mod_smf_online2 question

[dbrown]

Orstio/Kindred (or whoever can help me out:

I have modded smf_smf_online2 to show this at the top of the module:

Currently, there are 46 visitors
online: 29 Guests and 17 Users

However, when a user is not logged in they see:

Currently, there are 0 visitors
online: 29 Guests and 17 Users

Here's the original code, and my modded code. If someone could help me out with getting it to show the total number of visitors to guests, not just logged in members, that'd be great!

ORIGINAL:

Code Select Expand

// parameter
$smf_wio['text'] = $params->get( 'smf_wio_text' ); // output text
$smf_wio['guests'] = $params->get( 'smf_wio_guests' );
$smf_wio['hidden'] = $params->get( 'smf_wio_hidden' );
$smf_wio['list'] = $params->get( 'smf_wio_list' );
$smf_wio['position'] = $params->get( 'smf_wio_position' );
$smf_wio['spacer'] = $params->get( 'smf_wio_spacer' );


MODDED:

Code Select Expand

// parameter
echo '
Currently, there are <strong>', $context['show_who']? ' ' : '', ($context['num_users_online'] + $context['num_guests']),'</strong> visitors online:';
$smf_wio['text'] = $params->get( 'smf_wio_text' ); // output text
$smf_wio['guests'] = $params->get( 'smf_wio_guests' );
$smf_wio['hidden'] = $params->get( 'smf_wio_hidden' );
$smf_wio['list'] = $params->get( 'smf_wio_list' );
$smf_wio['position'] = $params->get( 'smf_wio_position' );
$smf_wio['spacer'] = $params->get( 'smf_wio_spacer' );

I take it all back!!!

It only appears to work if you are looking at the board index. It doesn't seem to work on any other pages.

you can't just throw code in anywhere in the file...   You added that echo before the function is even defined!

where you placed that code... the system has not yet COUNTED the online people...
It works on the pages where board index is showing because boardindex runs a similar code and populated the variables.

I see. Where should I put the code?

[Kindred]

I don't have the code in front of me at the moment, but I would suggest you look closer to the bottom of the file...  Most of the echo statements don't get run until all of the values have been calculated.

I tried making it the last bit of code in the file. I displayed at the bottom of the module, but still said "0". Anyway, if you have a moment later to see how this could be accomplished, that'd be great. Thanks

I think using the method I'm using won't work period. Is there another way to add the total # of users/guests and display it?

Sorry to bump, but I'm totally stuck as to how to accomplish this. It seems simple enough to do, but those are always the prjects that stump me!
