[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).

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!

The session table is updated at the completion of a page output so if you go to index.php as the first page of your visit you will not see yourself until you refresh.

Yeah That would be nice.

This post here solved most of my problems and answered the questions I had on this topic: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...?threadid=2658

Thanks alot to eva2000 and TechTalk

The only other thing I wanted to know, is to get a separate page to show all Online Members, and where exactly they are browsing. To have it looking sort of like this:

I don't know if this hack Online hack can do something like this, or would it be another separate hack?

tubedogg, but it's not formatted anyway.. it just displays this info in the wide open unless you <include> it someplace..

and it also doesn't show you where they're browsing exactly, which i'm not sure if this hack can do..

Actually, let me show you exactly what I mean:

Oh
in that case I retract my earlier statement.

I meant something like the
members page + online + some stats + ip addys....
like a sizable spread sheet that you could see everything
at once, with maybe the buttons like are in the members page,
but only show all this for the members that are online,
and have a button like the pm that would popup a
windows just like pm, but work like icq.

Now is that asking for the world or what...

Hello,

After carefully following the instructions, I get the following error:

Warning: Variable $loggedins is not an array or string in /home/noc/dre-www/board/online.php3 on line 29

Parse error: parse error in /home/noc/dre-www/board/online.php3 on line 44

Thanks
dd

Anyone?

Did you backup your sessions.php? If you did you may opt to rename the hacked sessions.php and put your backed up sessions back on the server. If you don't get the error, then you need to go through your hack or rehack.
