Users Online Today Mod

[scottws]

at least, scott, something's showing in your forum. in mine (Default Theme, 1.1RC2), the mod was supposedly successfully installed but nothing appears.

Yeah, like I previously posted, I was having the same problem.

For me, it was an issue with permissions.  I was never able to nail down exactly which files and/or directories it was failing on since I got around it by giving read, write, and execute permissions to everyone, and then later making the owner and group of the files and directories the user Apache runs under.

But I have shell and root access to mess around with that sort of thing with ease: it's my server.

[Stuart]

Are there any plans to make this mod available for 1.0.7 by any chance?

You can read my last post which you can find HERE

As the file in that message isn't working anymore you can get if from my server HERE 

[geezmo]

scott, I have VPS and I can basically do the same. But I don't think it's worth it given the fact that this mod is supposedly released and thus should be working perfectly. We need to find what's wrong with the mod so it will be a good, working mod for SMF.

Can I ever get some help for my problem please?

Can I ever get some help for my problem please?

When you installed the package, did it say it was installed successfully and pass all tests?  If so, did it actually appear at the bottom of the board index of the default Core theme?

If not, your problem was in the installation of the mod in the first place.  I believe the code beemer provided was to get this mod to work in the Helios theme as well (after intalling it via the package manager for the default theme).

It sounds like you replaced the wrong portion of code, cut out too much, left too much, or just don't have a proper installation of the mod in the first place.

I would start by restoring a backup of the Default.template.php file, if you have one.

[L.G.S]

The default installation went fine, I know how to see if it did or not.

Want I want to know is how to install it on my theme - Aqua Slate

[scottws]

For someone looking for help, you sure do cop an attitude.

[L.G.S]

You may perceive it as an attitude, but it wasn't posted with one so I'm sorry if you took it that way.

[cyberstang5.0]

just make it so that

Code Select Expand

if($context['user']['is_admin'])
{


is before the mod stuff in the boardindex.template.php of every theme.

Then at the end put

Code Select Expand

}

Should work to only allow admins to see..

Another stupid programing question for ya'll...

How do I get it so admins and moderators (or specific membergroups) see the list but keep it "hidden" from regular users? 

[Vinspire]

Hmm...

It correctly works on the default theme:



But following beemer's instructions to get this mod working on Helios resulted in the same thing Vinspire^ is experiencing:

Scot, did you manage to get a solution for this ? If so kindly instruct me about it on how to solve it. Thanks

[scottws]

Nope. No solution as of yet. I have to look at the code.

[Vinspire]

Nope. No solution as of yet. I have to look at the code.

The code that beemer gave and the code we are using in default theme with clean installation is different code.

I tried using the new code but it came out with an error. So, i am currently using beemer guide.

From where can we download older versions who are compatible with 1.07??
Latest says its only for 1.1 rc2?So it doesnt work on 1.07?? 

[Gobo]

For users of 1.1RC2

I have a hell of a lot of themes installed on my forum and the easiest way to modify the boardindex.template.php file is to simply look for this line:

// If they are logged in, but SP1 style information is off... show a personal message bar.

it occurs in all the themes --- just place the code above it

it works A-OK

I know I have said this before, but since this thread is rather long, I guess most people haven't read all of it. Therefore I will say it again.

There is no version for the 1.0 series from me, for the simple reason that I have never used the 1.0 series.

There is one for 1.1 RC1 and RC2, and there will be one for RC3 and 1.1 Final when they eventually are done.

"Just place the code..."  What code are you referring to?  Beemer's code?

The code I am referring to is this:

Code Select Expand




// Users online today
echo '

<td class="windowbg" width="20" valign="middle" align="center">

</td>
<td class="windowbg2" width="100%">';

echo '
<div class="smalltext">';

echo $context['num_users_online_today'], ' ', $context['num_users_online_today'] == 1 ? $txt['uot_user_online_today'] : $txt['uot_users_online_today'];

// Assuming there ARE users online... each user in users_online has an id, username, name, group, href, and link.
if (!empty($context['users_online_today']))
echo ':<br />', implode(', ', $context['list_users_online_today']);

echo '
<br />', $context['show_stats'] && !$settings['show_sp1_info'] ? '
<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=stats">' . $txt['smf223'] . '</a>' : '', '
</div>
</td>
</tr>';






Important Always remember to make a back-up of your original file before any modifications are made - that way EVEN if something goes wrong you dont have to worry because you can upload the old file and everything will be back to normal

[Gobo]
