[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!

First of all, thank you Kura. Glad you liked my idea and that we could realize it with a little hack.

It works perfectly on my 2.2.9 board at http://creations.nl/ :banana:

I added a little code to it, so the staff links to the forum leaders page and the members link to the memberlist page.

Link 'Staff' to 'Forum Leaders' Page - addon:
and
Link 'Members' to 'Memberlist' Page - addon:
Find:

Code:

$activeusers = iif($staffusers!="", "Staff: $staffusers <br />", "") . iif($normalusers!="", "Members: $normalusers", "");

and replace with:

Code:

$activeusers = iif($staffusers!="", "<a href=\"$bburl/showgroups.php?s=\">Staff</a>: $staffusers <br />", "") . iif($normalusers!="", "<a href=\"$bburl/memberlist.php?s=\">Members</a>: $normalusers", "");

Just in case someone else also wants to do this, and, if you want to have it show as:

Staff:
<staff members on their own line>
Members:
<members on their own line>

Then just add a <br /> behind the Staff: part

Floris · #29 01-11-2003, 09:09 AM

There is also a big EXAMPLE link in the first post which you could check, my board nearly always has a staffmember and 3-5 normal members _at least_ online at any time. Average is about 12 ppl in total of which 2-3 staff..

Will be installing this later but I have a small question, at this site

http://creations.nl/

I see it has a listing for robots, is that a seperate hack? I have searched here for that and cant seem to find reference to it.

Thanks

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