The database user/pw are correct.

I think you may have to change something in the php file for your setup

The table prefix is needed for some other queries to.
I'll change to mod so it will take on the prefix as a setting for all tables

quick fix for you

open mod_vbonlineusers.php

look for

PHP Code:

$my_posts = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) as PTOTALFOUND from post"); 
$my_threads = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) as TTOTALFOUND from thread"); 
$my_users = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) as UTOTALFOUND from user"); 


change to

PHP Code:

$my_posts = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) as PTOTALFOUND from vb3_post"); 
$my_threads = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) as TTOTALFOUND from vb3_thread"); 
$my_users = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) as UTOTALFOUND from $VB3_USERS_TABLE"); 


Save and upload

That should help you out till I make the update

Hello,

First thanks for this great hack :banana:

However I have a little problem. I have my website under Joomla on a server A and my forum under Vb on a server B. Is there a way to use your hack with that configuration or joomla and vb have to be on the same server ?

Thanks you for your answer

If your mysql server vb is setup to accept remote connections and the host from joomla is in the "allowed" IP it should work.

Don't forget to update to the latest version.

It's a bit easier to work with
