Online Or Offline Status? #53556 06/07/2002 5:01 AM Joined: May 2001 Posts: 6,708 Melbourne, Australia Lord Dexter Member Lord Dexter Member Joined: May 2001 Posts: 6,708 Melbourne, Australia I'd like to add something on my topic pages which allows users to see if someone is online or not. Kinda like the Online/Offline status hack for v5 but it works like Status: Online or Offline. Anyone interested? Thanks.

I would have an attempt at this myself, but would prefer it if someone who knew what they were doing more than me did this one.. I was thinking along the lines of putting it next to: Posts: - | From: - | Registered: - | IP: Logged So it would look like: Posts: - | From: - | Registered: - | IP: Logged | Status: Online Or, alternatively, having it below the member number..

Are you telling me all the gifted hackers at UBBDEV can't come up with ONLINE/OFFLINE status hack? We (the little guys) are always depending on you big-time hackers. Let me know when you come up with one. Version 5 had it, why wouldn't Version 6.3 have one? thanks for the great service.

It shouldn't be difficult for some of the seasoned hackers to come up with the code. It does seem to me though that the UBB would have to determine the status of each person on every topic page for each person opening a thread.

I think I can transfer this onto topic pages. EDIT - Maybe not, few things I tried didn't work.

I never been good with the cache, so if anyone who does wants to take this and work with it, be my guest.

If the PM Inbox hack updates via a refresh, isn't it possible for this to do the same thing?

The pm inbox deals with messing with the cookies. I don't see how we could incorporate cookies into this kind of hack where it deals with many topics. i don't know.. you never know until you try

I am going to mess around with this code later so I'll report back if I have found a way.

There was one for the ubb 6.0 aswell, the problem is that infopop wrote the WOL script from the ground up and changed the way it works, so its a whole new system.

Anyway, we have to have somebody help us with the Online/Offline status for this version. Brett's one doesn't work.

Also, LK told me he could do it but it will increase CPU time because of cache having to update everytime a status changes.

I would really appreciate it and I am sure alot of other would also. It is such a cool hack. Thanks alot

Same with me, it's not healthy for servers. And I doubt you can know your server that well Dark ss trunks. But if you want it I'll call LK again, he said he knew how to do it quite easily.
