Can somebody please explain how I can make the custom page show up in Currently Active Users? I read in this thread that you have to use plugins or hooks to accomplish this feat but I have no idea how I would go about it. Can anyone tell me specifically what code to add and where so that when you look on Current Active Users page you will see <custom page name> as the location users viewing the custom page are looking at?

Thank you!

This question has been covered in other articles and also out in the General vBulletin Discussions forum several times. I'll post the code here, if you need further help, you should post out there.

hook online_location_process:
Code:

PHP Code:


			
switch ($filename)
{
    case 'mypage.php':
        $userinfo['activity'] = 'mypage';
        break;
// add more cases here if you have more than one custom page. no need for multiple plugins. one plugin can handle all.
}

hook online_location_unknown
Code:

PHP Code:


			
switch ($userinfo['activity'])
{
    case 'mypage':
        $userinfo['where'] = '<a href="mypage.php?'.$vbulletin->session->vars[sessionurl].'">My Page</a>';
        $userinfo['action'] = "Viewing My Page";
        $handled = true;
        break;
// add more cases here if you have more than one custom page. no need for multiple plugins. one plugin can handle all.
}

Thank you but can you please tell me where to put that code?

Lynne · #**920** 12-22-2008, 05:31 PM

I did. Reread my post - I have the hook locations specified.

Chunky Monkey · #**921** 12-22-2008, 05:48 PM

I see. I didn't realize I had to go to Manage Plugins and create a new plugin. I've followed your instructions but the location is reading Unknown common/lists.css. Any idea as to why that might be happening?

I have no idea since I can't see exactly what you did for the two plugins. Like I said before, if you need further help you should post in the correct forum - this thread isn't really about the Who's Online locations.

Thanks, I'll post my question in the General Discussion forum.

Ok, this is excellent info, I've tried to read most of this thread but I'm sure i have missed this somewhere. I am trying to create a page within a directory within my forum directory (forum is at /var/www/html/forum, directory is at /var/www/html/forum/directory). I added the

Code:

chdir('/var/www/html/forum/');

and my page is showing up, mostly. The problem I am having is my header, navbar, or footer are not showing up on my page??? Do I need to change a path in my Template, or??? If I create a test page in my forum directory everything works fine, so I'm sure I'm just missing something simple. Any help would be appreciated. ...and sorry if this has already been answered

Thanks

supergper, in your template, put

Code:

$header
$navbar


$footer

at the appropriate place.

I've already got them. Here is my template:

Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle]</title>
$headinclude
</head>
<body>
$header

$navbar



$footer
</body>
</html>

Like i said, if I put my page in the directory with my forum, it works fine, however if it's one directory deeper, forum/directory/, then my header, navbar, and footer don't show.

do the chdir before you include/require global.php

supergper · #**928** 12-23-2008, 07:25 AM

It's already there. Here is my php file (I've named it index.php and my template is named GrandTech)

Code:

<?php

// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'index'); // change this depending on your filename

// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array(

);

// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array(
    
);

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array(
    'GrandTech',
);

// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array(

);

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
chdir('/var/www/html/forum/');
require_once('./global.php');

// #######################################################################
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
// #######################################################################

$navbits = array();
$navbits[$parent] = 'Grand Tech';

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('GrandTech') . '");');

?>

Try to call it somethingelse.php and put it in the forum directory and comment out the chdir and see if it works. If it does, then the problem because of the changed directory.

I am fully aware it's because of the changed directory, I'm trying to figure out how to rectify that

Get rid of the ending slash:

PHP Code:


			
chdir('/var/www/html/forum');
