[HowTo] Categorize Who's Online on Forumhome · **Released**: 01-08-2003

HACK: [HowTo] Categorize Who's Online on Forumhome
BY: KuraFire [www.kurafire.com]
REQUESTED BY: Xiphoid [www.creations.nl]
DESCRIPTION: Divide the active users bit on Forumhome into a Staff: section and Members: section
DIFFICULTY: Easy
INSTALL-TIME: 5 minutes

Xiphoid asked for a categorization on forumhome (Staff / Members) for vB 3, but since it's such an easy thing I decided not to wait for vB 3 but just make the hack myself

Kudos to xiphoid for a good idea

EXAMPLE HERE: click here for an example of this hack

Warning / note: The || and && operators in original vB code I put in the instructions here that you need to search on MIGHT BE "or" and "and" in your version. Keep that in mind if you can't find the code!

Note: I wrote this on my own board which is currently still version 2.2.5, it might well work on any version above that but that is not yet tested or confirmed! (nor for versions below)

INSTRUCTIONS ARE IN THE ATTACHMENT

If something did not work right, you did not follow the instructions properly

Enjoy!

I've just turned one moderator back to REGISTERED and he still shows up as part of the STAFF.... He has tried from different computers but results are the same.

He has cleaned cookies and cache but he's still there...

Any ideas??

This has nothing to do with this hack.

If he still shows up as staff he is still in at least one staff group.

No. He DOES NOT appear on the SHOWGROUPS.php list.
He's a REGISTERED user now.
He is NOT a moderator of ANY forum.
He does NOT see the HIDDEN moderators forum.
He has cleaned cookies and cache...

But he still appears categorized as part of the STAFF.

What else?

Check your Forum settings to see if he is still listed as a Moderator to a forum (even though he isn't in the moderators usergroup anymore).

If you can't find him there, check the database moderator tables to see if he's still among those. I think that's the problem here (caused by vB not deleting these entries properly when changing mods back to normal members, perhaps...)

Areku · #57 11-13-2003, 10:48 PM

Is that a normal issue (bug) in the 2.3.0 version of the board? I can only think of your second option as he definetly is NOT moderating any forum...

Areku · #58 11-13-2003, 10:50 PM

Found it on moderator table!

Wotta weirdo!!

KuraFire · #59 11-14-2003, 07:38 AM

Hence, 'twas nothing to do with my hack after all

Areku · #60 11-14-2003, 08:48 AM

blaaaaaah! :P

U must reckon this was the only place to ask for this issue :P

KuraFire · #61 11-14-2003, 09:13 AM

Fair enough

I was the easiest way of getting a fix, for you, cos i know the code of my hack, yup.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
