The who's online...

[GameCrash]

What is this? (FireFlys location)

[silence]

Wrong Forum bro.

[GameCrash]

Why?

[silence]

This forum is for critiques on forum design and such. Your post should be in the general chat, or the lounge.

[GameCrash]

Yes, I see... sorry I only read the headline and interpreted it as comments about THIS forum ;)

[silence]

Anyways, he has it set so that it says that for all users. So for me it says the same thing, but my name.

[GameCrash]

Is this a hack or a 2.2.0 option?

[Chen]

That's a little mod to online.php, not part of v2.2. :)

I can post the code here if you wish.

[GameCrash]

No need, thank you ;) I was just wondering...

[Bane]

I wouldnt mind it :p

[mSoul01]

[Syphin]

aah! thats awesome.. ^^ uh... But it shows that for one of my guests.. O.o not supposed to is it? lol

grr.... Now it wont work no matter what i do... >_< lol

-Syphin

[Chen]

Ok I updated my last post, add the added code. :)
I have that on my online.php by default so I thought you also do. :china:

[Syphin]

Thank you... ^^ works great now... :p
Oh, and should that code have been in my file? O.o :lost:

-Syphin

[Chen]

No, but I got some custom things going on in my file so I had to add that line. :)

[LanciaStratos]

Very cool. Thanks FireFly!

[Princeton]

Make your life easier ...
You can use replacements to replace the inserted text. This comes in handy when you get bored of what you have displayed.
For example, under Replacements (Admin cp) > add custom replacement > give it a name > insert the text you want.

[Lesane]

Neat @ Cool, thanks firefly

[tbloom2002]

Could you also modify it to include that text for all moderators and admins? (I mean with one line of code instead of adding every username?) :)

[Psychdrone]

wait what dose this ezactly do,

I can't tell?

[DarkReaper]

Maybe you could make a small hack that allowed easy addition of custom text for certain users. That'd be a cool priviledged "service" at my forums :)

[Dalius]

Is their a way for Admins to over-ride this and see where other admins are?

[Warlord]

Ahhhh that had me confused for a minute, but thanks for replying to my PM Firefly :)

[StarBuG]

Muahahahaha!!

I love it!!

[cyrus]

[cyrus]

My username is

/\

and it gives me a parse error when I put that instead of your name forefly in the mod I make to online.php

what should i do :(

[Chen]

I think you better install this as a real hack, Moonwolf posted it a few days ago. :)

[midnightz]

Cool as always :)

[Wifey]

Any chance of updating this for vB3.0.0?

[Fluous]

Yeh, I just tried this and it doesn't work for 3. Because it can't find any of the lines.

[Ryan Ashbrook]

You gotta change it according to vB3's coding style.

[Wifey]

You up for that Ryan? Anyone up for fixing it accordingly?

[Ben`]

ill give it a go at fixing it

[Ryan Ashbrook]

You up for that Ryan? Anyone up for fixing it accordingly?
I know how to do it, it's just where to put the code.

[Wifey]

Great Ben`! I look forward to seeing what you have! Same goes for you Ryan :) I'm excited for whoever can fix it!

[Merjawy]

I know how to do it, it's just where to put the code.


can you post the code and let me try to figure out where to insert it?

anyone else got anything going yet? I miss that hack

[Rich]

Hello,

I have this working on my site, and I am running 3.0.5. This is how I did it.

In INCLUDES / function_online.php find:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



Below that add:




Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



(Change the userid to match your userid. Default is 1)

In the same file, now find:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



Below that add:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

You can change "Just monitoring HC to whatever you like. The $bbuserinfo[username] inserts the name of which ever member is viewing it.

Save the edits and upload.

This is a screenshot of how it appears on my site.
