i noticed a little bug in the hack. if i browse a forum and i go back to the forumhome, it still shows that i'm browsing that forum... this is present here at vB.org also. try this. go to an empty forum (0 users browsing), then click on [vBulletin.org Forum >] navigation link at the top. it will still show that you are there. if you refresh the page it goes away... any way to fix this?

thanks.

PS. i still think of a issue to that LEFT JOIN for guests, that i asked earlier in that thread... but i cant index it, i get a database error...

That's a bug in vBulletin, not this hack.

To fix it, add a call to updateuserforum() in index.php like this:

Code:

updateuserforum(0);

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('forumhome')."\");");

Of course it will only be updated next time you load the index page.

What am I doing wrong, I still get a separate query for each forum I have, but I followed FireFly's instructions only, not Neo's.... :/

66 queries on index page.. :'(

TECK · #51 04-30-2002, 12:32 PM

thanks firefly. do you think is a good idea to add the guests to the list of browsers?

Admin · #52 04-30-2002, 12:46 PM

You cannot.

how would one align it too the right next too the posts?

TECK · #55 04-30-2002, 05:06 PM

firefly, can i ask you to explain to me why i cannot index twice the same field (on 2 different tables) in database? i tried to add inforum to session and used also INDEX (inforum) but i get a database error.

i saw that you cannot LEFT JOIN session. let me know where i go wrong. if i have a inforum field in session, i could do a LEFT JOIN session and include also the guests that browse the specific forum (in theory?)...

i would like to understand a little more the mystery of LEFT JOINs to other tables. it's clear to me the mechanism of associating 2 tables info.. let me know if i should start a thread related to this in General Hacking Discussion. thanks.

Boofo · #56 04-30-2002, 07:15 PM

Neo,

How many places and where do I need to change the colspan from 6 to 7 to have the top bar show right after I add this hack? Thanks in advance.

Neo · #57 04-30-2002, 07:16 PM

That is a template edit inetd and I will take a look into the LEFT JOIN nakkid... I am very busy today O_O

Boofo · #58 04-30-2002, 10:29 PM

Firefly,

Where and how would you add this exactly? And could you also put it in the forumdisplay.php or wouldn't it work there?

updateuserforum(0);

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('forumhome')."\");" );

Neo · #59 04-30-2002, 10:39 PM

It works well for me in forumdisplay.php.. just follow the first instructions I posted.

Boofo · #60 04-30-2002, 11:05 PM

I did follow the instructions in the file to a T. I wasn't sure if I needed to add that code to either of the files Firelfy mentioned. If I do, I have no idea where to add them or how to "call" them as he put it. (Sorry for being a newbie.) :-)

Yep done that and it worked but how do i make the "$browsers members browsing" stay as far right as it can go like here at vb.org.

at the moment at my forum its right next to the forum name like this:
eg:
General Chat (10 members browsing)
i want it like this:
General Chat **********************(10 members browsing)

but without the *'s just a big space so it all stays to the right.
cheers
