This hook will show, on board index and subforums, how many users (guests and registered members) are viewing each forum. You can set if you want to include all subforums active members; if you want to show (0 Viewing) when no user is viewing the forum/subforums and the groups allowed to see the total of users viewing forums.

I will pay another 10$ for displaying who is wieving the forum after click :)

[Adriano Faria]

You mean open an ajax popup listing those users?

Nice... It will be added soon.

[Meowcious]

Yeah make it so if you click "1 Viewing" it will popup a list of the members viewing it.

What's New in Version 3.0.1:

• Added link to an ajax popup to list which users are wiewing the forum.

Doesn't seem to be working for me. It never shows anyone as viewing any particular area, even when I test with a second account and know that it should. When I change "display 0 viewing" to "yes", it DOES show the "0 viewing" text, but it will never update.

Using IPB 3.2.3 and the most recent version of this (3.0.1). ALL groups are selected, "include subforums" is set to "yes".

Oddly enough, the "Topics Being Viewed Now" mod works just fine. That isn't conflicting, is it?

Scratch that. A reinstall worked fine. There had been a permissions issue that got suppressed.

This is what happened when I installed this on my forum(3.3)


HTML codes are displayed at the top of the page instead of showing it beside forum names.

[Adriano Faria]

Probably caused by your skin. Just tell me its name and I'll provide a fix.

[idtng]

I'm using the IPB's default skin. The only template that has modification is globalTemplate. Even if I revert globalTemplate to default issue is still there.

[Adriano Faria]

True. Weird... Anyway, just made some change. Reupload XML file. Tested now:

[idtng]

Works fine now. Thanks!

If would be great if you could add an option to turn-off anchor link on the "# viewing". Also, the names on the list of users viewing the forum popup should not link to their profile if the user viewing doesn't have permission to access user profiles.

I got this on the custom skin Delicate Blue shin only, my stock skins are fine.

I posted this on Fisana thread also


ok just updated the hook and it works! Thanks!!

Hello, I just purchased this Hook, install it and it's not working for me. I get this strange syntax text on the very top of my forum index. I'm using IPBoard 3.2.3.


" alt="" class="ipsImage" width="1000" height="58">

[Kandice]

I thought the new 3.0.2 version fix the text showing on top of the forum? Doesn't seam so because I try switching to an default unmodified IPBoard skin and this still showing.

Please fix this.

The main version (3.0.2) is for IP.Board 3.3 only. For 3.2.X, you need to download version 3.0.1 from Previous versions.

If even after install 3.0.1 shows on board top, post your skin name... A quick edit on XML will solve it.

Adriano, I don't see version 3.0.1 anywhere to download. When I click download it only let me download v3.0.2. Please help.

[Adriano Faria]

[Kandice]

Just download v3.0.1 and now it is working. Does this Hook use high query and take away a lot of SQL Database Connection? My host only limit to 25 Connections Max for MySQL.

Can this also be remove? I don't need it, and don't want everyone clicking on it overloading the database, Thanks.

[Adriano Faria]

As stated on this file note:

This hook adds only ONE query for all forums you have (not one query per forum).

To doesn't show the popup, open this hook XML and find:

	<if test="$qtd >= 1">

		<a title="{$this->lang->words['usersViewingForums_listmembers']}" href="{parse url="app=forums&amp;module=extras&amp;section=stats&amp;do=whoviewing&amp;f={$id}" base="public"}" onclick="return ipb.membersviewingforums.retrieveWhoViewing( {$id} );">{$text}</a>

	<else />

		{$text}

	</if>

Change to:

	{$text}[/code]

I will create a setting for this in next version.

[Kandice]

Hi, this hook seam to only work when I turn the Display 0 Viewing? Yes

However, it display ( 0 Viewing ) everywhere making it very ugly. Do I need to delete that last </if> at the end too, leaving only the {$text}?


Thanks, sorry for being a noob.

[Adriano Faria]

I'm not following you. It works both way. You can set to display 0 Viewing? or not. Just retested and it seems fine for me.

Yes, leave just {$text}, sorry.

[Dolfan23b]

Great hook!... but I'm only seeing 1 name listed on the pop up, no matter how many people are viewing the forum. Thoughts? Oh and I am running IP.Board 3.3.0 and using the 3.0.2 version of your hook and just installed for the 1st time today.

[Adriano Faria]

Hi there.

Could the rest be guests ? I can only list registered members.

What appears to you on online list from that forum ?

Hi there.

What appears to you on online list from that forum ?

Sorry for the delay in responding... right now it shows I have 14 members viewing the forum and when I browse the forum I see 8 members and 6 guests and 0 anonymous. But on this hook when I click to view the list I'm still only seeing a single listing and that appears to be the 1st user that would show up if the list were sorted alphabetically. Does that help?
