Show useronline on memberlist

A hack which shows if the user is online or not within a column on the memberlist. Pretty simple.

Hack suggested by Ifrani.

I had hoped to just add to the original SQL query to make this hack work, obviously this didn't seem possible with the errors that people have been having with sessions.

Redocumented adding an extra query.

I believe his twist is that instead of putting the indicator in a separate column in the middle, he puts it next to the person name, all the way on the left (and not in a new column). I like it better Firefly's way, and that's how I did it, too.

Gotcha, no my question is I did my online offline like this site... how can I get it to show the icon and not the text next to the users name?

I like the way this is done here...on this page.
How can I make this work like this page to the left with
"Online or Offline" showing under the username?
Thanks in advance.

Maybe I should have been more specific....
Firefly, how did you make yours like that on the left?
Great job btw and looks really cool.
What script I need?

That's a simple matter of editing the postbit template and relocating this: $onlinestatus. Here, it's above this line: Registered: $post[joindate].

Basically... In the postbit template:
Find:

	$post[avatar]<p>
	<smallfont>Registered: $post[joindate]<br>

Change to:

	$post[avatar]<p>
	$onlinestatus<br>
	<smallfont>Registered: $post[joindate]<br>

Find:

<td><smallfont>$onlinestatus

Change to:

<td><smallfont>

Thanks man, I appreciate it!
Now if I could only make it glow online...lol

[JJR512]

I think you need to change the postbit_online template to something like:
<smallfont><table style="filter:glow(color=#C4C400, strength=2)">Online</table></smallfont>

...and the postbit_offline template to something like
<smallfont><table>Offline</table></smallfont>

The glow style was copied from the page source here, but I'm guessing as to the exact formatting of the template. You may need to remove the <br> from after the $onlinestatus that you relocated per my earlier directions.
