Ghost Members

[!!kaos!!]

Hello... I have SMF version 1.1.10 and using the theme kani. I tries to install both ghost version 2.0 & original. I tried to install 2.0 first but it gave me an error message "file may be corrupt or this is an uncompatible version". So I uninstalled it. Today I tried to install the original ghost version, no joy. Any tips on how to get it to work with my version. Thank you. 

You manually set  for 2.0

This Mod does not seem to work with the standard Who's Online SSI function ...
Who's Online Function: <?php ssi_whosOnline(); ?>

How to make it work with this function please?

its works flawless on my forum

Oh, really?  I didn't say it didn't work in the Users Online area at the bottom of the info center on my site.  I said that it doesn't work with the Who's Online Function: <?php ssi_whosOnline(); ?>

So, you're saying that when you run the url yoursite.com/ssi_examples.php this function on that page shows all the ghost members, correct?

Nice mod Kaos.
It would be good if you could also make the ghost profiles Exist aswell. If a member or guest clicks on a ghost member, they will see this:
The user whose profile you are trying to view does not exist.
The jig is then up! lol

Also if a new member registers, it will not read as the name being taken, so then you will have duplicate names. Easy to fix by changing the ghost name, but yet again another point to show that these 'ghost members' are exactly that.

Keep up with the good ideas, and hopefully you'd consider adding these suggestings to your mod.

I have another suggestion to make.
When the administrator logs off all the ghost members log off in same time. This would be a great mod but I don't think it will fool any real members as it is.

Same problem here.

And while I'm still trying to get this MOD to work with my theme, I have another question.

Your screen capture shows another option "Enable Ghost Members Who" but I don't see it here! I also checked both versions for 1.1.0 and 2.0xx but I don't see it there either. Did you forget to include it with your final code?

Finally! It's working now. But after all the hard work, I am now wondering what's the point of this MOD?!!

The max number of users logged in still shows the true number minus Ghost members!!!

for Ghost_Members.zip
go to themes/ur_theme/boardindex.tem....php and search for

Thank you for suggestion. I don't have any problem with the actual number of users online.

That means, under Users Online, it shows the correct numbers for both Guests and Members plus Ghost members:

1 Spider, 13 Guests, 97 Members (0 Buddies)

The 97 Members is the total number of actual members plus Ghost members.

But here I don't have the right info:

Most users online today: 82

BTW, I am using the Ghost_Members.zip on 1.1.10.


UPDATE: I've found out what the problem is!!


I am so confused how this MOD got the green light!

Anyhow .......

An Error Has Occurred!

If you put input say 10 ghost names, but only put total ghost members as 5, will it cycle the names, or just show the first 5?

When I tried to install the package using package manager, it failed on each and every file! I continued with installation though. Then, as always, I began modifying the files. Finally,  got it to work. The code obviously was developed / tested on a clean SMF with no MODs obviously. But it failed on my test forum with no MOD at all.

In either case, this MOD is not useful, at least for me.

Nope! Think twice before installing it.

Mine shows the Ghost Members as guests, which is probably for the best since they have no profile.

I think I may disable it though, until someone figures out how to give them a profile or have them log off for periods of time.  Nice mod in theory though!

You'll need to do full manual install. The MOD is designed and works fine on a forum with no other MOD installed.
