Putting the NUMBER of users online on forum on a non-vB page?

[N9ne]

I just want to have something on a webpage which is not in my forum's directory, which will say: XX Users online in forum!

How do I grab that number?

[Dean C]

Stick this code somewhere on the page maybe?

PHP Code:

$activeusers = "";
$loggedinusers = "";
if ($displayloggedin) {
  $datecut=time()-$cookietimeout;

  $loggedins=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS sessions FROM session WHERE userid=0 AND lastactivity>$datecut");
  $numberguest=$loggedins['sessions'];

  $numbervisible=0;
  $numberregistered=0;

  $loggedins=$DB_site->query("SELECT DISTINCT session.userid,username,invisible,usergroupid
                              FROM session
                              LEFT JOIN user ON (user.userid=session.userid)
                              WHERE session.userid>0 AND session.lastactivity>$datecut
                              ORDER BY invisible ASC, username ASC");
  if ($loggedin=$DB_site->fetch_array($loggedins)) {
    $numberregistered++;
    if ($loggedin['invisible']==0 or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==6) {
      $numbervisible++;
      $userid = $loggedin['userid'];
      if ($loggedin['invisible'] == 1) { // Invisible User but show to Admin
        $invisibleuser = '*';
      } else {
        $invisibleuser = '';
      }
      if ($loggedin['usergroupid'] == 6 and $highlightadmin) {
        $username = "<b><i>$loggedin[username]</i></b>";
      } else if (($mod["$userid"] or $loggedin['usergroupid'] == 5) and $highlightadmin) {
        $username = "<b>$loggedin[username]</b>";
      } else {
                                $username = $loggedin['username'];
                        }
      eval("\$activeusers = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_loggedinuser')."\";");
    }

    while ($loggedin=$DB_site->fetch_array($loggedins)) {
      $numberregistered++;
      $invisibleuser = '';
      if ($loggedin['invisible']==1 and $bbuserinfo['usergroupid']!=6) {
        continue;
      }
      $numbervisible++;
      $userid=$loggedin['userid'];
      if ($loggedin['invisible'] == 1) { // Invisible User but show to Admin
        $invisibleuser = '*';
      }
      if ($loggedin['usergroupid'] == 6 and $highlightadmin) {
            $username = "<b><i>$loggedin[username]</i></b>";
                        } else if (($mod["$userid"] or $loggedin['usergroupid'] == 5) and $highlightadmin) {
                                $username = "<b>$loggedin[username]</b>";
                        } else {
                                $username = $loggedin['username'];
                        }
      eval("\$activeusers .= \", ".gettemplate('forumhome_loggedinuser')."\";");
    }
  }
  $DB_site->free_result($loggedins);

  $totalonline=$numberregistered+$numberguest;
  $numberinvisible=$numberregistered-$numbervisible;

  $maxusers=explode(" ", gettemplate('maxloggedin',0,0));
  if ((int)$maxusers[0] <= $totalonline) {
    $time = time();
    $maxloggedin = "$totalonline " . $time;
    $DB_site->query("UPDATE template SET template='$maxloggedin' WHERE title='maxloggedin'");
    $maxusers[0] = $totalonline;
    $maxusers[1] = $time;
  }
  $recordusers = $maxusers[0];
  $recorddate = vbdate($dateformat,$maxusers[1]);
  $recordtime = vbdate($timeformat,$maxusers[1]);
  eval("\$loggedinusers = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_loggedinusers')."\";"); 


Take from index.php

You need global.php too though...

Would using phpinclude to include global.php then use that code work?

[Dean C]

Of course you have to include global.php

But do it in the file and not the phpinclude template

- miSt

[N9ne]

obviously not the php include template

[MUG]

You could:
1) include() config.php
2) connect to the database
3) SELECT count(*) as count FROM session

I don't know much PHP/sql...could you tell me how to do this?

[MUG]

PHP Code:

<?php
require('path/to/config.php');
$db = mysql_connect($servername,$dbusername,$dbpassword) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error());

unset($servername,$dbusername,$dbpassword,$dbname);

$query = mysql_query("SELECT count(*) as count FROM session WHERE lastactivity > ". (time()-3600) ) or die(mysql_error()); //one hour
list($num_online) = mysql_fetch_array($query);
mysql_free_result($query);

mysql_close($db);

echo $num_online;
?>

[N9ne]

Is the 3600 in there the timeout? Say if I have timeout set at 900 seconds on my forums, would I change it to 900 in that code?

[MUG]

Yup.
