Users Online displayed on main page AND on individual forum indexes?

I think you'd want to wait on the improvement/more specific hack, too, Neogeniseva. And I'm sure that FF will be more than willing to specify how to do it.


For the current one, though, I can tell you how to implement it. Just copy that code, open up the global.php file, paste it somewhere in the middle. Myself, I placed it below the line "// ############# START SESSIONS ##############" and above this line:

PHP Code:

// figure out the chosen style settings 


Then upload global.php to your forum, and go to edit a template (forumdisplay is a good idea ). Add in the line $totalonline somewhere in the template (anywhere) and it will show the "Who's Online" bit..

thanks i will try it out

[KuraFire]

no problem, remember that it as of yet DOESN'T show users online per specific forum, it just copies the "Who's Online" entries from Forumhome.

*bump* in the hope FireFly notices that I would want it to show users on that particular forum, not global online users ^_^

I too would like to see this

I am at least pretty sure, that it is possible to do with vB.
See the example:

I suspected no less. But -how- ? :/

You have to make a modified function in online.php that calls itself to check for particular instances of where user[info] == browsingforum1 or something like that. That's a very rough idea of how to do it, but maybe it will help.

Thanks

Perhaps not of much use to me (my hacking skillz = 0 ) but any potential hacker who would make this hack now has a guideline (in case he/she needed it)

PHP Code:

$usershere=$DB_site->query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM session WHERE location LIKE 'forumid=$forumid'"); 


That's basically it.

Add it to your forumdisplay.php file right before the dooutput, and use $usershere[count] to display the number.

The query is OK, but the whole thing isn't really tested right now.
