This is how you fix your Online Users when using vBadvanced

Based off of Lionel's hack here:
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=137815

We are going to add 3 plugins in the admin control panel.

Go to:
Admin CP > Plugins & Products

Step 1:

- Add New Plugin
- "Product" = vBulletin or vbAdvanced (doesn't really matter)
- "Hook Location" = online_location_pre-process
- "Title" = Online Users Fix 1 (or anything, its just a description)
- "Execution Order" = 6 (steps 1-3 need to execute in sequence)
- Edit the following code and put it into the PHP Code field

if ($loc == '/forum/vbadvanced_home.php' OR $loc == 'vbadvanced_home.php')
{
$filename = 'vbadvanced_home.php';
}

vbadvanced_home.php is the custom filename I have for the main vbadvanced page

- push save


Step 2:


- Add New Plugin
- "Product" = vBulletin or vbAdvanced (doesn't really matter)
- "Hook Location" = online_location_process
- "Title" = Online Users Fix 2 (or anything, its just a description)
- "Execution Order" = 7 (steps 1-3 need to execute in sequence)
- Edit the following code and put it into the PHP Code field

if ($filename == 'vbadvanced_home.php')
{
$userinfo['activity'] = 'vbadvanced';
}

vbadvanced_home.php is the custom filename I have for the main vbadvanced page. vbadvanced is just a description we will be using later

- push save


Step 3:

- Add New Plugin
- "Product" = vBulletin or vbAdvanced (doesn't really matter)
- "Hook Location" = online_location_unknown
- "Title" = Online Users Fix 3 (or anything, its just a description)
- "Execution Order" = 8 (steps 1-3 need to execute in sequence)
- Edit the following code and put it into the PHP Code field

if ($userinfo['activity'] == 'vbadvanced')
{
$userinfo['where'] = '<a href="/forum/vbadvanced_home.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'].'">Home</a>';
$userinfo['action'] = "Viewing Home Page";
$handled = true;
}

Here your using the description we set in step 2, putting a description for what the user is looking at, and putting a link below that description for the user to visit the same place.

- push save

Sorry to resurrect a thread here, but in case you're still around (or another viewer with any ideas), I was wondering if there are any reasons why the following isn't returning any value in the actual URL:

$vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl']

That doesn't append anything to the URL, unfortunately.
