Quite easily, just find the string in the code, search for "record book" or something, and change it as you requite. Note anything that starts with a $ means its a variable.

Yes, but what do I need to add to display the most visits to the board on any single day?

Ahh so you want to count a total for each day.
Hmmmm idea is simple, but I dont have time to code an example for you sorry.
In simple terms what you need to do it open a file, read in a number and + 1 to it with each visitor you get. At the end of the day you could reset that file to 0. But before resetting in you would need to check it against the 'best days total' and if its bigger overwrite it, otherwise leave it. Id use a pipe dimilted file for an example.
current ppl online | most visitors on any given day
might be
5|34
Sorry I cant be of much more help, but if you are semi familiar with perl you'll be fine. You only need to do basic file open/read functions, simple arithmatic, and number comparisons. Give it a go and if you get stuck I may be able to lend you a hand.

Cheers

Look in online.cgi and search for "Record Book" and you'll find it where you can replace it with that you want.

He want a little more functionality then that Lord, thats what I initially thought. But he would like to add the functionality to add up how many people hit the board a day and display the 'Best Day' total.

Sorry about that BassTeQ, I was dumb enough not to read the whole thread. *Bangs head*

Thanks guys - I thought someone may have thought of this already.

So are you going to give this a go yourself?
We are here to help if you get stuck!

Yeah I can help too. I'm having a look at the code in online.cgi as we speak.

How are you getting on Dexter?

What you could do is Update your Threads and look at the Record Book. It usually resets after you do that so test for me please.

My record book is not reset when I update threads

Has it ever resetted for you before?

# Note this will not log people in PRIVATE forums... if you want it to do that,
# comment out the line with the "if" statement and the line with the "}"

$online_url = "$CGIURL/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=$ForumCoded&number=$number&DaysPrune=$DaysPrune&LastLogin=$LastLogin&site=$SiteCoded";
if ($LWA ne "private") {
&WriteUserSession("<A HREF="$online_url">$Forum</A>");
}

I'm lost, how do you comment it out ?

I thought the WOL did that and just had "Private topic" in Private Forum, or something like that I can't remember.

No it hasn't resetted before Dexter

I wanna know why the record (max number of users) does not stay forever until it hasn't been crossed? The thing keeps on resetting on its own.

Yeah thats a bug. The record book was still in beta when this hack was released.

Dexter, did you or anyone else manage to add a "guests visited today" total to the who's online page?

No I couldn't figure it out...
