Show Spiders Online on ForumHome

This is a port of my 3.0.x modification. It shows, on your forumhome page, any spiders that are present (ones that show as a spider on your who's online page)

NOTE: If you are using a portal that shows who's online, this mod will mess up your portal. As of this date, I do not know of any working portals for 3.5 and I do not have the code to fix portals.

Please understand what this mod does before you start crying that it doesn't work. This mod will show any spiders who show up as a spider on who's online as a spider on the forumhome page. It will NOT show a spider who shows up as a guest on who's online as a spider. It does not add additional spiders to the list either.

PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL THIS IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ADJUST YOUR OWN PORTAL TEMPLATES SO THAT THE PHRASE DOES NOT CONTAIN AN ERROR.

When I get the edits for vbadvanced, I'll post back - so others can have it too.

Working on vbadvanced:

Edit 1: Go to adv_portal_onlineusers
Find:

PHP Code:

 <phrase 1="$numberregistered" 2="$numberguest">$vbphrase[x_members_and_y_guests] 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

 <phrase 1="$numberregistered" 2="$numberguest" 3="$numberspiders">$vbphrase[x_members_and_y_guests] 


That's the first part of it - have to look at second part.

Yep works fine. Thanks for that. I hope you'll post up the second part real soon...

[davidw]

It may be a day or two, I'm getting backlogged with computer systems. I've looked at some of the templates and php files, but have to put this on hold for now.

[davidw]

Ok, just started back on this and I got the spiders to show up - but not the correct amount - should be an hour or two, give or take depending on what happens at work

[davidw]

Here's what I've got so far (trying to figure out how to get spiders recognized while my mind is concertrating on other things).

Thanks to Amy for her code that I borrowed on this current topic.

Onlineusers.php

Find:

PHP Code:

     if ($db->num_rows($getonline)) 


Add Above:

PHP Code:

       $numberspiders = 0;
    $numberguest = 0; 


Find:

PHP Code:

        $totalonline = $numberregistered + $numberguest; 


Replace With:

PHP Code:

        $numberguest = $numberguest - $numberspiders;
    $totalonline = $numberregistered + $numberguest + $numberspiders; 


Find:

PHP Code:

        $numberregistered = vb_number_format($numberregistered);
    $numberguest = vb_number_format($numberguest); 


Add After:

PHP Code:

        $numberspiders = vb_number_format($numberspiders);

You're putting together exactly the fix I need christianb, I figured out the first part before coming here to look through the thread hoping someone would have something down...it took me a few minutes to find that the onlineusers.php file resides in the modules directory...keep it comin!
