vBadvanced WOL

[r_hippy]

First off I'm no coder by no means..

This is why this took me hours to get working by studing the plugins that I have installed from other mods..


Feel free to change what ever you like.
Feel free to use it in the next release


This bothered me that I would view WOL and see unknown location and a link to the home page / portal..

so I have a quick fix..
Go to Admincp>Plugin & Products>Add New Plugin
Create two plugins using the following hooks.

Product: vBadvanced CMPS
Hook Location: online_location_process
Title: vBadvanced CMPS WOL process

Plugin PHP Code : copy & paste from below

switch ($filename)
{
    case 'adv_index.php':
        $userinfo['activity'] = 'Home';
        break;
}

Plugin is Active: yes

Save

Now go back to

Admincp>Plugin & Products>Add New Plugin

Product: vBadvanced CMPS
Hook Location: online_location_unknown
Title: vBadvanced CMPS WOL unknown

Plugin PHP Code : copy & paste from below

switch ($userinfo['activity'])
{
    case 'Home':
        $userinfo['where'] = '<a href="adv_index.php'.$vbulletin->session->vars[sessionurl].'">Home</a>';
        $userinfo['action'] = "Viewing The Portal";
        $handled = true;
        break;
}

Plugin is Active: yes

Save

you can change home to what ever you want to call your vBadvanced page.. they have to be the same name in both plugins.

I use adv_index.php as my home page file name.
you will need to change that in both plugins to what ever you have yours named to.
"Viewing The Portal" and "Home" in vBadvanced CMPS WOL unknown plugin you can change to what ever you like as well..



here are a couple screen shots of before and after..
enjoy!

weird because it's still working even wit hthe 4.1.10 beta releases
check your work

[cbiweb]

Works perfectly on 4.1.10. Thank you, this is exactly what I needed!

[M.C.]

Am I wrong but this was working OK on 3.8.x version WITHOUT that plugin? I just checked my vb 3.8.7 and there no plugin needed, but why for vb4 do I need one?

"Viewing The Portal" and "Home" in vBadvanced CMPS WOL unknown plugin you can change to what ever you like as well..

well I can change it to phrase to be able to translate it but

Home

I can't change to phrase I want. It just don't parse phrase at all

[r_hippy]

dunno .. what are you looking it to say ?

[Peejay]

Excellent, many thanks, this was just what I was looking for

[doctorsexy]

Works well with 4.1.11...thanks m8

[r_hippy]

welcome

Hi, there. I'm an assistant administrator at KH-MediaFlare Forum, and I was wondering if this worked on vBulletin 4.2.0?

Here's a screenshot I took yesterday:



That should say Viewing Page Home, although I'll probably edit it in the Phrase Manager so it says Viewing Homepage.

[r_hippy]

yes

That's odd. It's not working.

Edit: Here are screenshots:





Edit 2: Fixed it. I was missing the file name.

Now, is there a way I can make it more specific? For example, we have a music archive that's part of our homepage, but instead of it saying Viewing Page Home, we would like it to say Viewing Page Music Archive.

[r_hippy]

your Product is set to vBulletin Advanced CMS

needs to be set to
Product: vBadvanced CMPS

edit the colored text in the code in the first post to your liking
example

switch ($userinfo['activity'])
{
    case 'Home':
        $userinfo['where'] = '<a href="adv_index.php'.$vbulletin->session->vars[sessionurl].'">Music Archive</a>';
        $userinfo['action'] = "Viewing Page Music Archive";
        $handled = true;
        break;
}

switch ($filename)
{
    case 'adv_index.php':
        $userinfo['activity'] = 'Music Archive';
        break;
}

switch ($filename)

        $userinfo['activity'] = 'Music Archive';
        break;
}

So create two more plugins (process and unknown) or add on to the one I already created for Viewing Page Home?
