UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.1x] Who's Online - PHP Edition 0.2 - Beta Quality

Title: Who's Online
Version: 4.1 (PHP 0.2) Public Beta

Authors: qasic, Borg, David Downin, Charles Capps

1) WOL lists everyone, regardless if they're browsing forum or the summary.
2) Invisible users will not be listed on PHP generated pages.
3) ultimatebb.php works when register_globals have been turned off as long as track_vars is on.
4) No record book.

In particular, this hack CANNOT co-exist with the CGI-only Who's Online.

Thank you! I am glad yo got it released!

So this means you can only run your board in PHP mode?

also the autoinstall does not work it can not find many things in ultimatebb.php

I will attempt to manually hack and see how it goes

Holy whos online batman, i can finnlay upgrade to 6.1!

Hack 0,4,12,13 in ultimatebb.php are not found all other files dry run okay.

*begs for a manual hack page*

I thought you weren't a big fan of autoinstall, qasic!

so if i dont activate php accelerator, this will not work?

yeah, looks like it from the jist of it.

If you don't have PHP accelerator enabled, this hack will still work but only provide the functionality that the PHP version provides; to have all the perl-based ability, use the perl-only version

Good to see it finally released. Will test soon.

This is great news!

A record book though would be nice. Is it planned?

Also how about a per forum link that could list the users that have visited say in the last 15 minutes? This would be a tremendous plus!

The feature set is locked in because working on these features would involve adding significant processing time to the script and this defeats the purpose of the PHP accelerator.

qasic

Updated ZIP file with text-hack instructions (still rough). Did a few fixes with ultimatebb.php as well.

qasic

Thanks text directions work but the autoinstall still does not find the ultimatebb.php hacks 0,4,12,13

Speaking of the autoinstaller, anyone know how to use that thing?!

That's why there is a text file; creepingdeath, I'm still waiting on your response from my latest ICQ message.

qasic

Yep Qasic,

Text file works great. Nice features in cgi and PHP mode I dont see much difference. I was thinking like alot of changes. I can understand alpha quality. In some forums when I am in there on my test board I am there and dont show. If I go out and back in it will show. Seems like it needs a few moments to catch up with itself

Ok, there are many Bugs in ubb_whos_online.cgi...

1. When the IP of a User changes in a few minutes, the user is shown twice in whos online

2. When whos online is shown in ultimatebb.php, it doesn't look like "TheAngel, qasic, 2 Guests", it's look like "Theangel, qasic, 2"

3. On the site of whos online, sometimes it doesn't show the name of the thread and the forum where a user is, it shows only the link to the thread

4. The link to a thread is not correct... it is "http://free2talk.de/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=25;t=000002" but it should be "http://free2talk.de/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic&f=25&t=000002"

Sorry for my english

Thats why its alpha.

I just wanted to show this. On my beta board, i noticed that it was showing this

And i was the only one on...

Yes, it's ALPHA, that's the reason why I don't say "hey, that's the biggest **** arround..."

I tell the bugs that I've found, so it can be fixed...

I installed it without a hitch at www.ravensnest2.com , Thanks.

Qasic, you may want to take a look at it in use. It doesn't track everyone and only shows me on some pages. Also spaces in user names show up as '%20'

Not complaining, I'm glad it's back. Keep up the good work refining this hack.

Yes, i know it's alpha, and that's why i'm trying to give feedback so these bugs can be squished.

Yes, a good start... it does need filtering for spaces and few other characters in user names.

Please bugs here so we know which ones to work on

I have some suggestions on how to fix some bugs

1) If a username has a space in it (e.g. "mini chip"), it is displayed as "mini%20chip" on the ultimatebb.php page.

Suggestion to solve it
search in ultimatbb.php
-------------------------------
function callWOL ($whatimdoing) {

global $list_people, $vars_wordlets_mods;
return (count($list_people)) ? join (', ', $list_people)
: $vars_wordlets_mods{'wol_empty'};

} // end function
-------------------------------
replace it with
-------------------------------
function wol_alter_username( &$item1, $key ) {
$item1 = str_replace('%20', ' ', $item1);
}

function callWOL ($whatimdoing) {

global $list_people, $vars_wordlets_mods;
array_walk( $list_people, 'wol_alter_username' );
return (count($list_people)) ? join (', ', $list_people)
: $vars_wordlets_mods{'wol_empty'};

} // end function
-------------------------------


2) A lot of links calculated by wol are wrong. Often a ; is used to seperate variables instead of a & (e.g. ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=42;t=000025)

3) Another link error the (the quotation mark):

another fix

theangel, error 4:

ubb_whos_online.cgi / line 372 => $wol_locale = qq($vars_wordlets_mods{'whos_online_browsing'} $ULTIMATEBB?$wol_locale ;

When we think release a Whoi's Online PHP Edition FINAL ?

It will probably be a while before we can get the bugs worked out, tho thanks to minichip it looks like there are several less to work on. Danke minichip

Outta town right now, will add these to the site here when I get back in unless another admin beats me to it

I fixed a few other things in my files, but it was too late yesterday to remember everything

Allen, do you want my files to check if there is something usefull in it?

Btw. your german is good

I forgot, the modified files are currently running at www.PaintballForum.de . The board is in german though it shouldn't be a problem to find wol

[ 11-02-2001: Message edited by: Minichip ]

Heya Minichip....how did u fix the link problems in the Who's online display page?

eg where it has ; instead of & etc...

To many places to list them all here

If you are familiar with HTML just read all wol files and when you find a link, check if the variables a seperated by a & (replace the ; )

[ 11-02-2001: Message edited by: Minichip ]

hmmm.. if that is the problem, we need to look at how to get it to work with ;. & doesn't validate, tho it's easier Thanks for the fixes minichip, it's getting there

To get it work with PHP, you have to edit the php.ini - File. But most people don't have access to that file...

& is validated and it probably works.

yeah thanks for this MOD i always love the whos online hacks

bugs that i can tell are it does not show up all the actuall users online in the main page, what it does is tell whos online "where they are" which is cool 2 just wanted to help a bit probably was no use what so ever but i used microchips fix's and it seems fine

thanks again cant wait for this hack to be finished but i will attempt any hack lol alpha beta you name it i try it

Kewl, another PB player

Hey Guy,

Thanks for all your input. Unfortunately, I won't have time to incorporate all the fixes to the bugs you mentioned this weekend but I'll try to get a new alpha out by the end of next week (no promises though).

Yes, this is the designed behaviour for the PHP version. It shows ALL user browsing the boards - regardless if they're ina particular forum or serachng, etc.

qasic

as you said and stated that this is alpha and we are very gr8ful to you for letting us test this (cheers)

lol the only reason i posted that about the main page is i had a member call my site a ghost town because it never showed on the main page how many people was browseing the actaul site but i have 40 forums lmao so the members are all over the place...

so i upped the time limit that they were logged in but because the wol tracks them very well it dont seem to work ???

not to worry i put the member straight lol

This looks to be the same as what's already in there. Mebbe qasic added it to the download file.
