Add:

PHP Code:

AND session.location LIKE '%your_script_name.php%' 


Thank you Lynne

How do I add more than one file?

Also, will this work on existing vBulletin files? Let's say I want to add it to Social Groups.

The code in this tutorial is for a single page. So, if you want it on Social Groups, you add the code to that page and then add that line to the query with the social groups php page in there.

I tryed to add it on vb 3.8 beta2, but it don't work. it don't show any numbers, look at the screenshot. sorry for my bad english

here is my code from my php file

<?php

$specialtemplates = array(
	'maxloggedin',

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array(
	'Test',
	'forumhome_loggedinuser',
);

This was written to be used in conjunction with How to create your own vBulletin-powered page! (uses vB templates) or [How-To] vBulletin API Basics: Creating Custom Pages & Misc. You need to eval/fetch your templates after the code like in those articles. This article is NOT stand alone code. You MUST use it with an already working vb powered page.

[eh9 daddy]

i have an working vbulletin powered page. in this page i use for example the vbulletin login, recent forum threads, latest album pictures and so on. everything works in this page, only who's online works not.

[Lynne]

Paste these lines into the main part of your page.

You pasted it at the end of your script. You need to put it before you eval your templates - right under "START MAIN SCRIPT", before the $navbits stuff.

[eh9 daddy]

thanks alot, this was the error

Question;

I have the ability to log in users on all my non-VB pages. If a user comes on a non-VB page, it'll fetch their cookies and automatically log them in if they are a member who selected the Remember Me option. Otherwise it'll act as if they are a Guest user.

I don't want to display the Currently Active Users on my non-VB pages, but I'd like to know if there are users on my non-VB pages by looking at the Currently Active Users on the forumhome.

Do all I need to add to do this then is this?

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
chdir ('/path/to/your/forums');
require_once('./global.php');
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_bigthree.php');

That way Ill know how many vBulletin members are on at a certain time throughout my entire website, not just the forums? (Since I have that code in the header.php file that all non-VB pages use)

[edit]
I tried this out but it's not recognizing users on my site's index.php (which uses the header.php file I'm putting the code into.

Here are the first lines that the header.php file is using to try and get this working:

<?php
	//vBulletin Member Recognition
	$curdir = getcwd ();
	chdir('forums/');
	require_once('forums/global.php');
	require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_bigthree.php'); //Fetch current active users?
	chdir ($curdir);
