Nitemare, I tried to send you a PM on my boards but it said you werent accepting.

Maybe you hadnt confirmed the registration yet..

This is what was in it...

Thanks for taking the time to try and help with the Whos Online Today. I figured out what the deal is, now just have to find a fix for the offsetting times.

I hope you enjoy the boards and come back and visit from time too time. The place used to rock but I had too take some time away for the family and things kinda died down do to no maintanence.

Im back now though, and got to get this place rolling again in time for football season. New portals being contructed for front page and team sites as we speak! lol

Have a good night man, and thanks for taking the time to try and help out again. Its much appreciated.

OK I am very new to all this stuff and my forum has been up for about a month now....This might be a very simple question but I need to know where I would find the "FORUM HOME" template....This is my first time messing around with this stuff so if someone could please help I would GREATLY appreciate it! Again, this is probably a very simple question, but I am stuck as to where the "FORUM HOME" template is!

THANKS!!!!!!!

Can someone explain, and I mean break it down, the following from Instructions, normal?

INSERT INTO datastore (title, data) VALUES ('todaymaxonline', 'a:2:{s:14:\"todaymaxonline\";i:1;s:18:\"todaymaxo nlinedate\";i:1070000000;}')

Thanks, I get everything else, can't figure this out for the life of me!

That is a Sql query. You have to install it in your forums Sql database. You can do it from your admincp or you can do it from PHPmyadmin.

[ambrosious]

Can you tell me what to do in the admin cp exactly so that the right thing happens?

Kind of new to php and the whole programming side. I am amazed that I haven't messed it up yet!

[Megareus Rex]

Umm...i have a problem. All of a sudden, this hack stopped working. It no longer records who was online, or how many people were...

[ambrosious]

Thanks, I found it.

does this work with 3.0.3?

[Hoobastank68]

I'm pretty confused about this step:

******************************
NOW CREATE THE FOLLOWING PHRASES:
******************************
last_online_at_x / Last online at {1}
******************************
active_users_today / Number of Active Users Today
******************************
most_users_ever / Most users ever online on a day was {1} on {2}.
******************************
already_visited_today / The following members have already visited the forums today
******************************

Anyone know? I looked under Languages and Phrases but not sure what to do 100%. Thanks.

In your Phrase Manager, click on the button to Create a New Phrase. Then create the 4 phrases listed. All of them should be Type: Global, and the first half of each line you listed is the VarName. The second half is what goes in the Text field.

This hack is also included in vBIndex. If you dont have a portal, this hack is the thing for you
