I'll redownload it, its probably me :P


EDIT : I done it! It turns out, i was using the wrong index.php. :nervous:

Hrm. I'm having a problem which is probably just because I'm doing something silly on my part, but it's worth a shot.

I've never been able to get this hack to work, I've run the query, edited the index.php file, added and modified the templates and added in the phrases and yet, while it displays all phrases and template-based things correctly, it refuses to parse the PHP code. At least I think it is, as I'm never getting any Usernames in the list or numbers in the stats. I've tried multiple times but with no success either way.

I'm trying to do an install from scratch on vB3 Gold btw.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! It does sound like I'm doing something wrong in the php file mods, or maybe the query, but I'm not too sure.

First, let me state that this is an awesome hack, and that I would like to keep it. Thanks to the author and all coders for their work, fixes and improvements.

"Most members ever online on a day" works now. Invisible users are suppressed what is great. The formatting of special users (such as moderators, administrators, &c.) in bold, italics, &c. works, too. The layout is great.

There is, however, still a problem related to time zones. It doesn't matter to what one sets the Default Time Zone Offset in the Admin CP: there are always problems. For demonstration purposes, I set it to GMT:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...id=17505&stc=1

Every member has now the possibility to define his own Time Zone in the User CP under Edit Options. If I set it to GMT, this is what I get:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...id=17506&stc=1

If I set it to GMT-9, this is the result:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...id=17507&stc=1

And worst, and that's the real problem, if I set it to GMT+9, this is the result:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...id=17508&stc=1

The results obviously depend on the time of the day, but there are always Time Zones for which 0 members are displayed (and this state can last for hours), albeit there are even members online and active at the moment, regardless to what one sets the Default Time Zone Offset in the Admin CP.

Can some advanced coder maybe fix this for all of us who love this hack, please?

(Automatic and static DST offsets in the Admin CP and User CP would have to be considered as well, I assume, but I'm no coder.)

Actually, if possible, best would be if the hack would be totally dynamic, i. e. if it displayed the users of the last 24 hours for everyone, regardless of his time zone.

Thanks for all your efforts. Much appreciated.

It seems like I've got my working. However, the Admin/Mods aren't showing up in bold/italics. Any suggestions? I replaced my existing code in index.php as suggested earlier in this thread, but that didn't work.
Thanks.
