Forum Home Enhancements - Who's Online at the top!

Hey Guys,

This is a simple Hack. This adds the Who's Online at the Top (under the navbar).

The hack is too simple, because this is my first hack . I didn't made any hack for VB yet.

Template Edits:

Open the 'FORUMHOME' template, and find:

<!-- what's going on box -->

Underneath ADD:

<if condition="!$vboptions[show_bottom]">

Find:

<br />
<!-- end what's going on box -->

Above ADD:

</if>

Find:

<!-- main -->

Underneath Add:

<if condition="$vboptions[show_bottom]">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <td class="tcat" colspan="2">$vbphrase[whats_going_on]</td>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <if condition="$show['loggedinusers']">
    <!-- logged-in users -->

nevermind...

Moving the entire content of the 'What's Going On' box in the FORUMHOME template to just under $navbar achieves the same result.

[Snake]

What's the difference really if you have moved it to the top? It's not like you will earn more traffic or something.

[Greek Wizard]

I have seen this on other forums, but to me, it causes more scrolling for my users.

Something I want to eliminate as much as possible (using columns, etc) not add to.

Nice idea, and I am sure some will use it, but not really practical IMO.

Sorry.

Greek: You are right . I am a beginner. And this is my first hack. And it is called a test hack . I just tested my skills on it . My future hacks will be too great (inshallah).
