vBindex

Latest Version: 1.3

This hack is not very special for me. I just wanted to create a mainpage on which you can see.. (as a member) everything what u like to see. The idea of the script is similar to the vbHome of nakkid and also a little bit to the vBPortal. I tested all of them.. but i was looking for something better . so i decided to write such a script myself...

Features:

• Active threads & newest posts
• News & Polls (read from a newsforum and a pollforum)
• Quick CP Links on the index-site
• Buddies on the index-site
• Very easy to customize. Just edit the templates!
• Available in english and german!

Summary: On this index-site you can see everything what you as a member would like to see .

Demo-Sites:

• http://partylife.ch [German Version]
• http://www.kampfkunst-info.de.vu [German Version]
• http://www.ukwinternet.co.uk/forum/home.php [English Version]

Had this issue too, but I don't know how to fix it so I've removed the max users display...

[wintz]

Yeah i have the same thing with the most users every online, i would love to know how to fix/repair this. Thanks

[el3m3nt]

ehm.. i'm not sure.. and i didnt test it..
just delete this part...

  if ((int)$maxusers[0] <= $totalonline) {
    $time = time();
    $maxloggedin = "$totalonline " . $time . " " . $maxusers[2] . " " . $maxusers[3];
    $DB_site->query("UPDATE template SET template='$maxloggedin' WHERE title='maxloggedin'");
    $maxusers[0] = $totalonline;
    $maxusers[1] = $time;
  }

[wintz]

ok thanks, i`ll give it a shot

Hmmm...something is awry...the fix didn't work for me.

This is what happens, I have the php file loaded up for test purposes until I figure all of it out. It is named newindex.php just for ease of use (I haven't really messed with it since installing it). If I go to my forum the number "Most users ever online" works and functions like it should.

If I pull up the newindex.php it resets the "most users ever online" back to one (or however many are online at that time). I don't click anything it just changes on the load.

I followed the instructions you left above but it didn't seem to cure it.

Any other suggestions?

Well I've modded my file to see how it goes, I'll yet everyone know if it works, this is one thing that has really bugged me since installing vBindex

  }

Well I have removed this code and it hasn't worked for me either, has this fixed the problem for anyone else?

[wintz]

I also removed the code but it didn`t work for me either

Me and NTLDR did the same, we removed it too

[NTLDR]

OK, I have removed the folloing code from the file and at the moment it seems to be working correctly.

Either remove (or comment out each line with // ):

PHP Code:

// today online hack by Mystics - start
  if ((int)$maxusers[0] <= $totalonline) {
    $time = time();
    $maxloggedin = "$totalonline " . $time . " " . $maxusers[2] . " " . $maxusers[3];
    $DB_site->query("UPDATE template SET template='$maxloggedin' WHERE title='maxloggedin'");
    $maxusers[0] = $totalonline;
    $maxusers[1] = $time;
  }

  $todayloggedinusers = "";
  $numbertodayonline = 0;
  $numbertodayonlineinvisible = 0;

  $todayusers=$DB_site->query("SELECT userid, username, usergroupid, lastactivity, invisible FROM user
                WHERE lastactivity > " . mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d"),date("Y")) . "
                ORDER BY username");
  while ($todayuser=$DB_site->fetch_array($todayusers)) {
    $numbertodayonline++;
    if ($todayuser['invisible']==1 and $bbuserinfo['usergroupid']!=6) {
      $numbertodayonlineinvisible++;
      continue;
    }
  }

  $DB_site->free_result($todayusers);

  if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6) {
    $todayonline = $numbertodayonline;
  } else {
    $todayonline = $numbertodayonline - $numbertodayonlineinvisible;
  }
//today online hack by Mystics - end 


The downside to this is that you can't display the number of registered users logged in today on the vBindex page, so you also need to remove (or comment out):

<a href="online.php?s=$session[sessionhash]">Online Today</a>: <b>$todayonline</b><br>

From the template home_left

Let me know if this works for you, it seems to for me at the moment
