I'd like to add something on my topic pages which allows users to see if someone is online or not. Kinda like the Online/Offline status hack for v5 but it works like Status: Online or Offline. Anyone interested? Thanks.

I would also like to see this hack..
I would have an attempt at this myself, but would prefer it if someone who knew what they were doing more than me did this one..

I was thinking along the lines of putting it next to:
Posts: - | From: - | Registered: - | IP: Logged

So it would look like:
Posts: - | From: - | Registered: - | IP: Logged | Status: Online

Or, alternatively, having it below the member number..

Yeah I've got a smiliar idea OK.

C'mon guys. Are you telling me all the gifted hackers at UBBDEV can't come up with ONLINE/OFFLINE status hack?

We (the little guys) are always depending on you big-time hackers. Let me know when you come up with one. Version 5 had it, why wouldn't Version 6.3 have one?

thanks for the great service.

I have no idea how to do this but there are a couple hacks that know if you're online...IM being one of them. It shouldn't be difficult for some of the seasoned hackers to come up with the code.

It does seem to me though that the UBB would have to determine the status of each person on every topic page for each person opening a thread.

Yosaid - I don't do v5-v6 porting.

Xpert - Good idea, IM hack could proove useful.

That's a great idea, like on the memberlist mod , you see who is online on the board, maybe that can be implemented in the forum topics.

Memberlist even has this online code. I think I can transfer this onto topic pages.

EDIT - Maybe not, few things I tried didn't work.

I see this as a cache killer.

...This file here -> http://ivegeta.hypermart.net/online.txt should work, but won't update until the topic is updated or your change styles or clear cache etc....

I never been good with the cache, so if anyone who does wants to take this and work with it, be my guest.

So that won't work if you try to refresh?
If the PM Inbox hack updates via a refresh, isn't it possible for this to do the same thing?

I'm not for sure since i can't test it out.

The pm inbox deals with messing with the cookies. I don't see how we could incorporate cookies into this kind of hack where it deals with many topics.

i don't know.. you never know until you try

Nothing shows at all at the moment..
Thanks for trying though..

I think there needs to be more code added to ubb_lib_posting.cgi. I am going to mess around with this code later so I'll report back if I have found a way.

I've searched the 6.0 forums over and I haven't found that hack anywhere. What topic is it in?

its on e@sy's forum, he never posted it here, i know it is caused i had it on s:c

Is it still there? I can't seem to find it.

I don't remember that hack existing.

Well it did, because we had it on S:C.

Anyway, we have to have somebody help us with the Online/Offline status for this version. Brett's one doesn't work.

I don't know if it helps, but here is the 6.1 version of the hack that I found..

Hopefully something can be done with this code to make it read from the Recent Visitors instead of Who's Online..
