Who's online on non-vb pages request

[drives fast]

I have found all of the threads touching on this subject but maybe I am having a brain fart or something I cannot understand them.

Well...maybe it is because my non-vb pages I want this to work on are located inside my forum directory and I cannot upload another online.php file since there is already one in there.

say I have a page that looks like this:

PHP Code:

<?php
error_reporting(7);

$templatesused='guides';

require('./global.php');

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0) {
    show_nopermission();
}

$bbusername = $bbuserinfo[username];

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('guides')."\");");

?>

and it uses a template as shown above

what can I do to make $onlineusers and $username work on that page?

thanks in advance

I forgot to mention that I am using v2.2.5 and I do understand that this has been done but in different capacity.

thanks in advance

instead of $username use $bbuserinfo[username] in the template, that will work

to use the onlineusers, just copy the part of index.php which creates it

Use tubedogg's hack and change his file name to online2.php instead of online.php

Xenon,
thank you for the tip on the $username

as for the other thing.....I really meant $browsers rather than $onlineusers (I think) because I only want it to display the members that are on the page at the time.

I looked in index.php and found code starting with this:
"// Users browsing each forum"
and ended with one of these: }
but it refers to the "inforum" colum of the user table......is that going to work?

The reason I ask is that I tried adding the code I found in index.php and put $browsers in the template but nothing showed.

I am a bit lost on this.

thanks for your help

Side note: upgrade ASAP because that old a version has a broken Hoover Dam of security holes.

I changed the php files to a newer version without upgrading (hard to explain how I did it)...I have so many hacks installed....I loathe the thought of upgrading.

In case you visited the site....the style currently used is not the one I am working on....I have a style in the works that is leaps and bounds ahead of the current one.

I just can't imagine trying to upgrade now.

amykhar,
that hack is not what I am looking for....I am looking to show who is on the page at the time...not who is on the whole site

hmm, you have to get the infos you want out of the session table

just count the ammount of users where th location is....

thank you for your input Xenon....sadly I have no idea how to do that.

thank you anyway
