[HowTo] Categorize Who's Online on Forumhome · **Released**: 01-08-2003

HACK: [HowTo] Categorize Who's Online on Forumhome
BY: KuraFire [www.kurafire.com]
REQUESTED BY: Xiphoid [www.creations.nl]
DESCRIPTION: Divide the active users bit on Forumhome into a Staff: section and Members: section
DIFFICULTY: Easy
INSTALL-TIME: 5 minutes

Xiphoid asked for a categorization on forumhome (Staff / Members) for vB 3, but since it's such an easy thing I decided not to wait for vB 3 but just make the hack myself

Kudos to xiphoid for a good idea

EXAMPLE HERE: click here for an example of this hack

Warning / note: The || and && operators in original vB code I put in the instructions here that you need to search on MIGHT BE "or" and "and" in your version. Keep that in mind if you can't find the code!

Note: I wrote this on my own board which is currently still version 2.2.5, it might well work on any version above that but that is not yet tested or confirmed! (nor for versions below)

INSTRUCTIONS ARE IN THE ATTACHMENT

If something did not work right, you did not follow the instructions properly

Enjoy!

I'm looking at the forumhome on your site but I'm not seeing any members logged in, be they staff or normal.

Only 1 member and 1 guest, me being the guest, I'm assuming you're the member, thus the invisible admin, and I can't see you, nor do I see "Staff:" anywhere

So I take it that all works then, eh?

Yes, that was i hiding.

Great! Thanks for checking it out. Now If I can figure out a way to not have it show up for the amount of users online if I am an invisible Admin, then there would be no way to tell at all when I was on there.

Again, thanks for checking it out and releasing another great hack. The quotes hack and search by ID hack are up and running well along with this one now. "If you release it, I will install it."

Thx

I've been quite busy with hacking vB and adding features and all, but they're all so integrated with one another on my site that
a) I can't possibly release one of them unless I release every change and every hack all together;
b) I don't want to release several of these hacks, so that kind of makes it impossible for me to release any of them.

That's why I haven't been around much. Today, xiph pointed me to that Staff/Member thingy and I figured, hey, that's a nice idea for a hack, and also one for vb.org

So I did ^_^

Worked like a charm on vb 2.2.0!

Thanks!!

anyone got this working on vB 2.2.9 yet?

Boofo · #21 01-10-2003, 09:58 AM

That's the version I am running and it works good for me.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
