Topic: Who's Online Block

[Nick]

How do i change the "Who's online" block from the layout it currently has to the default forum layout where the names are side by side and go across width ways.

Like this;

[rad1701]

I would also like something like this a lot too.  I want to put my Who's Online block on top of my forum in the Center Block.  So, I want the "Who's Online" list to run horizontally so it won't take up so much space.

- Thanks

P.S.  Love Simple Portal!

Thanks for your support Rad

look on Sources/Portalblocks.php   the function   function sp_whosOnline

below this:

$stats = ssi_whosOnline('array');

   echo '

you will see its only a html list, so, changing the html will get your block horizontally. it may be even done with pure css  by creating a new class with:  display: inline;


this is an example:


.myclass li
{
display: inline;
list-style-type: none;
padding-right: 20px;
}

and change in PortalBlocks.php  within function sp_whosOnline :

<ul class="sp_list">

to

<ul class="myclass">

[Nick]

So that would create the exact same styled who's online list as the forums default?

[130860]

not entirely the same as the forums default, but will give you a horizontal look, the same as SP block but horizontal

[Nick]

Thanks i will take a look .

EDIT: I added and it's still not want i want really. I would prefer the default forum look.

ok, on a php block copy an paste this:

Code: (php) [Select]

global $context, $txt, $settings;

// "Users online" - in order of activity.
echo '


<span class="ie6_header floatleft">
', $context['show_who'] ? '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=who' . '">' : '', '<img class="icon" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/icons/online.gif', '" alt="', $txt['online_users'], '" />', $context['show_who'] ? '</a>' : '', '
', $txt['online_users'], '
</span>
</h4>

<p class="inline stats">
', $context['show_who'] ? '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=who">' : '', comma_format($context['num_guests']), ' ', $context['num_guests'] == 1 ? $txt['guest'] : $txt['guests'], ', ' . comma_format($context['num_users_online']), ' ', $context['num_users_online'] == 1 ? $txt['user'] : $txt['users'];

// Handle hidden users and buddies.
$bracketList = array();
if ($context['show_buddies'])
$bracketList[] = comma_format($context['num_buddies']) . ' ' . ($context['num_buddies'] == 1 ? $txt['buddy'] : $txt['buddies']);
if (!empty($context['num_spiders']))
$bracketList[] = comma_format($context['num_spiders']) . ' ' . ($context['num_spiders'] == 1 ? $txt['spider'] : $txt['spiders']);
if (!empty($context['num_users_hidden']))
$bracketList[] = comma_format($context['num_users_hidden']) . ' ' . $txt['hidden'];

if (!empty($bracketList))
echo ' (' . implode(', ', $bracketList) . ')';

echo $context['show_who'] ? '</a>' : '', '
</p>
<p class="inline smalltext">';

// Assuming there ARE users online... each user in users_online has an id, username, name, group, href, and link.
if (!empty($context['users_online']))
{
echo '
', sprintf($txt['users_active'], $modSettings['lastActive']), ':<br />', implode(', ', $context['list_users_online']);

// Showing membergroups?
if (!empty($settings['show_group_key']) && !empty($context['membergroups']))
echo '
<br />[' . implode(']&nbsp;&nbsp;[', $context['membergroups']) . ']';
}

echo '
</p>
<p class="last smalltext">
', $txt['most_online_today'], ': <strong>', comma_format($modSettings['mostOnlineToday']), '</strong>.
', $txt['most_online_ever'], ': ', comma_format($modSettings['mostOnline']), ' (', timeformat($modSettings['mostDate']), ')
</p>';

[Nick]

Thats how it goes, doesn't work at all

[130860]

I forgot to globalize $modSettings

use this one

Code: [Select]

global $context, $txt, $settings, $modSettings;

// "Users online" - in order of activity.
echo '


', $context['show_who'] ? '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=who' . '">' : '', '<img class="icon" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/icons/online.gif', '" alt="', $txt['online_users'], '" />', $context['show_who'] ? '</a>' : '', '
', $txt['online_users'], '



<p class="inline stats">
', $context['show_who'] ? '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=who">' : '', comma_format($context['num_guests']), ' ', $context['num_guests'] == 1 ? $txt['guest'] : $txt['guests'], ', ' . comma_format($context['num_users_online']), ' ', $context['num_users_online'] == 1 ? $txt['user'] : $txt['users'];

// Handle hidden users and buddies.
$bracketList = array();
if ($context['show_buddies'])
$bracketList[] = comma_format($context['num_buddies']) . ' ' . ($context['num_buddies'] == 1 ? $txt['buddy'] : $txt['buddies']);
if (!empty($context['num_spiders']))
$bracketList[] = comma_format($context['num_spiders']) . ' ' . ($context['num_spiders'] == 1 ? $txt['spider'] : $txt['spiders']);
if (!empty($context['num_users_hidden']))
$bracketList[] = comma_format($context['num_users_hidden']) . ' ' . $txt['hidden'];

if (!empty($bracketList))
echo ' (' . implode(', ', $bracketList) . ')';

echo $context['show_who'] ? '</a>' : '', '
</p>
<p class="inline smalltext">';

// Assuming there ARE users online... each user in users_online has an id, username, name, group, href, and link.
if (!empty($context['users_online']))
{
echo '
', sprintf($txt['users_active'], $modSettings['lastActive']), ':<br />', implode(', ', $context['list_users_online']);

// Showing membergroups?
if (!empty($settings['show_group_key']) && !empty($context['membergroups']))
echo '
<br />[' . implode(']&nbsp;&nbsp;[', $context['membergroups']) . ']';
}

echo '
</p>
<p class="last smalltext">
', $txt['most_online_today'], ': <strong>', comma_format($modSettings['mostOnlineToday']), '</strong>.
', $txt['most_online_ever'], ': ', comma_format($modSettings['mostOnline']), ' (', timeformat($modSettings['mostDate']), ')
</p>';

Doesn't display me as online or show my name 

[130860]

can I have a link to your forum please?

Ok, that last code is pretty much working for me.  A question though.  Is there a way to not have it show that little people icon link?  Takes up a bit of space and not really needed for me.  Also, why is there a little colon above the names?  Can that be removed?  Here's how it's looking on the top of my forum over at:  http://www.treksinscifi.com/forum/index.php



P.S.  Oh, I just noticed one more thing.  This shows up fine when on the main forum/index.php page.  But when I look at a forum post, the display shows 0, 0 (meaning no one online).  I have the block set to show everywhere too.

- thanks

[130860]

ok, let me check as the code above its just a copy/paste from BoardIndex.template.

to remove the little people just remove this:

Code: [Select]

', $context['show_who'] ? '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=who' . '">' : '', '<img class="icon" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/icons/online.gif', '" alt="', $txt['online_users'], '" />', $context['show_who'] ? '</a>' : '', '


[rad1701]

Ok, that's a help.  Any idea why the number of users and guests goes to zero when inside the forum?  Also, still would like to have the colon gone.

Mines going to be just set to the portal page but as you can see i'm signed in but it doesn't display Users :1 and my name :S ?

Can I also change that code to show my own image?

http://w3schools.com/php/default.asp will help you get started -- reading and understanding the code will be easier.
http://w3schools.com/html/default.asp if you want an HTML refresher.
 
Most of the time, the variable names and array indices make some kind of sense, so you can often figure out "where's that image I want to replace".
Also, you can spot the HTML "<img" tag, for example.
 
On a PC, the command line find command helps you search a whole directory full of php files at once for something you are looking for.

I have that problem too. What do I have to do to make it count the guests and members online including showing the names?
