[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

You have the join the post.userid with the session table to see if the user is online. That is why I have made it an optional feature as it will add query time to showthread.

===== > showthread.php/php3

==== > Find
require("global.php");

====>Add below
// on line hack
if ($displayloggedin==1) {
$datecut=time()-$cookietimeout;

$numberguest=0;
$numberregistered=0;
if ($logged=$DB_site->query("SELECT userid FROM session")) {
while($thislogged=$DB_site->fetch_array($logged)) {
if ($thislogged[userid]==0) {
$numberguest++;
} else {
$numberregistered++;
}
}
}
$totalonline = $numberguest+$numberregistered;

$numbervisible=0;
$activeusers = "";
$loggedins=$DB_site->query("SELECT DISTINCT user.userid,username,session.location FROM user,session WHERE session.userid=user.userid AND session.userid<>0 AND invisible=0 ORDER BY username");
if ($loggedin=$DB_site->fetch_array($loggedins)) {
$numbervisible++;
$userid=$loggedin[userid];
$username=$loggedin[username];
$location=$loggedin[location];

eval("\$activeusers .= \"on line - ".gettemplate("loggedinuser")."\";");

while ($loggedin=$DB_site->fetch_array($loggedins)) {
$numbervisible++;
$userid=$loggedin[userid];
$username=$loggedin[username];
$location=$loggedin[location];
eval("\$activeusers .= \", ".gettemplate("loggedinuser")."\";");
}
}
$numberinvisible=$numberregistered-$numbervisible;
eval("\$loggedinusers = \"".gettemplate("loggedinusers")."\";");
}

// end on line hack

====>Save and upload this file

====> In "showthread" template:

==== > Find
$nextnewest</smallfont></TD>
</tr>
</table>

====>Add below

<tr bgcolor="{categorybackcolor}"><td colspan=6>
<smallfont>$activeusers</smallfont></td>
</tr>
Save template

i did a similar hack for 1.x but i added the db-queries to existing queries so that there wont be an extra query(load) to the database.

1) This is already included as a feature in version 2.0 of vBulletin.

2) Private messaging is included as a hack now and as a standard feature in version 2.0

But it does not show if they are online in the message board where the person made the message?

I know that to. instant messages is different. it allows you to click there status icon (Online or Offline) and a window pops up and you can send a message to them. When they visit the boards and have an unread instant message a popup box appears with the message. Read through this post for a demo
