[Merjawy]

I was about to ask, thnx to search.. this worked fine for me

thanks Brian

[Merjawy]

now I have a little problem I haven't really looked into it..

on forum, using /index.php or not

now if a user is on w$w.domian.com/forum/index.php it shows him/her on the forum
but if he/she on w$w.domain.com/forum it will show him/her on homepage instead

the homepage part w$w.domain.com or w$w.domain.com/index.php showing fine

PS.ignore the w$w part

[himerus]

I've tried the same, and haven't got it to work...

PHP Code:

case 'home':
            $userinfo['action'] = "Viewing Homepage";
            $userinfo['where'] = "<a href=\"home.php?$session[sessionurl]\">$vboptions[hometitle]</a>";
            break;
        case 'article':
            $userinfo['action'] = "Viewing Articles Database";
            $userinfo['where'] = "<a href=\"article.php?$session[sessionurl]\">Articles</a>";
            break; 


I'm trying to add both the homepage, and articles page, but both show up as Unknown Location.... ?????

I can't get it to work for me...

This is my home page url, do I need to change something to make that code work?

[BubbleHead]

I got it to work for me right off the bat, but if I click the link it takes me back to my homepage and adds a "?"... i.e. http://www.hotrodbiker.com/?

Any idea as to how to lose the question mark?

[iguanairs]

I just got it to work with my new upload by making a simple change to one line.

case 'home':
$userinfo['action'] = 'Viewing Homepage';
$userinfo['where'] = "<a href=\index.php?$session[sessionurl]\">$vboptions[hometitle]</a>";
break;

[cartman]

worked a treat - nice mod

[Frankenberrie]

I tired all suggestions and still get this:

Unknown Location
/comcentral/index.php

-Bump-

Me too

[indie]

So what is the correct code?
thanks

[indie]

OK i tried this code.
It works but i think something need to be changed for me.

I called my default index page "forum.php", and I named my portal "index.php" ...and now, when members are viewing the porta, it says they are viewing the "Index", when it should say "Homepage".

It only says they are viewing the homepage if the index.php is not in the url. only the domain name.

What can i change??

Thanks

[indie]

Brian's code works...
try this!!!!!!!!!

The problem that's causing it is your links, not the code in this hack...

the links you created to your homepage portal, ie: yourdomain.com/index.php or whatever
CHANGE to the <a href="$vboptions[homeurl]"> code in your header etc...

worked for me!

I know I am a dumbass for asking this, but can you explain what you just said.. I think you are saying change it in the admincp where forum home is designated maybe? But I am not sure.. Can you explain what you mean???

Thanks

[indie]

No, just change it in the header where you link to the homepage..... in your logo, and in the text link. Then, you are set.

Let say my forum is at www.mysite.com/forum and I added a new page www.mysite.com/forum/subdir/newpage.php. When a user is on newpage.php, the Who's Online would always shows that he is "Viewing Index". How would I make it so that Who's Online would show that he is "Viewing New Page"?

I tried the above mods but it only works if newpage.php is in the forum directory, not a subdirectory.

Any help is greately appreciated and thanks in advance!

[MorrisMcD]

The wierdest thing happened.. Mine wasnt working after trying all the above.. So I gave up... Yesterday I noticed it IS working now? I may have restarted my server sometime since then.. Maybe restarting a service will get it to work????

[JohnBee]

I have created a newspage as well using vBA.

so:
http://www.mysite/www/index.php?page=newspage

is my path how could I add this to my who's online also?
I would like people to see when users are viewing other
vBA generated pages if that is possible.

Thanks in advance

First, open your includes/functions_online.php file and look for:

PHP Code:

        case 'index':
            $userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['viewing_index'];
            $userinfo['where'] = "<a href=\"$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]\">$vboptions[bbtitle]</a>";
            break; 


Right below that Add:

PHP Code:

        case 'home':
            $userinfo['action'] = 'Viewing Homepage';
            $userinfo['where'] = "<a href=\"$vboptions[homeurl]?$session[sessionurl]\">$vboptions[hometitle]</a>";
            break; 


Next, look for:

PHP Code:

    case 'cron.php': // this shouldn't occur but just to be sane 


Replace that with:

PHP Code:

    case 'cron.php': // this shouldn't occur but just to be sane
        $userinfo['activity'] = 'home';
        break; 


Upload your includes/functions_online.php file and you're done.

Okay, can sombody help me use this with different file names. I'm happy to edit whatever else I need to, just show me how.

All of my files are in the root. Forum home is /index.php and vBa home is cmps_index.php

Thanks,

Dennis
