Hiding Who's online from guests

[Jolten]

Anyone know how to hide the currently active users or the entire what's going on box from unregistered/guests? I've checked usergroups and can't see any specific setting for it in vb3.0.1.

Thanks

Hide Whats Going On box from guests

1 Open template: FORUMHOME

2 Find comment line:
<!-- what's going on box -->

3 Before that add:
<if condition="!$show['guest']">

4 Find comment line:
<!-- end what's going on box -->

5 After that add:
</if>

Thanks Meltdown!

Is there a way to just hide the list of ON LINE members instead of hiding the whole entire " Whats going on" box ?

For the $160.00 I paid I am very disapointed that the code writters for VB didnt include an enable / disable button in the control panel for this along with alot of other features.

Thanks

@dcpaq2
What vB version are you using?
For version 3.0.3 and up i am sure that you can control this in the Usergroup settings.

The software was written as a community. Those features are to enhance your board for your members. If you can't find a control for what you want to disable, you can easily make a template edit and achive the desired result.

You will get much more help here being nice since this is community help and secondly, once you hack your board, the support at vbulletin.com is basically gone unless you revert all your changes for testing. You're gonna need us. Be nice.

However, if you want to complain, vbulletin.com in the members section would be the place to do it, not here.

Sorry for the late reply, I was just searching through some old post I have replied to and found your reply.

Honestly I wasnt trying to be mean. I was just commenting that I was disapointed that VBulletin did not include those functions in the control panel for the money we paid them. Thats all. But also, I honestly think complaining to them would do no good anyway, they are stuck in their ways of how they do things.

Im sorry if you took my post the wrong way, but i wasnt trying to be mean and I am kinda thinking you took my post as referring to you guys here on vb.org as the coders, but I was really referring to the actual VBulletin Staff (the guys who originally wrote vb) as the coders.

This is one thing i dont like about email its too easy to misinterpret things with email.

Anyway thanks guys for the information.

Guys,

I am currently using VB version 3.5.1. So far I havent found anything in the admin cp that will allow me to hide only certain parts of the whos online section.

If its possible I would like to hide who is currently online, as well as the last registered user.

I think the rest of the feilds in whos online will be ok to show to guest and members who are not logged in.

I really dont want to hide all of whos online if i can help it. just the specific parts only if possible.

Doug
