Derek,

At this time I still have those 2 plugins disabled as you suggested and I am waiting in limbo for a fix here. Can you let me know if your going to be able to fix this Who's Online problem related to vBTestimonials?

Thank You,

Nuguru

I am still looking into it. Just leave them disabled for now, they aren't really important, the WOL will just say unknown location until they are enabled, I will release a fix as soon as I can figure out what is wrong.

Thanks,
Derek

I have a fix for this who's online issue (that works for me at least)

Go into your plugin manager & find:

Title: vBTestimonials WOL 2
Hookname: online_location_unknown

Get rid of all the code and replace it with this:

PHP Code:

if ($userinfo['activity'] == 'Adding Testimonial')
{ 
    $userinfo['where'] = '<a href="vbtestimonials.php?'.$vbulletin->session->vars[sessionurl].'do=add">'.$vbphrase['vbtestimonials_adding_testimonial'].'</a>'; 
        $userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['vbtestimonials_adding_testimonial']; 
        $handled = true;
}
else if ($userinfo['activity'] == 'Editing Testimonial')
{
    $userinfo['where'] = '<a href="vbtestimonials.php?'.$vbulletin->session->vars[sessionurl].'do=edit">'.$vbphrase['vbtestimonials_editing_testimonial'].'</a>'; 
        $userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['vbtestimonials_editing_testimonial']; 
        $handled = true;
}
else if ($userinfo['activity'] == 'Deleting Testimonial')
{
    $userinfo['where'] = '<a href="vbtestimonials.php?'.$vbulletin->session->vars[sessionurl].'do=delete">'.$vbphrase['vbtestimonials_deleting_testimonial'].'</a>'; 
        $userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['vbtestimonials_deleting_testimonial']; 
        $handled = true;
}
else if ($userinfo['activity'] == 'Reporting Testimonial')
{
    $userinfo['where'] = '<a href="vbtestimonials.php?'.$vbulletin->session->vars[sessionurl].'do=report">'.$vbphrase['vbtestimonials_reporting_testimonial'].'</a>';
    $userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['vbtestimonials_reporting_testimonial'];
    $handled = true;
}
else if ($userinfo['activity'] == 'Viewing Testimonials')
{
    $userinfo['where'] = '<a href="vbtestimonials.php?'.$vbulletin->session->vars[sessionurl].'">'.$vbphrase['vbtestimonials_viewing_testimonials'].'</a>';
    $userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['vbtestimonials_viewing_testimonials'];
    $handled = true;
}

Thank you for confirming that it works. I will have the fix in the next version and give paul41598 credit in the code for fixing it.

Hi Derek

I have a suggestion or 2 please?

1. How can i make it so only the title and catergory shows (or just title)
2. Is there any way peeps can add a comment should they wish to?

These might be a little out there but they would be great additions to the way i am using this hack

[Lionel]

works in 3.60 too. I had to use Paul's fix. Everyone was showing up as viewing testimonials even though it was not public yet
