Completely hide Administrator (User ID #1) from who's online

[Tungsten]

There was an older hack that did this for previous versions of VBulletin but the code in index.php has changed some with subsequent releases, outdating the hack in the process.

What I want to do is simple, although I am not sure how to make it happen.


I want the Administrator account (User ID #1) to be hidden completely from the who's online screens regardless of what user account is used to view them. Moderators, Super Moderators... it doesn't matter. I want no one to see what the Admin account is logged in.

Any suggestions on how I can accomplish this?

Unless you have given them permissions to see Invisible users, they cant...

I'd also like this... I'd like the mods to see the inv. users except ADMINS

First try at this - the following has worked for me

Modify this section in online.php3

PHP Code:

  if ($userinfo) {
    while ( list($key,$val)=each($userinfo) ) {
     if (!$val[invisible]) {
      $onlinebits .= show($val);
      $numbervisible++;
     }
    }
  } 


Change to the following

PHP Code:

  if ($userinfo) {
    while ( list($key,$val)=each($userinfo) ) {
     if ($val['userid']!=1) {
     if (!$val[invisible]) {
      $onlinebits .= show($val);
      $numbervisible++;
      }
     }
    }
  } 


As I said, it appears to be working for me atm.
