Custom "User Location" for Who's Online

[KGodel]

Hey all! I am trying to add locations for custom pages (mods) I am using that have different pages using one file, i.e. pages.php?pageid=1 is different than pages.php?pageid=6. Currently, I have the following code:

First Plugin Hook Location: online_location_process

PHP Code:

if ($filename == 'pages.php') {
    switch ($_GET['pageid']) {
        case 1:
        case 2:
        case 3:
        case 4:
        case 5:
        case 6:
        case 7:
        case 8:
        case 9:
        case 10:
        case 11:
        case 12:
        case 13:
        case 14:
        case 16:
        case 17:
            $userinfo['activity'] = 'ltc';
            break;
        case 15:
        case 20:
            $userinfo['activity'] = 'rosters';
            break;
        case 18:
            $userinfo['activity'] = 'finances';
            break;
        default:
            $userinfo['activity'] = 'pages';
            break;
    }
}
elseif ($filename == 'forms.php') {
    switch ($_GET['fid']) {
        case 1:
            $userinfo['activity'] = 'form_complaint';
            break;
        case 2:
            $userinfo['activity'] = 'newapp';
            break;
        case 3:
            $userinfo['activity'] = 'appeal';
            break;
        case 4:
            $userinfo['activity'] = 'goapp';
            break;
        case 5:
            $userinfo['activity'] = 'poapp';
            break;
        case 6:
            $userinfo['activity'] = 'dlapp';
            break;
        case 7:
            $userinfo['activity'] = 'offteam';
            break;
        case 8:
            $userinfo['activity'] = 'eaapp';
            break;
        case 9:
            $userinfo['activity'] = 'adminreq';
            break;
        case 10:
            $userinfo['activity'] = 'joapp';
            break;
        case 12:
            $userinfo['activity'] = 'awardnom';
            break;
        case 14:
            $userinfo['activity'] = 'moapp';
            break;
        case 15:
            $userinfo['activity'] = 'webreq';
            break;
        case 16:
            $userinfo['activity'] = 'gaapp';
            break;
        case 17:
            $userinfo['activity'] = 'unoffteam';
            break;
        case 18:
            $userinfo['activity'] = 'expreq';
            break;
        default:
            $userinfo['activity'] = 'forms';
            break;
    }
} 

Second Plugin Hook Location: online_location_unknown

PHP Code:

switch ($userinfo['activity']) {

        $userinfo['action'] = 'Viewing the Leadership Training Center';
        $handled = true;

        $userinfo['action'] = 'Submitting a User Comaplint';
        $handled = true;
        break;
    case 'newapp':
        $userinfo['action'] = 'Applying to the Clan';
        $handled = true;
        break;
    case 'appeal':
        $userinfo['action'] = 'Submitting an Appeal';
        $handled = true;
        break;
    case 'goapp':
        $userinfo['action'] = 'Applying for GO';
        $handled = true;
        break;
    case 'poapp':

        $userinfo['where'] = '';

        break;

        $handled = true;
        break;
    case 'offteam':
        $userinfo['action'] = 'Applying for an Official Team';
        $handled = true;
        break;
    case 'eaapp':
        $userinfo['action'] = 'Applying for EA';
        $handled = true;
        break;
    case 'adminreq':
        $userinfo['action'] = 'Submitting an Admin Request';
        $handled = true;
        break;
    case 'joapp':
        $userinfo['action'] = 'Applying for JO';
        $handled = true;
        break;
    case 'awardnom':
        $userinfo['action'] = 'Nominating a Member for an Award';

        $userinfo['action'] = 'Submitting Web Content';
        $handled = true;
        break;
    case 'gaapp':
        $userinfo['action'] = 'Applying for GA';
        $handled = true;
        break;
    case 'unoffteam':
        $userinfo['action'] = 'Applying for an Unofficial Team';
        $handled = true;
        break;
    case 'expreq':
        $userinfo['action'] = 'Submitting an Expansion Request';
        $handled = true;
        break;
    case 'forms':
        $userinfo['action'] = 'Viewing Forms';
        $handled = true;
        break;
    case 'pages':
        $userinfo['action'] = 'Viewing Custom Page';
        $handled = true;
        break;
} 

Currently, for both cases it only recognized the default cast of the switch. My $_GET doesn't seem to be passing the variable to the code, so I am unable to differentiate. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hmm...I'm not very familiar with that area, but I don't know why what you're doing wouldn't work. But, I see that the rest of the code in that function seems to work with the $userinfo['location'] string and splits the parameters into a $values array, so maybe try doing a switch on $values['pageid'] instead.

[KGodel]

And just like that, kh99 does it again. changing from $_GET to $values worked like a charm. You're the best mate!

Edit, you seem to help me so much I can't even like you post, but I really appreciate your help!

[kh99]

Glad you got it working. FWIW I realized (I think) why $_GET didn't work - I think that hook is executed when someone else is displaying what the user is doing, not when your pages.php script is executed, so $_GET wouldn't be set at that point.

[KGodel]

Yea that makes sense. I also wasnt sure whether it would be getting it since it was being executed on a different page as well, but the examples I saw elsewhere of people doing this used get, so I tried the same. Good to know though!
