Simple Machines Community Forum

Hello!

I have search through other support topics (for example completely remove forum stats & users online (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=315684.0)) but I haven't see a perfect solution yet.

I want to know how I can hide the 'Who's online/Users online' list from all but admins.

Do I need to add this somewhere?

if (!$context['user']['is_guest'])

in Boardindex.template.php
// "Users online" - in order of activity.
echo '
<div class="title_barIC">
<h4 class="titlebg">
<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>
</div>
<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'];



Using default theme.

Actually there is a permission for this... {your forum url}/index.php?action=helpadmin;help=permissionhelp_who_view just uncheck it for all membergroups :)
The permission is "View Who's Online" under "Use basic forum functionality" ;)

Error occurred: 404 - not found

I know that if I unlock 'view who's online' regular members can't see the memberlist. Although they can see the 'who's online list' without enable to click on 'members online'.



As regular member they see this right now:

There's no way to configure SMF to hide that users online list on the front page. Only way it can be done is to modify the code you've already mentioned.

Then what does that permission do?

the who's online list

It deactivates the possibility to click on the who's online list and see the details about who is doing what (the link provided by Illori) ;) while the other one deactivates the memberslist at all.
There are no mods for it as well so...

@ Illori: If you're trying to confuse me you're doing a good job. :P

Thanks for explanation ... I think ...  ???

Wait! Let me see if I have this straight. One can't hide the who's online information on the index page but the permission prevents one from seeing WHERE online they are, right?

There are two 'who's online' lists.

There is the short form of who is online, a list of names, which is on the board index. No permission. Shown to everyone.

There is long form, which shows what everyone is doing. Controlled by permission.

So, in order to remove the who's online list from board index I have to remove this code and replace it by 'echo?

// "Users online" - in order of activity.
echo '
<div class="title_barIC">
<h4 class="titlebg">
<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>
</div>
<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'];

So the short answer to my question is yes. :P

OP, use

if ($context['user']['is_admin']) {

The said who's online code  (short form) in here <==

}

Edited: Note that you may also use if (allowedTo('who_view')) to extend the functionality of the permission in the who is online page to the board index. In that case, just replace the above code if ($context['user']['is_admin']) with  if (allowedTo('who_view')) and disable / untick permission to view who is online in the admin permission page.

Edited again: Note also that the whole who is online code in Board Index page is as follows:
echo '
<div class="title_barIC">
<h4 class="titlebg">
<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>
</div>
<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>';

Of course, there's always an easier way  ;)

Err... I thought OP wants to hide only who is online in Board Index page not the whole info center?

Ah, maybe  :P

So this mod already extended permission to who is online in board index page, is that what you mean?

Edited: Tested the mod. It only creates permission to access Info Center as a whole, and not any part of it (including who is online).

With regards to who is online, which this mod moves, to be under a new Info Center permission title. This IMO creates a confusion since who is online is originally meant for its own page not board index page (though it can be extended to it as suggested above).

This mod also causes some breaks which can be remedied by adding <br /> if it denies access to it (as suggested to me by SMF Customization Team for my withdrawn mod).

Ehm, ok..

This topic confuses me now :P One say yes, other says no.

Can I hide the who's online list on the bottom of the forums for anyone but admins?

If someone manages to do it then it would be editing the code...

Yes. The answer is definitely by editing the code as suggested in post #11 OP. If the OP still cannot resolve this on his own, I will try to take a look at this again when I am in front of my PC.

Ok :)

Finally!

Adding:
if ($context['user']['is_admin']) {


Before
echo '
<div class="title_barIC">
<h4 class="titlebg">
<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>
</div>
<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>';

and adding this after that code

}
worked for me! Only admins can see it now.
Thanks! :)

Nice to hear that.
