Users Online displayed on main page AND on individual forum indexes?

[KuraFire]

How can I make it so that, at the top of each forum index (where you would see an announcement - right above there, for instance, OR all the way at the bottom, but pref. at the top) it shows all the users and the number of guests that are currently browsing a thread on THAT particular forum?

This is done in UBB right here:

http://www.fantasy-freak.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi <- normal "Who's Online" at the top;

http://www.fantasy-freak.com/cgi-bin...?ubb=forum&f=1 <- Who's Online at the top that applies to that forum ONLY!

I'm sorry if this has been hacked in the past already, I couldn't find it so I figured I'd just ask it.

Help greatly appreciated! ^_^

Basically you need to move the whole blcok of:

PHP Code:

if ($displayloggedin and $permissions['canwhosonline']) {
  $datecut=time()-$cookietimeout;
  ...
  eval("\$loggedinusers = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_loggedinusers')."\";");
} 


from index.php to somewhere in global.php.

Then you might be able to use $totalonline in any of your templates.

If we put it in a thread, will it then also show all the people browsing THAT thread?

btw, thanks a lot for the hack! :up:
(edit: :up: is what I have on my board as the code for the Thumbs up smilie )

No, it will always show the number of members (guest and members) that are right now somewhere on your board.

[KuraFire]

ow..

can't it be done so that it shows the amount of members and guests one -that- particular forum?

(in case you haven't yet, check out the Fantasy Freak links, they show this exactly)
