What this hack does?
This hack adds members to your online list from your already registered users.

How will I arrange the total users?
Admin Control Panel > Fake Users > Add Member > You can increase or decrease the number.

What should I do for the Guest Number?
Admin Control Panel > Fake Users > Visitors> You can increase or decrease the number.

Will that work with vbAdvanced?
Yes onlineusers.php copy /forum/modules/

There is a little problem. The "overall active users count" doesn't change.
Problem Fixed.

All my members are blue, but this hack is giving them a green default color.
Problem Fixed.

Can you make it so that this hack uses the setting already in place for various user groups?
Problem Fixed.

Thanks

thanks msalman on the update
but what does the change you made will do?

I have added some comments on page 3 in this thread

This mod will be excellent if improved and made below suggestions:
- Selected members should be shown in their profiles, postbits and who's online page including online sign (.
- (Last Activity time/date) in profile & pages that have last activity must be faked too to show the member presence.
- It should add members to "People logged in the past 24 hours"
- Not change members with every view of the forumhome but fake log them in for the same duration as the cookie timeout. For example drop off the who's online after 30 minutes of inactivity. If I set the fake users to 1, I'd like that same 1 person logged in for 30 minutes and seen by all members online (same 1 person), and then have it change to another member.

Above suggestions is collected from the users installed the mod including me. If above suggestions are note included, the mod will create trouble to the board owner as members will notice.

it will be excellent if these comments implemented.

it adds the following options that you requested:

- It should add members to "People logged in the past 24 hours"

I can take on this mod and work on implementing the requested features but I would need the original author's permission and stuff so that I can create a new mod thread.

[Hitterman]

I am sure he was just joking on the Update. Aton please update your hack. It will be one of the best hack ever. We all will nominate this hack .

[Hitterman]

EDIT: Wait one thing is changed. Its updating the last visited date.
But it should show them in Who's online also.

[Hitterman]

Its still useless until online status and whos online can be fixed.

the change is working and Hitterman has confirmed it. I don't think the author is available at the moment so I can't ask him. I guess i'll try to make the changes and share the updated file when I've sometime on my hand.
