages, even pages of your other domains etc...) and you still want to show the page viewers in Online Users of vBulletin.


Step - 1

Create a page called 'extra_online_users.php'.

Copy these lines in it:
PHP Code:
<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);

$forumpath = 'yourforumpath';
//example = '/home/msxorg/public_html/forum'

chdir($forumpath);

$phrasegroups = array();
$globaltemplates = array();
$actiontemplates = array();
$specialtemplates = array();

require_once('./global.php');


exec_shut_down();
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html dir="ltr" lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Extra Online Users</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<meta name="content-language" content="en" />
</head>
<body style="margin: 0px">
<!-- anything can be put here. a little image, some text, etc... or you may keep it like this -->
</body>
</html>
Save and upload this page to your domain or forum root.

Step - 2

Open your non-vbulletin page and copy these lines to the very bottom of your page:
(Note: Before </body>)

HTML Code:
<iframe src="http://www.yourdomain.com/extra_online_users.php" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" width="0" height="0"></iframe>
Now, anybody visits your non-vbulletin page will be displayed at "Online Users".

But it will show their location as "Unknown Location". We can fix this of course.

Step - 3

Go to your AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Plugin Manager > Add new Plugin

Product: vBulletin
Hook Location: online_location_process
Title: Extra Online Users Process
Execution Order: 5

Code:
PHP Code:
if ($filename == 'extra_online_users.php')
{
    $userinfo['activity'] = 'extra_online_users';
} 
Save.

Go to your AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Plugin Manager > Add new Plugin

Product: vBulletin
Hook Location: online_location_unknown
Title: Extra Online Users Unknown
Execution Order: 5

Code:
PHP Code:
if ($userinfo['activity'] == 'extra_online_users')
{
    $handled = true;
    $userinfo['action'] = 'Viewing -your custom page title comes here-';
    $userinfo['where'] = '<a href="http://-your custom page url comes here-">-your custom page title-</a>';
} 
Save.

If you want to apply this tutorial for more than one page, just create another instance of "extra_online_users.php" and name it like "extra_online_users2.php".

Don't forget to add the lines to the plugins and make the name changes.

Demo and screenshots:
Messenger Blog
(a wordpress blog - this image at the footer is called by iframe 'extra_online_users.php')

I created the same page without using vbadvanced but I was still able to get the error. See here:

Try recreating the plugins at Step 3.

I just wanted to say thanks for this article, I have added this to my site so a non-VB page shows up on who's on-line. The other articles I found were a bit out of date.

Just to clarify (as it confused me a bit to start with) to get a non-VB page to show on your on-line list, do the very first step as shown (cut and paste that code into the top of your file), but remove the VBA_ bits if you don't have VB Advance plugged in. In that case also remove the require_once('./includes/vba_cmps_include_template.php'); line too.

Then jump to step 3 to do the plugin bits, changing the code as required so it matches your filename.

Ideally you need to do this with two PC's running so you can log into the on-line list as a guest, to see yourself on the page. Otherwise when you access your non-VB page (remember to refresh it!) then go to who's on-line, it will show you as browsing who's on-line.

Anyway thanks again to the OP and other people who posted here.

PS. Working for me on 3.8.4
