Ok, this is definantly beta, but appears to be working. So, I'm gonna release it as beta since I hate documething stuff and answering tons of questions.

Get the hack here: http://www.arlo.net/ubb/whoonline.txt

If this thing works, it might just be one of the better hacks around at the moment

I'll try it and give you guys some feedback

It's a very good hack!!

It doesn't work for me ;((
Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
It always says 'no one else is online'.

Thanks in advance.

I'll test it out for the older versions. 5.39b. Lets see if this bad boy will work.

One thing to note... it remove's YOUR name from the list when you view it. So, if you are the only one around, you will see "there is no one else around". Other people will see you though...

If you would like it to show your name remove the following line from the "GetOnlineUsers" subroutine:

if ($name eq $cookie{'UserName'}) { next; }

I'm hoping you come through Atom911. Since releases after 5.42 had some major cookie code changes and consolidation, I'm unsure it will work. I have too many hacks to start over so soon with 5.45 coming out. If 5.45 doesn't get many features I may stay with 5.42 a little longer.

BTW, I just noticed all the light bulbs stay on for me on this board...Cookie related?

Dave's light bulbs work okay though.

Yea I added it to this board also. It seem like there is no bugs at the moment. Music Global Network why don't you make a backup of ubblibery.pl and try it to see if it will work. It should just replace the admin cookie section with what it has. It is the same but modtifyed version of the cookie section as 5.44. It shouldn't be a problem.

I think I got it to work in 5.42. I had to keep the existing get cookie subroutine though. See it in action here!

Strangely enough I can't find the get_cookie routine in ubb_library (5.43a)

Could it work for freeware????


and the arlo.net link is broken

For people who have got 5.43 or lower. Try editing in cookie-lib.

Thanks for the tip Slasher

I wonder if I even need it in ubb_library for version 5.42 now?

sounds really cool!

can't wait to play around with this

Okay, now the fun part. Where should the code be added for the forumdisplay.cgi? Any ideas?

BTW, I found this cool icon that seems to fit this hack perfect... <IMG SRC="http://thedam.com/cwm/smile/cwm/thinkerg.gif" border=0>

Michael,

I have mine right after the following code in 5.44 (not sure if other versions are the same):



and here is what I added in right after it:



This will not write them to the file if they are browsing a private forum. I did this because of the addon script I'm working on which will display where in the forums they are (using the info you pass to the WriteUserSession routine), and I don't want people knowing who has access to private forums.

Dave,

Version 5.42 has that code. I added what you suggested above. Thanks, this script is great! Can't wait until the addon script is ready.

Works on 5.3* versions too

Having a problem with this hack in version 5.40... I changed everything in the Ultimate.cgi like you said, and made the changes to cookie-lib instead of ubb_library.pl (since my version doesn't have the get_cook sub in the ubb_library.pl). However, when I load ultimate.cgi, it gives me no message at all. The column is made, and it says "users currently online", but there is no message saying that people or online or not.

Also, I noticed that no online.cgi file was made in my members directory.

Any idea what might be going on? Thanks.
