UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 Mod Questions how to show the current number of online-users on a non-ubb-page ?

I want to show the current number of users of my ubb on my starting-page. (with ssi?!)

Can someone help me how to get the data out of the ubb that displays the "Currently Browsing The Boards: (8) - There are 4 members, and 4 guests on the board within the last 30 minutes."

Thanx for helping!!

Put that wherever you want it to be shown.

Can't help ya with the second part though.

I dont think you can parse variables in SSI

eg anything after the ? will not be read.
I was making a tracking system for 5.47d using SSI so it would show users where ever they are on my site in the who's online.
I was trying to parse variables in my ssi call, eg. /ubbcgi/online.cgi?where=OnHomePage
But it didnt work. I ended up haveing to make seperate CGI scripts and hard code in the location of where it was being called from.

Do it this way:

Thanx, works fine.
Didn't know that there's a sub(whos_online_ssi).
I'm just modifying it to display the overall number of online-users only.
