Online/Offline - First hack ever..

ok, so people with postbit like
http://www.xtreme-forumz.net/showthr...=&threadid=431

or like this..
http://www.yaxay.com/yack/showthread...&threadid=8084

Usually creates a mess in some other files, like this one..
http://yaxay.com/yack/showgroups.php

See the the status image? for online and offline, its from the postbit, that doesn't look good now does it? so i was looking around and thought of doing this hack

Find this in showgroups.php:

PHP Code:

postbit_offline 

Replace with (all of them):

PHP Code:

offline 

Find this:

PHP Code:

postbit_online 

Replace with (all of them):

PHP Code:

online 

Now create a new template online with the following content:

PHP Code:

<img src="{[b][/b]imagesfolder}/onlineimage.gif" border="0" alt="$post[username] is online" align="absmiddle"> 

Another new template offline with:

PHP Code:

<img src="{[b][/b]imagesfolder}/offlineimage.gif" border="0" alt="$post[username] is offline" align="absmiddle"> 

Live Demo: http://www.xtreme-forumz.net/showgroups.php

You can do this with all your files (.php files) but the template creation only needs to be done just once..

opps my mistake, forgot to replace Offline with online..
First post updated with the fix, and CRego3D can you click install?

you should put:

PHP Code:

{imagesfolder}/onlineimage.gif 

Instead of images/onlineimage.gif
