Link to Mod (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2165)

Adds the option to select one's online status when logging in.

V1.0 - Initial release
V1.1 - Fixed problem with the "Always stay logged in:" checkbox disappearing in SMF 1.1
V1.2 - Fixed several bare strings on both versions
V1.3 Updated for SMF 2.0 RC2
V1.4 Updated for SMF 2.0 RC3
V1.5 Added the checkboxes to the KickGuests template

Cool and useful mod. :D

Yeah....  very cool, thanks...   but why do you replace the text "Stay logged in" with "Show online status" in the Login.template.php file?

It seems to me that should be an "add after" not a replace.  Thanks.

Thanks digt. It actually should be an "add before" and it only affected SMF 1.1.

This has been corrected and a new version uploaded.

This caused the "Always stay logged in" checkbox to dissapear. So anyone wishes it to re-appear, please uninstall the old version and install the revised version.

This only places the option in the login forum at the bottom of the board index and on the page which appears when you click on the logn link.

very nice mod.. ;)

It isn't showing up on my site at all.

I think its a great idea though.

Are you using the default theme? Were there any errors when installing the mod?

Also do you have any other mods installed which have anything to do with loging in?

Can you please attach Login.template.php from the theme you are using or from the default theme if not there to a post. So I can have a look at it.

Please don't delete your posts. It makes it hard for somone to follow the conversation.

Wanted to POST and not quick reply. That was the reason for the deletion. Sorry 'bout that here ya go.
I know LOTS of Mods.
BUT VERY few errors the way I have it right now.
There were no errors on Install.. Thats why I went ahead with the install.
(I learned QUICK NOT to install if there are errors!!)
Ok so I should have just included the Log In Mods.. But ya never know..
BTW its Version 1.1.10 ..

That is quite a number of mods.

I don't see a reason for it not installing on that file. The only thing I can suggests is to install the mod and the check using the package parser to see if any of it did install.

I'm curious as to what's happening.

By the way, this will on some setups throw an error on login due to $txt[show_online] which should be $txt['show_online'].

Im going to try it on a fresh install and work from there.

Thanks Arantor, that's been corrected.

Let us know how it goes Bass_Chaz.

Nice mod mate, congrats!
And thanks :)

Hi Kays,

Thanks for this good work.

FYI - I uninstalled this - because people who had already deselected "show online status" in their profile were wondering why they had to check "hide online status" AGAIN.

SIGH.

Unfortunately there's no way easy around that. Since when you're logging in and still considered a guest, SMF doesn't know what your previous choice was.

The top login box is unaffected by the mod. They can use it normally.

Thanks Sabre™ and A. SK :)

GREAT mod, but how do I uninstall it please? 

I thought it was only to allow the admin (ME  :D) to choose this, but now I see a couple of little hidden people on my site and don't like it!   ;D

Thank you!

To uninstall it, just go into the package manager and click on the uninstall link next to the mod's name.

Agan, because you are considered a guest until you are logged in SMF has no way of knowing that you're an admin.

Works GREAT on the New Install!!
Great work..
NOW what was it that was causing it NOT to work on my working Board...
Im going to apply ALL of the current Mods onto the new site and keep this one and then back up and reinstall onto the current site IF all goes well..

I'm glad to hear that. :)

I wonder if the package manager has a limit on the number of mods it can handle.

There are users with 100+ mods installed, so I don't think it's that.

Hmm, so it's not that then. Strange.

One of mine has over 130 if I recall correct.

This is a handy mod. Nice work :)

Agreed, excellent mod Kays, and congrats on Septembers, Mod of the Month :)

Thanks all. :)

I didn't think that this mod would be so popular.

It's a good mod :)

Are the admins still able to see all users online?

Yes, they always would be.

It just sets whether the user appears as online in the regular online list or 'hidden' to regular users, just as if they could set that by default themselves.

Nice Mod

Thanks

Nice Mod

Please update it for SMF 2.0RC3  ;)

Thanks

It's been updated. :)

No changes were required.

Looks awesome and another "this should have be default in SMF" quote from me.  :P

Hi,

nice mod, but i have a little problem:

I deactivated the "Allow guests to browse the forum" feature to disallow guests to see my forum. So a log in page is the first thing a user sees as Overview but in this page the mod doesn't work. If i manually select the 'normal'  log in page (click on the Login-Tab) as if i could see the forum as guest, the mod works.
Seems there is one more place, where the check-box should be added.

PS: I use SMF 1.1.11

Thanks for that  Cobra_JK. :)

I've added it there also and updated the mod.

Thanks. Maybe so, but it's not a mod that I use.

Installed ok except all I see when using the test account is a box which is ticked and no text.

Am using the curvemavi theme on rc2

Had this error.

50:

57:    
// If they have deleted their account, give them a chance to change their mind.

For which version of the mod and which of the login boxes is affected? The default one?

Oops made a booboo meant RC3 not RC2.


Total time logged in doesn't show when registering or below the forums main banner

Look like it got conflit with enotify
http://forum.com/index.php?action=enotify
8: Undefined index: show_online
File: /home/user/public_html/forum.com/Themes/default/Login.template.php
Line: 132

I got many of this in the error logs.

I don't use e notify myself.

E Notify isn't on my list of mods for the forum ( sorry mod author).

I can't seem to reproduce either error.

@Dismal Shadow, I don't think the eNotify mod is conflicting with this one. I do have a check in place which should prevent this error. Can you post  the offending line so I can see it.

@ Brack1 Parse the mod and check if changes were made in Login.php to load the profile language strings.

Will do and will let ya know.

Keep it in mind, this only happen when guests viewing the forum.

Error on line 132 (with mod installed)

Without error (with mod uninstalled)

It looks like your problem is similar to Brack1's. Could you check to see if the change was made in index.php to load the profile language strings.

Kays

Just checked all files and had no missing files according to the parser.

So all the changes where properly made to login.php?

Have you got a link?

Brack1 your site look fine to me. ::)

Try clearing your cache. Both browser and forum cache.

Dismal Shadow, you shouldn't be getting that error since it is in the kickguest template which is only displayed when guest can't view the forum. Try clearing your cache also.

If it is that then I will shoot myself in the foot.

:)

Kays, I cleared both the browser and the forum's cache. Nothing, it keep generating those errors.

Can you attach index.php to a post please.

Here and I will also try this on a test site to see if it also get errors.

Weird...it looks fine on my test site. no errors when viewing as a guest.

Index.php looks fine. The thing is that the error shouldn't be happening unless you have guest viewing disabled. As that is the only time in which the template the error is occurring in is used..

It's not disable to guests, you have seen it, I gave the link. It must be in conflit with another mod somehow as it work fine on my test site with no mods.

It could be a conflict with a mod. But why? Especially if that template isn't used.

Why not just remove that line or the code for the mod there.

The mod is conflicting with Enotify allright. Just tested it on test site. Thought you may want to know and test Enotify.

I did have eNotify installed when I tested it. Both with guest viewing enabled and disabled.

I'll take another look at it in the morning. I really should be off to bed.

Any news Kays?

I'm not seeing what your problem is as I can see all the text where it belongs.

I did fix the error with eNotify and the mod has been updated.

If you wish to make the change manually. Change the offending line to:


<dt>', @$txt['show_online'], ':</dt>



Uhhh...the issue went away. Seem to solve the error issues.

Just asked a member by name of test  ::)

The missing text is not missing now.

OK. I think I found your problem Brack1. :)

I've updated the mod again.

You did? Because i take it back that the error is still there...

This should clear your error also. I moved the loadLanguage call into the template file.

It seem to be working this time. Hope everyone is happy this time.  :P

Cool, I hope. :D

It still shows up from time to time.
