display text in whos online but not in online.php

[davidallsop]

I want to display some text next to the 'Most users ever online was x, 20th January 2008 at 12:53 PM.' text on the index page but do not want it to appear on the /online.php page.

I have written this code but it is showing nothing when implemented into the online phrase: -

Most users ever online was {1}, {2} at {3}.

<?  
$url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; 

if($url == 'online.php')
	{ 
	echo "front";
	}
else
	{
	echo " | <font color=#045CA7>Administrators</font> | <font color=#55932F>Moderators</font> | <font color=#CD54C1>Premium Members</font> 
| Members";}
?>

What am i doing wrong?

Where are you putting that code? I do something similar on my site but I just edited the FORUMHOME template to add it in.

[davidallsop]

this was inside the phrase manager for the most users online.

What have you got

<? and ?>

in the php file? Surely the file starts with those tags so no need to re-include them.

[Lynne]

Can you have php code within a phrase? Have you ever done that before? (I am really not sure here.)

[davidallsop]

im not sure - any suggestions?

[Lynne]

Well, you could just edit the template. I put this before the most ever online phrase text:

<span style="float:$stylevar[right]">My Extra Stuff</span>

If you don't want to do a template edit, I suppose you could do a 'fake' template edit by using a plugin to do a preg_replace... maybe... I'm not sure I would go about it that way though.

[davidallsop]

What template is that? and will that change it on just the index or also on the whos online page?

Edit the FORUMHOME template...

AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Edit Templates > Forum Home Templates > FORUMHOME.
