Improved Who's Online Display

This hack is pretty straightforward: it provides more detail on the Who's Online? page. Here are some examples:

• Things like "Editing Buddy List" or "Editing Forum Options" are not accompanied by links. "Buddy List" links to the page to edit your own Buddy List, and so on with "Forum Options, "Ignore List," and a few others similar to that.
  
• Instead of "Sending Email to Another Forum User" or "Viewing the Profile of a Forum Member," you'll be told which user it is in both cases, and their username will be a link to their profile.
  
• Most significantly, IMO: no more vague "Sending Private Message" or "Reading Private Message" messages. Now you have the following:
  -- Reading a Private Message
  -- Reading a Private Message From You
  -- Replying to a Private Message
  -- Replying to Your Private Message
  -- Sending a Private Message
  -- Sending a Private Message to You
  
  As you can see, this is much more useful, yet it still protects the basic privacy of each member. Cool, eh?
  
• "Viewing the Results of a Poll" now links you to the results of that poll, and the word "Post" in "Editing Post" is a link to the post being edited.
  
• The word "Attachment in "Viewing Attachmet in Thread Blah Blah Blah" is now a link to the specific attachment being viewed.

That's it, basically. I'm using it on my site: http://www.movieforums.net/online.php

It is *HIGHLY* recommended that you use vBHacker to install this hack, as it involves 14 code edits in one file (online.php)...automating that can save you a lot of time. Attached is an archive containing a vBHacker installation file, as well as a plain text instruction file. Enjoy.

I just realised I was having exactly the same problem as Boofo. Though I couldn't find the line of code to fix mentioned... mine was the same but with " $onlineloc; " at the end? So I just added your fix and left $onlineloc; at the end.

Mine had that on the end, too, probably from another hack. I also left it in.

I went the manual route. I already have so many hacks on WOL I wanted to see what I was changing. As a side benefit I didn't need to do the mod to the global list because it was already there.

TWTCommish,

Did you get a chance to check out the board yet? It still seems to be saying the reading private message thing I wrote about a few posts up. And it did the error on not loading the page again on a refresh, but I didn't catch where it happened at this time, sorry. I'll keep an eye on it and see if I can catch it again. Let me know when you have checked it out. Thanks!

Well done Chris, I love it

hello Guys!!
Ive installed the hack, and all seems to be perfect.
But If someone views the User cp of some other user, and i will klick on the user link in whos online, í get the message "sorry but this user is not registered.
All other links are allright. What can the problem be??
I hope that you understand my bad english. :nervous:

[TWTCommish]

I'm afraid I don't understand. The link titled "User CP" should lead to YOUR User CP...which means you need to be logged in to access it.

Hello Chris, can i send you my code??
Than you can take a look ....
Please

[TWTCommish]

Surely. PM or email it over.

[Kars10]

hello Chris, you got Post.
I´ll send it to privacy@...

Thank you very much.
