Postbit Modifications...

[Vile]

Hi,
I was wondering how to get the Online or Offline status in the postbit.

I know if I add "$onlinestatus" in the postibt template, it will just show "online" or whatever text I use, but how do I get it to say "offline" in the postbit, like it's setup here at vbb.org?

Thanks.

What is the var , after editing ?

$onlinestatus ??

$onlinestatus shows your Online Status...

So it will either Show Online if you are Online, Away (if you have the Away hack installed), or Offline if you are Offline or Invisible...

Can you post your postbit template?

Because I dont think you can turn off $onlinestatus...

I see that you have the

$onlinestatus

variable there...

You should check that you have some content in the "postbit_online" and "postbit_offline" templates...If they are blank, just revert them and it should work...

Other than that, I dont know what could be wrong...
