[RELEASE] User Online In Users Thread

This is a small (very small) Hack i made today. Its like ubb's UBonline.cgi hack. so small anyone could install it

Step 1
Open showthread.php/php3 and find

$userid=$post[userid];

  if ($userid!=0) {
    $userinfo=$post;

and UNDER it add

// User Online Icon Hack by Chris Boulton
$status = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT session.userid,user.username,user.receivepm FROM session, user WHERE session.userid=user.userid AND session.userid='".intval($userinfo[userid])."'");
if ($status) {
$usersstatus = "<img src=\"images/online.gif\" border=0 alt=\"$userinfo[username] is Online\">";
} else {
$usersstatus = "<img src=\"images/offline.gif\" border=0 alt=\"$userinfo[username] is Offline\">";
}
// User Online Icon Hack by Chris Boulton

Step 2
save and upload

Step 3
open your postbit template
and instert $usersstatus where you want to display if the threads poster is online or offline

Step 4
download or make 2 images (offline.gif and online.gif)
I use the ones that ubbdev.com use

Please be nice on me, this is the first hack i have made for vBulletin. If someone has already done it sorry.

BTW - does anyone want to help me with a Instant Message Hack, i am crap at php but i have done the templates etc etc.


If you have trouble with this hack reply or contact me

well I dunno y all these peeps r dissing it, but i happen to like it a lot! thanks!

i don't know if it's just me.......but this hack doesn't seem to to work in vbb1.15......whenever i add it it shows a database error.....has anyone using vbb1.15 get this hack to work??

No one is dissing it. I think its a great hack...but I'm all for improving it and making it easier on my server load.

works great on 1.14, will try on 1.15 later.

whats the error you get

Anyway to Optimize this like Ed Sullivan suggested?

Sure you could do it like I have done it in v2.0

well......everything works fine until i click on one of the threads, then it showed up a page that said there was some database error......

I get same error with 1.1.5

Unless anything here is wrong

$userid=$post[userid];

if ($userid!=0) {
$userinfo=$post;
// User Online Icon Hack by Chris Boulton
$status = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT session.userid,user.username,user.receivepm FROM session, user WHERE session.userid=user.userid AND session.userid='".intval($userinfo[userid])."'");
if ($status) {
$usersstatus = "<img src=\"images/online.gif\" border=0 alt=\"$userinfo[username] is Online\">";
} else {
$usersstatus = "<img src=\"images/offline.gif\" border=0 alt=\"$userinfo[username] is Offline\">";
}
// User Online Icon Hack by Chris Boulton
$username=htmlspecialchars($userinfo[username]);
$searchuser=urlencode($userinfo[username]);
//star hack
if ($userinfo[usertitle]=="Administrator") {

Hey Scaramanga
