Status : Online/Offline/Idle hack !?

[PurpleCow]

Hello,

I was looking for a hack which basically displays a message like

Status : Online
Status : Offline
Status : Idle

in the postbit on thread display page(s) below the

I did a search hre and did find a few hacks, but none of them has this Status : Idle , option.

This Idle option should appear, if a member doesn't click or his window is not active for say 5 mins. And even after 5 mins, if the user doesn't click on any link or say his window is not active, it should change over to Status : Offline.

Is such a hack possible to be done ??If you should have any other ideas for situations as to when a user should be considered IDLE, you could implement in the hack. i would also like these Status options to appear in individual profile page(s).

Thanks for any help.

Cheers

You could try:

and modify the template to your needs.

Other than that I dont recall seeing a hack that does what you requested.

Thanks for the lonk, though.

Hello,

Without the IDLE option, i tried to install the hack for Status : Online and Offline for my boards, but having problems.

This is how I did :

Opened showgroups.php

Replaced all occurances of postbit_online with online
Replaced all occurances of postbit_offline with offline

Saved it back to my forums root directory.

Then Added two new templates :

1. "online" with this code in it :
<smallfont>Status : <B>Online</B></smallfont>

2. "offline" with this code in it :
<smallfont>Status : <B>Offline</B></smallfont>

Then in the "postbit" template, I added this $onlinestatus , where i wanted.

What I actually want to appear in the postbit is
Status : Online for online users &
Status : Offline for offline users

And that is what my two new templates reflect.

But, I am getting an image in the postbit, instead of text, what i wanted. How can i get the text as i mentioned above ??

Thanks for help.

Cheers
