[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!

Tube, sorry thats the one that I downloaded, I just posted in the wrong thread, mainly this on. But All I see is the text that says how many people are on, I dont see any of the fancy tables and colors.

Im guessing all this stuff im talking about should go in

echo("Member(s) on: $regmemberson. Guest(s) on: $guestson.");

Also, ive been noticing that the results dont seem to match. Our boards say 23 online with 7 guests currently, and your script outputs: Member(s) on: 40. Guest(s) on: 8.

You can look at our boards at http://chat.goosehead.com/forums/index.php

And the script is all the way at the bottom at http://www.goosehead.com/pie.html

i have a question!
i have used this hack, and when i'm online, everything is ok. but someone tell me, he can't explore vbb, show:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in ./admin/sessions.php on line 265

and i loginout ,still can't see this.

when i replace "session.php", he can login and explore.

so ,can u tell me why?

i used version 2.2, and do everything carefully!

my vbb's version is 2.0.

ztsky! i have tested , and everthing ok!

just what i say had showed!

Great hack one small adjustment to online.php was needed to me that was

error_reporting(7);

at the top of the code. Just like all other VB pages. Without this it was giving me a lot of warning messages. Maybe you should add this code to the hack ?

I'm pretty pleased with myself for that lol I ain't really a php expert but I fixed something *claps*

Hmm seems to of broke the amount of users that are online. It is now stuck at 0 even when I am on the board. It never did this before. Did i do something wrong someplace?

Can someone post the strings to replace for 2.0.1?

The lines are TOTALLY different!
Also do some strings exist twice or even more!

Thx!

Hey, I'm new here and I need your help.
I've tried the who'sonline hack and I'm really thankful for the one who did it. But I had a problem. first, I installed it successfully but when I go to the page where I can see the users and the visitors I see a table with two culoms in it. The first one for the users and the visitors and the other one is for where they are. Unfortunately, it doesn't give me where they really are..!!! instead it only gives me that they are (browsing the Board) ...How can I fix this problem so that it gives me what they exactly are doing????

Thanks again for everyone here....Specially to tubedogg

Unless they are on specific pages they will show up as browsing the board. If you take a look through the online.php file you will see the various instances of where they must be to trigger a page name.
