Pre vB3 hacks?

[mini2]

Seeing as my other thread on vB3 was closed, and this is still open, can I fire a question at you guys?

I integrate vB with my site on a few levels, one thing I do is include global.php form all pages so I can call on certain vB functions.

What this has always meant is I include all my site users (even those not on the forum) in the 'users online' section at the foot of the forum index page, however, since updating to vB3 (beta 5), only users on my forum show online, not users elswhere on the site.

I've tried, but cant get them back in those online figures.

Could anyone give me a clue/some advice on how to get them included in the figures, even with location 'unknown' in who's online, I dont care about that, just like them back included.



Thank in advance.

Please do not post technical vB3 questions. I've already told you why publicly and in PMs.

If that' directed at me, you haven't really said why. Maybe there's a thread I'm missing, but on the front page it says:

Users with a valid license can immediately download it, and install it on their boards. As because of it's a BETA release there won't be official support via the support ticket system. Also as it wouldn't help the developers to find bug if you'll start on hacking, vBulletin.org decided not to allow any vB3 hacks until it's in RC state.
We hope you all understand why we are doing so, and please cooperate.

I'm not posting a hack or requesting a hack, just asking for some hacking advice from fellow vB3 Beta users!

If you're taking it further than outlined there, then could someone tell me somewhere where we can talk about vB3 'safely'?

Thanks

You can at http://www.vBulletin.com or http://www.vBulletin.nl

I've posted a few things at vBulletin.com and they've been very helpful, even with hack stuff(!?), but as this is pure hack stuff I thought I'd come here first.

I'll checkout .nl, thanks.

Shame we cant discuss it here, there's obviously going to be a growing urge to do so!

Maybe not even there, I think they only want talk about template mod's.

Hacking a vbulletin 3 is considered a bug trouble.

If you hack in wrong place then bug them about a bug (that you cause) it puts a wrench in the works.

Best bet IMO if you are unsure what you are doing with vb3. Do not hack it

vB3 hacking will be allowed when it hits RC

I've already hacked it a-plenty thanks, and I wont report hack related bugs, because I've stuck to stuff I'm comfortable hacking. Not sure on this, which is why I came to my favourite vB hacking site to ask about it.

TIP: global.php is called slightly differently now, as are the functions. You need to look at other vB3 PHP files to see how it's done.

I figured that much, just haven't worked out how it works it out... if you see what I mean.

Thanks for answering me and not telling me off though.

If anyone has worked it out, could PM me instead of risking scourn by posting it on here.

I mean, I can get the output on any page, and my gallery and chat (and template) hack still work, but it's getting people online elsewhere on the site to count that seems to not be working.

Thanks again, I'll do it somehow....
