This hack was requested on vBulletin.com.

It lets you add possible locations to Who's Online, directly from the Admin CP.
This is good if you are using external hacks, that use vBulletin's system. You probably know that users browsing these external files have Unknown Location (or Main Index for non-admin viewers) next to them.

With this hack, you can easily add a new custom location with ease!
It's also designed in a way that won't let you overwrite existing locations. ('dummy protection' as I like to call it

)

The locations you add are not stored in their own table, because I really felt that would be waste of space and resource.
Instead, I store the locations in the template table, in one special template dedicated to this data.
It was a lot harder to do it this way, btw.

Please let me know if you find any bugs, or if this script doesn't work with files in child folders (this is my main concern).
This can be easily remove (just undo changes to online.php), so please don't fear to try it out!

A nice screen shot is in my next post.

Chen,

Oh? Ok :-) Hmmm... are you considering updating it to reflect Freddie's wishes?
In the meantime, I will take also take a look at it to see how I can improve it to support threadinfo.

thanks though for another wonderfull hack!

Dang, I can't get this to work. I installed it without a hitch, but the new locations ain't showing up in the Who's Online page. Bummer...I REALLY needed this hack, too...it's a fabulous idea. Anything I can do to try and get this sucker working?

Yeah, same problem I'm having. Dang...I REALLY wanna use this, man.

Is file.php requiring vBulletin's global.php?

TWTCommish · #**107** 01-15-2002, 01:10 PM

My two files are...glossary.php and shoutbox.php -- both using this line:

require("./global.php");

Still no go, though.

TWTCommish · #**108** 01-22-2002, 12:31 PM

Any idea what's wrong? I'm stumped -- and I've LOVE to get this working...easily one of the most useful hacks imaginable for me.

djr and DroppedAtBirth, you are both talking about something freddie had said in one of the early pages in this thread:

Unfortunately this is not possible yet with this hack.

You must edit online.php directly and do it per page to achieve what you're looking for.

Man, I'm going batty. I want for this hack to work so very badly.

It'd be beyond useful to me.
