Make all members always online.

[Padre gremista]

Good. I need about my forum that users stay always online. I thinking a bit and I see that would be very good for my forum if all members will stay online ever. Which archives / files I must modify for have this mod?

I have little knowledge about the SMF's programming, but that isn't much hard to implement, right?

Thank who can help ...

Do you want all users to remain logged in forever?
Which theme are you using?

I think it isn't much effective because the users don't exist. I want that all "real members" show how online, although they are no.

There is no simple way, it would require some coding.  Would not be very effective, members would realize pretty quick that users online are inactive.  However, if you really want to do it, you could achieve something similiar by doing this -

Then in Admin -> Features and Options -> User online time threshold set a long value.

Then install this -

... to display a normal time threshold.  Members would have to login to show as online, but would remain so for the extended period of time you specify.

Not really a good idea.

Good, and thinking other way, will be easy remove the markup online / offline on the page that is showing it?

Ok, sorry for this.

Increasing the online threshold can have other, unintended effects.

Basically, what you are trying to do is not recommended and won't fool your users anyway

I only want that users don't know who is online in the forum. This is the initial thinking. That Would be create a suspense situation, what help my forum in starting.

So, as hide the online / offline is too hard, I think make the reverse and put equal all users online.

[Padre gremista]

I don't create other topic and I post this question here, still in this.

How I make (default) all members hide your online / offline status on account?
