Did you follow the postbit instructions properly? If it doesn't show up AT ALL thats where the problem would be.

Followed them to the T...does it work with 2.2.6?

[Tony G]

Yes it should.

Can I have a link to your forum to see?

It is a private forum...here is my postbit

Well online status is there.

Can't understand what could be going wrong.

heres a kicker for u...it shows up in some sub forums but not others...OMG...I am so confused

[Tony G]

Can you PM me the link then? It would really help..

But otherwise no idea.

Sorry.

Now comes the tricky part. Open up the postbit template.
About 3 quarters of the way down you will see a variable called $onlinestatus.
Cut it from there. Then scroll up until you see the following

What you mean by cut it there..just delete the $onlinestatus?

I can't get this to work at all..and when you read it,it aint that hard hmm..


What do i put into postbit_offline and online,can someone tell me that cause i deleted it..yeah stupid me

I want it to be like you guys have it here,taht would be awesome

Anyway help will be nice,i really want to use this.

I can't get it to work though..

It doesn't show up in my postbit template... but it shows up when someone sends me a private message along the bottom.... why is this?

i got the same ,very weird..using 2.2.6 version

Anyone can help plz?

You will need to edit the PM template to make the "Online" part place like that of the postbit (being they are 2 different sections of the board, hence 2 different templates need to be edited). As for it not working with 2.2.6, check what version we are running . Unless you have hacked up your board with code hacks and something, it shoud work just fine.
