Improved Who's Online Display

This hack is pretty straightforward: it provides more detail on the Who's Online? page. Here are some examples:

• Things like "Editing Buddy List" or "Editing Forum Options" are not accompanied by links. "Buddy List" links to the page to edit your own Buddy List, and so on with "Forum Options, "Ignore List," and a few others similar to that.
  
• Instead of "Sending Email to Another Forum User" or "Viewing the Profile of a Forum Member," you'll be told which user it is in both cases, and their username will be a link to their profile.
  
• Most significantly, IMO: no more vague "Sending Private Message" or "Reading Private Message" messages. Now you have the following:
  -- Reading a Private Message
  -- Reading a Private Message From You
  -- Replying to a Private Message
  -- Replying to Your Private Message
  -- Sending a Private Message
  -- Sending a Private Message to You
  
  As you can see, this is much more useful, yet it still protects the basic privacy of each member. Cool, eh?
  
• "Viewing the Results of a Poll" now links you to the results of that poll, and the word "Post" in "Editing Post" is a link to the post being edited.
  
• The word "Attachment in "Viewing Attachmet in Thread Blah Blah Blah" is now a link to the specific attachment being viewed.

That's it, basically. I'm using it on my site: http://www.movieforums.net/online.php

It is *HIGHLY* recommended that you use vBHacker to install this hack, as it involves 14 code edits in one file (online.php)...automating that can save you a lot of time. Attached is an archive containing a vBHacker installation file, as well as a plain text instruction file. Enjoy.

Ok, you can fix the error by replacing this:

PHP Code:

global $thread, $post, $forum, $event, $gotforum, $hideprivateforums, $bbuserinfo, $timeformat, $enableemail, $enablepms, $bbtitle, $usergroupdef, $numberguests; 


with this:

PHP Code:

global $DB_site, $thread, $post, $forum, $event, $gotforum, $hideprivateforums, $bbuserinfo, $timeformat, $enableemail, $enablepms, $bbtitle, $usergroupdef, $numberguests; 


Warlord: are you sure you replaced all the bits of code?

great hack, i think it's very usefull!
but, may be you can add features for Store(lesane hack)?
for example: Buying "Custom avatar" etc.......

I don't know enough about his hack to do that offhand...working on a few other things I should probably focus on, too. But I don't think adding a few things like that by hand should be too hard.

vBHacker couldn't find any of those parts of code to change.....

That's odd. Can you send me your online.php file?

Hi TWTCommish
thanx for a nice hack
is it possible to remove the private calender show up, on "whois online"?
cuz when our members ad some "private" events other member who are on the "whoisonline" are able to see the subject of the events
thanx

[TWTCommish]

I didn't add anything to the hack to allow people to view private events, so if vB doesn't display them by default, it should be okay.

Hi
it display the subject of the private events, on whois online when user adds a private event.

[TWTCommish]

Does vB do that standard? I think it must...because I certainly didn't add that functionality in.
