Here is the long awaited (yeah right

) Online Users hack as shown at http://www.baseballboards.com/boards/
and referenced in kevinho's post.

Anyway, I stuck it in its own php file for ease of installing when vB updates are released.

To Do List:

Add javascript radio buttons to the right of the refresh button which easily allow the current user to change their "invisible to online list" profile setting
Include support for the following URLs:
- member.php?action=clearcookies - AKA logout
- index.php?action=showsmilies - Showing Smilies
- index.php?action=showbbcode - Showing BBCode
- showthread.php?postid=455277#post455277

Known Bugs:

I know there are URLs I'm forgetting, I usually wait until it says "Unknown Location" then I check to see what the URL is.
It can be slow if your tables are huge

To install you need two things:

A php file called anything you want (or member.php)
Your browser opened to your board/admin to add two new templates

Create the aforementioned PHP file or feel free to open member.php and pick a nice place.

Paste the following into your file of choice:

Code:

Matt 8-29-00
Look at the code a few messages down!!
/Matt 8-29-00

Ugly, eh?

Create a template called whoisonline and fill it with:

Code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<title>$bbtitle - Online Now!</title>
</HEAD>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000" id=all>

<table border="0" width="100%"><tr>
<td valign="top" align="left"></td>

<td valign="middle" align="center" nowrap>
</td></tr></table>

<a href="javascript:location.reload( )"><FONT SIZE="2" FACE="arial, helvetica">Refresh</font></a>

<table border=0 cellpadding=4 border=0 cellspacing=1 width=100%>
<tr bgcolor="#113274"><TD COLSPAN=2>

<table width="100%" border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr><td align="left" valign="middle">

<FONT SIZE="2" FACE="arial, helvetica" color="#FFFFFF"><B>Online Users</B></font></td>

<td align="right" valign="middle">
<FONT SIZE="2" FACE="arial, helvetica" color="#FFFFFF"><B>Location</B></font></td>

</td></tr></table>

</td></tr>
$whoisonlinebits
</table>

and then one called whoisonlinebit and fill it with:

Code:

<tr><td bgcolor="#C3C3EB"><FONT SIZE="2" FACE="arial, helvetica"><a href="member.php?action=getinfo&userid=$userid">$username</a> <a href="private.php?action=newmessage&toid=$userid" target="_blank"><img src="images/pm1.gif" border=0></img></a></font></td>

<td bgcolor="#AAAAE6"><FONT SIZE="2" FACE="arial, helvetica"><a href="$locationLink" target="_blank">$location</a></font></td>

</tr>

NOTE: If you do not have private messaging installed (why not???!?!) then remove this line:

Code:

<a href="private.php?action=newmessage&toid=$userid" target="_blank"><img src="images/pm1.gif" border=0></img></a>

That should do it! All you have to do is create a link for it such as http://www.baseballboards.com/boards...on=onlineusers and then you'll get a nice list.

I would appreciate help on cleaning / optimizing the code and any URLs that I forgot cases for.

Thanks!!

im gettin a Error if im trying to click the location of a user if he is currently at the Private Messaging:

Database error in vBulletin: Invalid SQL: SELECT msgid,toid,fromid,title,UNIX_TIMESTAMP(datetime)
AS datetime,iconid,text,signature FROM privatercvdmsgid=11 WHERE msgid= AND fromid=1

It seems that the URLs being generated by whoisonline.php are not working as they should be for me. For example, sometimes the weirdest link is thrown out there. I have a link to a specific thread and it takes me to a reply page for that thread. Or... I have a link to a specific thread and it will look for the domain showthread.php as opposed to the file showthread.php on my domain. Have I done something incorrect?

Please advise.

Thanks,
Cygnus

That's great but that doesn't fix my problem and it has added a new one.

I am trying to get one of these links to /forumdisplay.php?forumid=11 and it is taking me to /?forumid=11

The new problem is that the first person listed has no name though they have a location.

For the time being, I am going to pull all of the hrefs out of the code in your hack. I hope that you fix your hack so that it delivers what you said it would. Hacks that don't work are useless. Promises to revise hacks and leaving people hanging for months without so much as a peep on your progress is pretty lame. I don't mean to be a ++++ but as a developer, we already have a shitty enough reputation as slackers that I hate to see that furthered - even if it is among other developers.
