UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V5 Mod Questions Addition to Who's Online

I don't know if someone else has already posted this before. If so, sorry.

I have made an extremely simple addition to the Who's Online hack that shows the link and number directly underneath the Registered Members. It seems a good place to put it.

To see what I mean, have a look here

It's just a few words of script added to Ultimate.cgi . If anyone is interested, let me know here and I'll post the details.

Easy

$CurrentCount = $MemberCount + $GuestCount;

And then
print "$Currentcount";

Thats just to get the number of people online, the ofcourse you add the link to the online.cgi file via html, if you want.

$MemberLine = "$AbsPosts Threads made by $TotalMembers Metallica fans. Welcome $LastReg back...";


and when I add this hack to it, I get a server error

Replace this:

With:

Ugh, thanks but I'm still getting an error

this is the code I used and I'm getting a misconfigation error

OIC, I forgot something, here's the right code


It should work now.

Metallifukinca, you seem to be missing the backslash () before the final

Yep that did it GoTorankusuKu, thanks.
What about non-members, can we use this too ?

When you say non members, do you mean people browsing your site as guests.
Like I have on my board in the who's online down the bottom, but you want to display it at the top? Is that what you are after?
