Who's online on non-vB page (with usernames, same rules as Who's Online on forumhome)

PLEASE CLICK ON THE INSTALL BUTTON IF YOU INSTALLED THIS! THANKS!

What does this hack do?

Using this hack, you can show who is currently on your forums from anywhere else on your website! The page, though, must be a PHP page.

If you want to display this information on another webpage by integrating it (which you'll probably want to ), just put

PHP Code:

<?php require_once("online.php"); ?>

or

PHP Code:

<?php

require_once("online_external.php");

?>

depending on the location of the online.php file

THE BELOW IS ONLY IF YOU ARE USING ONLINE.PHP

If you are using online.php, then this line of code MUST be at the top of the page!

If you don't want to show the total users online at the top of the page, though, then remove

PHP Code:

print $show; 


and copy that to wherever you want to show the info instead (remember to surround this with PHP tags, such as:

PHP Code:

<?php

print $show;

?>

THE ABOVE IS ONLY IF YOU ARE USING ONLINE.PHP

Features

• supports phrases!
• option to display either usernames or a total number of registered members instead
• only administrators can see users who choose to be invisible

Instructions

Download the attached online.php if you want to show invisible users to administrators, etc., or download online_external.php if you don't want to worry as much about things , and follow these instructions:

1. Find
   PHP Code:

   $path = "./vb3/"; // path to your forums folder, normally /forum/ 

   , change the ./vb3/ to whatever the path is to your forums directory
2. Find
   PHP Code:

   $showusernames = 0; // 1 to show usernames online, 0 to only show the number of users online 

   and change $showusernames to 1 if you want to display usernames, instead of the total number of registered members browsing

That's it!

It works, but everything is crammed in. How can I fix this?

works great but i already have a require for my image upload script.

require_once("show_image.php");
require_once("online.php");

doesn't work together. is there any work around to this?

Just remove the 'print' line from the online.php file and then put that wherever you want this list of online users to show up

I want the code to tell me how many people are on my entire site, not just VB.

What code would I put in my PHP files to tell VB that people are not signed on (or are) and that they are looking at those pages?

That way my entire site will have this script tell me how many people are on my site in absolute total!

[Gary King]

Use

PHP Code:

<?php require_once('./forum/global.php'); ?>

in every file (for the vB global.php file)

[JAB Creations]

Well now I've figured out what is wrong...

There are two things I want to do at once and I can at the moment only do either or.

This one will show me where users are when I goto the whose online? page.
<?php chdir("/home/jabcreat/public_html/community");
require_once('global.php'); ?>

This will display how many users are online, but NOT others on no-VB pages.
<?php chdir("/home/jabcreat/public_html/community");
require_once("online_external.php");?>

The problem is, you're either on VB and CANT see how many are on....
OR
You're NOT on VB but you CAN see how many people are on....

When I attempt to use both I recieve the following error...

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare iif() (previously declared in /home/jabcreat/public_html/community/includes/functions.php:318) in /home/jabcreat/public_html/community/online_external.php on line 10

So how do I get over my current comprimise?

[skinvb]

i want it show on sidebar how can i do that?
i add

<table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" style="width:100%">
	<tr align="center">
		<td class="thead"><span class="smallfont"><b>Online</b></span></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td class="alt1">
<?php 

print $show; 

?> 
<?php 

require_once("online_external.php"); 

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

but it doesn't work

I am hoping Gary King is still around *crosses fingers*
Gary, any idea why I am getting the following results?
Members online: 00, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0. Guests online: 26.

I tried to play with a few of the options, but I cant figure it out

[Baptizer]

Anyone else have a wild guess as to why this is occurring?

[jugo]

SKINVB

You have to
require the script first
then print show

I hope you understand that.

Baptizer....

I got the same thing...my solution...don't use online_external.php.

Instead use online.php

It took me a little bit but it worked...

ceck it out in my footer.
