Ok, I have this hack set up the way vbulletin.org has it installed, so that it shows the users browsing a forum in the forum description. On the forumhome page (the main page) i.e.

http://www.superherochat.com/vb

the "(1 user browsing)" etc aligns to the right in the forum description. This is the way I want it.

However when I go into subforums, i.e.

http://www.superherochat.com/vb/foru...php?forumid=10

the "(1 users browsing)" doesn't align to the right in the forum description. I've used the same code in both instances, why does it not work in the subforums?

May u share your code for the forumhome ... it doesn't work for me ... pleaze

Thx
Ihsahn

Works great, thx neo!

FWC,

I had to rework this a little to get it to still have the full box mouse-over, but I figured it out and it works great, thanks!

Now, I know this is a little off topic, but if you can do this, then moving the "Report this Post to Moderator" and "IP Logged" to the bottom of the message box, should be easy for you. How about it?

<normalfont><b>$forum[title]</b></normalfont></a>
	<br><smallfont>$forum[description]</smallfont></td>

and change it to something like this:

<td bgcolor="{ firstaltcolor }">
<table width=100% cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td align="left">
<a href="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]"><normalfont><b>$forum[title]</b></normalfont></a></td>
<td width="35%" align="right" valign="top">
<smallfont>($browsers members browsing)</smallfont></td>
</tr>
<td colspan="2">
<smallfont>$forum[description]</smallfont>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>

Don't forget to remove the spaces around firstaltcolor.

I took the easy way out. I replaced the links with images and moved them to the bottom of the post bit next to the Edit and Quote buttons.

I know, I thought of doing that myself, but wouldn't it make you feel good just to do it so you can say you did it? (Is any of this working in my favor?)

[desi]

The template for forumhome_forumbit_level2_post should look like this for it to appear the same way vbulletin.org has it set up...

<tr align="center">
	<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}" valign="top"><img src="{imagesfolder}/$forum[onoff].gif" border="0" alt=""></td>
	<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}">
<table width=100% cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td align="left">
<a href="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]"><normalfont><b>$forum[title]</b></normalfont></a></td>
<td width="35%" align="right" valign="top">
<smallfont>($count members browsing)</smallfont></td>
</tr>
<td colspan="2">
<smallfont>$forum[description]</smallfont>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
	<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}"><normalfont>$forum[replycount]</normalfont></td>
	<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><normalfont>$forum[threadcount]</normalfont></td>
	<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}"><smallfont>$forum[lastpostinfo]</smallfont></td>
	<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><smallfont>$forum[moderators]</smallfont></td>
</tr>

[desi]

will try it out right now thankx

I feel stupid for even asking this, but what template do you edit to have this display in the subforums? I tried to put it in the forumhome_forumbit_level1_post but it didn't show up in the subforums. :nervous:

Question - In subforums, I added the same code as I did for the main page..
<code>
<td bgcolor="#13486D">
<table width=100% cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td align="left">
<a href="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]"><normalfont><b>$forum[title]</b></normalfont></a></td>
<td width="35%" align="right" valign="top">
<smallfont>($browsers members browsing)</smallfont></td>
</tr>
<td colspan="2">
<smallfont>$forum[description]</smallfont>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</code>

But the Members browsing appears exactly right after the forum description, so if the forum has no description, it is almost all the way over to the left.

Also.. none of the forums are picking up any members in them

Take a look and tell me what I'm doing wrong...

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For some reason it doesn't work right in the sub-forums. I couldn't tell you why, I tried everything I could think of to make it work, but couldn't so I only have it installed on the main page....

and desi... to fix it, just do the opposite of what you did to cause that error.

[Boofo]

Chen,

Do you know of a way of doing this on the subforums, too? (If anyone could do it, you could)

[Wildthinks]

is there a possibility to count how many guests are in the forum? I have read the "Left Join", but the query is not complete ...any hints?

[Warlord]

I believe that was discussed somewhere in this thread (sorry don't know what page). I think it was Firefly who said you can't do it.

And I don't know if you can do the # of users in the subforum listings, as you can see Firefly hasn't done it here at vbulletin.org, and if it were possible I would think he'd be the one who'd know how to do it...

That's just what I said above. Just because it isn't done here on vb.org, doesn't mean it can't be done. Firefly doesn't run every hack available here.
