Need some help with this plugin.

Hmm, did you deactivate the who's online list for guests in the Admin CP -> Users & Groups?

You have to do that too, otherwise it'll not only show the message but also the who's online list

I am sorry for not being clear at the begin of my thread. I can not use the permission system for guests for that. It has been like this all the time, do not know why. That is why I wanted such a plug-in in the first place.

So please can you make it that when a guests visits my forum to see immediately that message that he can not see the online list instead as it is now that it shows both? What change must I do? Thank you very much.
You have created some great plug-ins I see. Are there any more new coming?

[Lennart]

Hmm, why can't you use that one?
In my opinion it would be the best way...

Otherwise you'd have to find

PHP Code:

You cannot view this code until you login or register

in your index.php (line 44) and change the code that follows...
Change the following:

PHP Code:

You cannot view this code until you login or register

to

PHP Code:

You cannot view this code until you login or register

and add the Hide plugin too.

You'll have the same effect as you have with deactivating it in the groups - with one exception!

The online.php (Complete online list) will still be accessible for guests.

Find in line 24:

PHP Code:

You cannot view this code until you login or register

replace with:

PHP Code:

You cannot view this code until you login or register

Now your online list should be protected.

I guess this can also be achieved without changing the core files but this is the easiest way if you can't / don't want to use the guest group permissions.

To your final question:
I'm still developing new plugins, in fact I just started.

At the moment I'm quite busy with other stuff like school but I'll have more time soon (hollidays) and then there will be a wave of new plugins

Kind regards

Thank you for your efforts. But I thought that maybe it was a simpler way to change only the plug-in file and not the other files because I am a noob at this.
I am looking forward to your new plug-ins. They seem very nice.

[Lennart]

Thank you.

Well, I don't know any other way, it would be very tricky.
Why can't you use the rights system?

My last question. How can I replace the {\$whosonline} with {\$hideonline} at the template? As it is now it adds it after but I want to replace it. How can that be done? Not manually but by adding it at the find_replace_templatesets at the plug-in file.. This is my last question.

find_replace_templatesets("index_boardstats", '#'.preg_quote('{\$whosonline}').'#', '{\$whosonline}{\$hideonline}');

For some reason my permission system for guests does not work.

[Lennart]

Change to:
find_replace_templatesets("index_boardstats", '#'.preg_quote('{\$whosonline}').'#', '{\$hideonline}');

But this will disable the who's online list for all your users! Be warned!

[that_guy]

Thank you very much. What about the deactivate function, how can I do it because I forgot all about it in all the exitement.
You seem to know a lot about php Lennart. How long did it take for you to learn it?

[Lennart]

Deactivation is exactly the other way arround:
find_replace_templatesets("index_boardstats", '#'.preg_quote('{\$hideonline}').'#', '{\$whosonline}');

I'm coding Php since a year now but I think you can learn the basics of Php in a week easily. It's really simple and there are so many examples out there

Kind regards
