Who's Online Not Working for Non-VB Pages

[hamedatl]

I'm trying to get users who are on non-VB pages show up on the Who's Online section of the forums.

I do this on my external pages:

chdir("../forums/");
require_once('./global.php');
include('./includes/functions_user.php');

Now, I know this works because I'm able to get the username and do other authentication stuff. But if a user is on this external page, the Who's Online won't reflect that. Is there something else I need to do to get this working? I couldn't find the info on other threads. Thanks.

there are hooks that deal with that they all have a prefix "online_" ... just a hint

Well, I tried https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=83247 but I couldn't get it working for non-VB pages (outside the forum directory).

Also, I'm not really interested in displaying what non-VB page they're in -- it can say Index or Unknown. That's fine. But I don't even see the total user count go up when I include the global.php .. Am I missing something still?

Sorry, just checking to see if anyone had an idea about this.

You should use

PHP Code:

define(DIR, '/path/to/forums');
require('/path/to/forums/global.php');
require(DIR . '/includes/functions_user.php');
