General Info
This hack was requested to be available on Vbulletin 3. Being bored, I figured I would take the task in hand and complete it, to be better than it ever was before.
The original designer of the hack (on Vbulletin 2) is the well known Chen Avinadav, which being the great coder that he is, I dont particularly agree with his methods in this case, which he used a an excess query to select data from a template and loop through. This uses the built in datastore of vb3, therefore using No extra queries.
Therefore this hack is Completely original, in every way. I have used a different method, for accomplishing this, and the control panel I have created is intuitive and utlilizes a great many of vbulletins built in controls and phrases. Looking at the code itself on the admin panel alone you will see I didnt just throw this together and slap it on the site. Total creation time was around 4 hours, the code itself not being the main part, just mainly working out issues with the control panel etc..
Features
My version which is completely new, allows you to add the filename for the who's online along with the location name, and URL Title of the link.
The control panel which was the longest part, is pretty concise in how it works considering what I did to it. Provides a good bit of error checking to keep from accidentally doing stuff you didn't intend to do.
Also should note, the deletion part of the script uses JavaScript to confirm whether or not you wish to delete the selected Location.
I hope this gets a lot of installs, being as that my other 2 hacks/bug fixes were really just something I did in a few minutes and didn't put a great deal of effort into, judging by the fact I didnt have to "edit" any vbulletin files, to do what I wanted.
This is really my first release on this site, that I can say I believe is unique in its effort, and shows some insight on things for the newer coders out there. I have put a great deal of effort into the setup of everything as well as the readme file to be concise and as easy to read and understand as possible.
Hopefully hack of the month, lol.. j/k
Installation
I have provided an readme file inside of the zip, with information on how to install the hack, and what needs to be done to do so. Its a fairly easy installation, as you only have to add things.
