Variables Questions

[Cypher720]

like you said...goto vbulletin.org for hacks

There is no hack released for this. You will need to modify files though. It's probably possible through phpinclude, too.

Rodger that. Thanks for the help.

Not necessarily, phpinclude's variable scope usually isn't too hot, either.

[Tony G]

Yeah, I was only guessing. I'm not much into phpinclude, anyway.

you can call the total number of users online by adding this, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=33048

Firefly changed it to work with phpinclude.

Beware that that's two queries on every page, though.

[Brad]

Well, he can modifiy the code to his needs, to my understanding he is only using this on one page.

Yes, I'm only using it on one page. Ideally I think I just need to be able to call the Variable that gives us the "Active Users: 3" statement down at the bottom of a stock version of vB. If I can just get that variable (and a few others) to be able to be recognized in the welcome text template I will be golden (until my next roadblock 5 minutes after that ). This site is sooooo close to going live that it's driving me crazy. I think it's a matter of the old saying in the home built aircraft sport "90% finished, 90% left to go". Thanks a bunch for the help you all are providing to people like me.

Ok try this, add this to a new line on phpinclude:

PHP Code:

// start users online
if (strpos($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 'index.php') != false)
{
$datecut=time()-$cookietimeout;
$wol_guests=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM session WHERE userid=0 AND lastactivity>$datecut");
$wol_users=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(userid)) AS count FROM session WHERE session.userid>0 AND session.lastactivity>$datecut");
$wol_guests=$wol_guests[count];
$wol_users=$wol_users[count];
$wol_online=$wol_guests+$wol_users;
} 


Add this where you want the WOL info on index.php

<smallfont>Active Users: $wol_online ($wol_users member(s),  $wol_guests guest(s))</smallfont>

This add's 2 queries to index.php
