[Release v2] Who's Online

UPDATE: v0.2.2 has been released, fixing the problem of session hashes not always being removed and replaced correctly in the URLs of where people are. It also attempts to fix the problem of members appearing on the list twice, however don't hold your breath on this one.
To upgrade, just reupload online.php to your server.
--------------------------------
Old update: v0.2.1 has been released. If you already have this hack installed and working you DO NOT NEED TO UPGRADE! The only change is I adjusted the instructions to account for an error in the order I had them in. THERE IS NO CHANGE TO THE HACK ITSELF. If you have not gotten this installed and working yet, please download the zip file (online021.zip) and work from that one.
--------------------------------
Old Update: You can now see where guests are on your board. To upgrade, simply download the new zip file, and read the UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS in the online.txt file.
--------------------------------
Old Update: I fixed a small bug that was making one long string out of the URL To upgrade, just replace online.php on your server.
--------------------------------
Old Update: I added the missing mysql.php file.
--------------------------------

This has been requested many, many times. It produces a page that displays who's online and where they are. You can link to it from anywhere on your board, or make it just for Admins and Moderators (instructions for that included).

Hack version: v0.2.2

For version: vB2 RC2

Files needed: online.php

Files to edit: admin/sessions.php, possibly admin/index.php and mod/index.php

Templates to edit/create: online, online_userbits, online_guestbits, possibly forumhome_loggedinusers

Instructions are included in the zip file.

Feedback wanted.
Please do not PM or IM me about this hack. Please post it in this thread. Thanks!

great although it still shows username more than once

Eva,

Not that it takes much, but you are confusing the heck out of me.

well I think I installed everything right...
I'm double checking now.
I don't get any error messages, and the board
seems the same.
I'm doing the admin viewing only option.
When I click the link in cp it says loading for a minute,
then it's done, but there is nothing there.

Got any ideas???

oh yeah I've also got several styles.
do I have to put the new templates in all of them?

don't worry get use to it

i did notice when i first visited my forum for today i couldn't see my own username on the forumhome current active user list could of been my eyes playing with me or an effect of this hack ?

I haven't got it to work correctly either. Still a detail or two to work out I believe. I'm having the same situations as you.

Do like it though. Shouldn't be to much to fix for the Kevin the Hack Pro.

oh I almost forgot
I made a mod to this line

<a href="../online.php?s=<?php echo $session[sessionhash]; ?>&action=move"> View Online Users </a>

I took out the ../
if I put it in it does give an error that says

The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:

I've got it in this way now, since it was the original.

I have double checked everyting and it is as it should be
according to the instructions.
also I was doing a new install.

Geezus
I can't believe I did that !

LOL
I put the online.php in the admin dir insted of the root.

Works like a charm now

[eva2000]

had to remove the hack seems my Current Active User figure get's misreported and even myself don't show up on the list until i browse around my forum for a while and refresh the main page...

i have 59 sessions via phpmyadmin but only 17 members/guests showed up

[Hooper]

Hope this one gets figured out soooon.... This is my all time favorite hack.

Is there a way to make this online.php file show the # or members/posts/threads too?
