# of users in forum on forumhome

Ok here it is.. I have seen a few requests for it... so here it is.

Info:
What it does is show the number users in a forums on your forum home / main page.


Install Info:
2 File Adds
6 template edits


Thats it. I will post images below if you need an idea of what it looks like

Here is the new version of it. " Thanks Chen :bunny: "
The first file will be posted below it you need to unistall or would like to use it O__O

Hmm ... maybe it doesn't look for the user, but for unique hosts or something?

[scottct1]

Does this hack show only the regsitered members browsing or does it include guests as well?

If it includes guests I will click install.

[NTLDR]

Only registered members, you have to wait till vB3 for guests

[ExcErr]

yeah, GUEST ADDON will be very nice...
because i have more guests, than users online........

[Tim Wheatley]

Is it possible that I could install this so only admins/mods can view the counts?

[cka]

Hmm, maybe a good idea for a 'x members, y guests viewing forum' style on this hack would be to add a new column to the sessions table and modify admin/sessions.php... In fact, I think I'll mess around with it and try to get it set up like that.

But all in all, this is a pretty dope hack. Looking forward to getting it working later today.

Clicks install and tries it.
Thanks for the great hack

Well Neo, if you don't mind I have a addition to that hack. It will say "1 users" how it is, but I added a little bit and now it will say "1 user" and then "2 users" respectively.

I'll post if, but if you won't allow it then I will remove it.

Instead of add this:

PHP Code:

        global $forumbrowsers;
        $count = $forumbrowsers[$forum['forumid']];
        if (intval($count) < 1) {
            $count = 0;
        } 


Add this for the correct term for 1 user:

PHP Code:

        global $forumbrowsers;
        $count = $forumbrowsers[$forum['forumid']];
                $s = 's';
        if (intval($count) < 1) {
            $count = 0;
        }
        if (intval($count) == 1) {
            $s = '';
        } 


That's in both forumdisplay.php and index.php
Then you have to change the counter to something like this:

($count user$s browsing)

in the right template.
Hope you like

Better change code

PHP Code:

        if (intval($count) == 1) { 


to:

PHP Code:

if (intval($count) == 0 OR intval($count) == 1) { 


btw Great hack! also does working on vb 2.2.7

This seems like a very easy install. How ever I can't find this
<td bgcolor="#006633"><smallfont color="#FFCC00"><b>Threads</b></smallfont></td> in the forumhome template. You said look there or where it might be find.

Where else could it be. Please Help

[Kedmyster]

maybe it's a little late but can someone please post the whole code for the ($browsing the forum) - or something like that.
everything is screwed. I did it once but it screwed the forum so I don't want to try it again without having the right instructions.

Thanks.

[KaiN6993]

works for 2.2.8, is there a way to make it show user id instread of number of users?

[MetroSports82]

Anyone know how I could set this up, where it would show # of users in thread on forum display? that would be real cool IMO. Thanks,

Metro.

[Snapperhaed]

A great hack, thanks! Got it working on v2.3 #3

Suggestion: There is so much good information in this thread, that it outdates the actual initial posting. Because of that, a newbie (such as myself) can pretty much get lost. (I did but managed to survive, lol) - Maybe someone can update it with what the actual best hack is (and complete (most efficent) hack).

[SavgeDusk]

I hope Neo doesn't mind me adding a revised version of this hack here. All credit to him, FireFly, & Orlandu for the coding in the revised version. I just take credit for the template edits, because I didn't use the ones posted or in the original file. ^^; I'll add a demo of what it looks like in another post.

Here's the file, I installed it on the vB 2.3.0 Candidate 3 btw. :]

[SavgeDusk]

And this is what it looks like.
