Addition to Who's Online - UBB.Developers

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.

Nice and easy to do, looks good.

That's pretty easy

in Ultimate.cgi

Yup, that's it, GoTorankusuKu. I did say it was "extremely simple" didn't I?

But I like the effect. Sometimes the simplest things are quite effective. Now I just wish I had more active members to make the number look more impressive!

This is the code I have

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

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

Ugh, thanks but I'm still getting an error

Can you post the changed code, its probably just a syntax error. Also check your error log, it will tell you in which exact potision in the file the error occured, which makes it much easier to fix.

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?
