Users online question

[DarkWarriorXII]

First off I'll say that I'm not the greatest at PHP and all that. Anyway, I was wondering how the forum home gets the current users online list to show up, and say how many users/guests are currently online? I ask this because I have a custom vB page in the same directory as my forum and I want to get that list of online users and the number of online people to show up (Currently Active Users:...), but I can't figure out how to do it. Any help would be appreciated.

Open index.php, search for // ### LOGGED IN USERS #################################################
and then take a look at the Code block below, that should get you the idea of how to do it.

[DarkWarriorXII]

Sorry but I can't figure it out. I'm not sure what to use, what not to use, how I should add it to my page, etc.

[Andreas]

It's mainly just a copy & paste job ...

[DarkWarriorXII]

So basically just copy everything from:

// ### LOGGED IN USERS #################################################

to right before

// ### GET FORUMS & MODERATOR iCACHES ########################

and paste all of that into where I want the list to be displayed?

[Andreas]

Yep. Then you can use $activeusers, $numberguests, $numberregistered, $numberinvisible, $totalonline, $recordusers, $recorddate, $recordtime.
Make sure that you have cached maxloggedin, otherweise you will corrupt this data.

PHP Code:

$specialtemplates = array('maxloggedin'); 


Or leave out the maxlogedin part completely.

Well I'm confused. :disappointed: Here's my file as of right now:

The 'online' template is just $activeusers because I have no idea.
