Allow Specified Number of Guests on Forum · **Released**: 09-27-2003

What does this hack do?

This hack allows you to specify how many guests you want to allow to browse your forums simultaneously. If the number of guests is more than the amount you specified, then the new guests will receive an error message stating that there are too many guests browsing the forums. The new guests will be able to browse the forums again when some of the other guests have left.

This hack can drastically reduce your server load, allowing only members to completely enjoy the freedom of being able to browse the forums without having any messages saying there are too many members online

Enjoy!

Thanks

I haven't tested this yet, but try the following:

open global.php and before // check to see if there are too many guests online
add

PHP Code:


			
if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==0 AND $loadlimit > 30)

{

    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate('error_toomanyguests')."\");");

    exit;

}

It will display the error_toomanyguests template when a guest visits with server load at more than 30; you can simply change the template here, and then create your own if you want a different message

hey gary, my board says that 89 guests are still active. Is that just because they are at my homepage? How can I make it so the number is true to the number of guest viewing my board? Make sense?

Gary King · #24 10-21-2003, 11:35 PM

That would require a different hack.

hey gary, i thought I got this working, but now it doesn't at all. I reinstalled the hack, did the changes posted in this thread and it just doesn't work. I have 142 guests online, I set the limit to 2 and I logout and can still browse the forums. thanks for your help!

Did it work before the update?

dethfire · #27 11-01-2003, 01:09 AM

Yeah, but obviously I had the problem before, but it more-or-less worked.

What do you mean by "but it more-or-less worked"?
Can I have the URL to your forums?

dethfire · #29 11-01-2003, 02:03 AM

It did work, except for the minor problem mentioned above a week or two ago.
