Miscellaneous Hacks - Who's Online False Location for vB 4

Who's Online False Location for vB 4
Version 1.0.1
(By Boofo)

What does this product do?
This product will show viewers of the Who's Online pre-defined actions for userids that you choose. You can exclude users from the Members List (and count), as well as replace the Last Visit in Members List, or Profile Last Activity, with a phrase.

NOTE: I know this has been done before for vb 3, but I re-wrote the code for my specific purposes and added a few options that were missing in the other one.

Credits:
Thanks goes out to nfn for allowing me to use his Exclude Users from Members List modification idea.

Version Information:
Version 1.0.0 --Initial release for vB 4
Version 1.0.1 --Added Exclude Users from Members List (and Members List count) for Who's Online False Location Userids. Also added the ability to show a custom phrase for the Profile Last activity as well as the Last Visit in the Members List.

Installation Overview:
---------------------------

Installation Instructions:
---------------------------
1. Upload the 'who_is_online_false_location.txt' file to your forum root.

2. Go to your Admin CP
Scroll down to 'Plugin System'
Click 'Manage Products'
Click 'Add/Import Product'
Click the 'Browse' button, and locate the 'product-boofo_false_location.xml' file on your computer

Who's Online False Location Userids:
--Enter the userids you want to show the false location for. (Default is userid 1)

Who's Online False Location Name:
--Enter the false location you want to show the location for the question mark icon. (Default is... a surprise)

Hello, Boofo!

I installed and unistalled this mod because it creates some bugs in the forum.

Some users are always shown on line (my two moderators) to the online member list for hours even though the have left two hours ago.

I hope you update this mod in the future...

The problem is that even though I unstalled the mod the this issue still exists. This did noy happen until I install this spesific mod!

[Boofo]

You've got another mod interfering with it. This mod cannot do what you say it is doing by itself. There is no update that will fix what is happening. You need to find out which mod is clashing with it and have that mod fixed.

[Mikevet1984]

You are propably right!

Can you please help me fix the problem occured?

I have been seeing a message of a user viewing index, 1 minute ago for about four hours now.

I disabled the hooks and the problem still exists. I really hope there is nothing fatal to the database so as nothing to be done.

Any idea how I could restore the forum back to normal?

[Mikevet1984]

Reinstalled it, to make some tests...

Bug still there....

Also I can see false location to my profile, but not to other spesified in the options users profile.

I really do not know why!

[Boofo]

This mod CAN'T do what you think it is doing. There is something else going on with another mod somewhere. This mod doesn't touch the db. Is the user a bot or a guest?

[Mikevet1984]

Nope, a moderator....

[Boofo]

Where does it say they are at?

[Mikevet1984]

Just sent you pm.

Thanks for your reply and support!

[Mikevet1984]

Now my super-moderator also stacked being shown as viewing index all the time.

Immediately uninstalled....

Boofo please take a look a this mod to see if there is any confict with known mods cause I have not installed any rare mod.

[Boofo]

Mike, I have looked this mod over and it is not causing you the problem you are having. You need to uninstall some other mods until you find the culprit.
