Hi,

I had some non-vBulletin pages integrated to the vb database and i wanted to show the users viewing those pages in Online Users so i used this piece of code at the top of the non-vBulletin pages:

PHP Code:
<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'adv_index');
define('VBA_PORTAL', true);
define('VBA_SCRIPT', 'CMPS');

$forumpath = 'yourforumpath';

//example = '/home/msxorg/public_html/forum'

chdir($forumpath);

$phrasegroups = array();
$globaltemplates = array();
$actiontemplates = array();
$specialtemplates = array();

require_once('./includes/vba_cmps_include_template.php');
require_once('./global.php');

exec_shut_down();
?>
You can remove the lines related to vBadvanced if you don't have it installed.

More information can be found here:

How to create your own vBulletin-powered page! (uses vB templates)


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's say you have a page nothing to do with vBulletin & vBulletin database (wordpress pages, external html pages, even pages of your other domains etc...) and you still want to show the page viewers in Online Users of vBulletin.


Step - 1

Create a page called 'extra_online_users.php'.

Copy these lines in it:
PHP Code:
<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);

$forumpath = 'yourforumpath';
//example = '/home/msxorg/public_html/forum'

chdir($forumpath);

$phrasegroups = array();
$globaltemplates = array();
$actiontemplates = array();
$specialtemplates = array();

require_once('./global.php');


exec_shut_down();
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html dir="ltr" lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Extra Online Users</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<meta name="content-language" content="en" />
</head>
<body style="margin: 0px">
<!-- anything can be put here. a little image, some text, etc... or you may keep it like this -->
</body>
</html>
Save and upload this page to your domain or forum root.

Step - 2

Open your non-vbulletin page and copy these lines to the very bottom of your page:
(Note: Before </body>)

HTML Code:
<iframe src="http://www.yourdomain.com/extra_online_users.php" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" width="0" height="0"></iframe>
Now, anybody visits your non-vbulletin page will be displayed at "Online Users".

But it will show their location as "Unknown Location". We can fix this of course.

Step - 3

Go to your AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Plugin Manager > Add new Plugin

Product: vBulletin
Hook Location: online_location_process
Title: Extra Online Users Process
Execution Order: 5

Code:
PHP Code:
if ($filename == 'extra_online_users.php')
{
    $userinfo['activity'] = 'extra_online_users';
} 
Save.

Go to your AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Plugin Manager > Add new Plugin

Product: vBulletin
Hook Location: online_location_unknown
Title: Extra Online Users Unknown
Execution Order: 5

Code:
PHP Code:
if ($userinfo['activity'] == 'extra_online_users')
{
    $handled = true;
    $userinfo['action'] = 'Viewing -your custom page title comes here-';
    $userinfo['where'] = '<a href="http://-your custom page url comes here-">-your custom page title-</a>';
} 
Save.

If you want to apply this tutorial for more than one page, just create another instance of "extra_online_users.php" and name it like "extra_online_users2.php".

Don't forget to add the lines to the plugins and make the name changes.

Demo and screenshots:
Messenger Blog
(a wordpress blog - this image at the footer is called by iframe 'extra_online_users.php')

Does this work with custom vba pages?

Yes, as long as you include the iframe on the page.

Hmm, the way I did it now is from bbcode. Would I have to adjust for an html page?

Not sure how you did it. It should be ok if the php contents are being executed.

I did my page by going in to Add Page, then bb code page.

Edit: Ok I recreated my page using the HTML template method in vba but following your tutorial. I've done all the steps but users are still showing as:
Unknown Location
/forum/extra_online_users.php

Here is the new page:

http://www.shatteredplanet.org/index.php?pageid=servers

Oh, sorry. The file must be different. I mean both index.php or index.php?pageid are same for this script. Maybe you should check vBadvanced support forums.

Well the second method I did for a page just uses a html file and displays it within VBa, so your directions should work.

If you view just the source page: http://www.shatteredplanet.org/forum/serverstatus.html

You still get unknown location.

I have the plugin code as:

Code:
if ($userinfo['activity'] == 'extra_online_users')
{
    $handled = true;
    $userinfo['action'] = 'Viewing Server Status';
    $userinfo['where'] = '<a href="http://www.shatteredplanet.org/index.php?pageid=servers">servers</a>';
}

Then it must be:
Code:
$userinfo['where'] = '<a href="http://www.shatteredplanet.org/forum/serverstatus.html">servers</a>';
