[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!

I'm trying to reset everything to get rid of the
hack on mine, because it says there are x amount
of users online, but doesn't show all the names on the
main index page anymore.

I've restored all the original files but it still does it

How do I set MySQL back yo the way it was???

Thanks tubedogg, that sounds great,

Run this query:

ALTER session DROP location;

and it should be back to normal.

You must upgrade to 2.0.0 to receive support from me or anyone else. Regardless, that exists in 2.0 RC2, so you are obviously not running RC2 or you did not revert a template somewhere along the way.

every time when I try to see the online members I see this error:

Warning: Variable $loggedins is not an array or string in /home/l/lichtfli/www/forums/online.php on line 29

Parse error: parse error in /home/l/lichtfli/www/forums/online.php on line 44

does anybody now what it is?

This hack worked for me on the first try.

Thanks for the great instructions, although I did find the line number references to be off somewhat, I was still able to stumble my way through this one.

Works good, looks good. Thanks a bunch.

I install this hack last night and it works great!

One question -- I noticed some of my members show up twice on the list... did I do something wrong or is that actually accurate? It seems a bit odd...

Thanks!

[SFishy]

anyone?
