Add Who's Online locations from Admin CP

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.

ok, I have a question~ I was curious, how can I make it (modify this hack) so that lets say a user is at /chatmain.php? -which is a session hash I believe, how can I make this hack recognzie such a thing IE any url past the &s and strip it. SO that way, if I put "chatmain.php" as the site I'm trying to remove "Unknown Location" from, it will find chatmain.php&s=blahblahblah and remove the &s and everything past it?

Just curious, this has been bothering me for quite some time...

I'm also using vBPortal and the trouble I'm having is that I can get /download.php to work but it will not go to the actual location

/download.php?op=viewdownloaddetails&lid=2&ttitle=D iettalk.com_screensaver_1024x7 68

but it will only show /download.php

fyi.. I get the same thing with the "glossary".. it will only show glossary.php instead of the full location... so I doubt it's a "vBPortal" issue.

[diettalk]

I figured out the issue with locations in "glossary.php" and for vBPortal's sections.php, links.php, ect.

Filename: sections.php

Description: Viewing <a href="$userinfo[location]">Articles</a>

"modules" for vBPortal are still not working though and I would like to replace "Article" with a variable for the page title ($title does not work).

a problem I'm having is that I want it to go into a child directory, I'd like that to work.

right now I have www.warpstorm.com/forums/

and want it to link to the main page (www.warpstorm.com) and our Oracle (www.warpstorm.com/oracle/index.php)

is it ever possible to include child forums?

If you have installed this hack.. just use...

filename: links.php

Description:
Viewing <a href="$userinfo[location]">Web Links</a>

But anything with a module, will not work at the moment.

can you elaborate on that, Im also using vbportal and would like to get the links.php and downloads.php to be found. I tried /links.php but it still is seen as an unknown location.

I also tried including the global.php in links.php but Im getting "function stripslashes cant be redefined".

mmh, maybe Im just too stupid

Good hack!
I installed it!

[VirtueTech]

Is there anyway to get it to recognize any sub directories of a domain?

So that no matter what sub directory under www.paintballcity.com (example: www.paintballcity.com/1/ and www.paintballcity.com/2/) it still says "Paintball City Homepage"?

Thanks.

Hey Chen, do you know when you're going to make this hack golden?
