Problem Description:
Hi guys, How do I get my forum to show who's online
at the top of the forum.As in actually showing the members names that are logged on and then the number of members and then also the amount of guests online .

I don't mean by looking at the foot of the page but totally independent to that? Is it a script that we need?

If you take a look at the forum we'd like it to be able to show all that are online at the time we're looking at it and would like it showing beneath the ladies banners.

Any help would be much appreciated

Did you follow up my reply to your earlier question in the Graphics and Templates board?

In which case, I'd start by checking out Who's Online by Gobalopper and User Browsing by Spaceman-Spiff!

[Anguz]

isn't the ssi function enough?

http://www.puntingworld.com/ssi_examples.php
http://www.puntingworld.com/ssi_examples.shtml

here's a good explanation on how to use them

follow the steps explained by Spaceman-Spiff to get your SSI working properly

Thank you.

Morning guys, I'm Liquids partner in crime. Happy new year to everyone.

I've tried spaceman-spiff's suggestion and I have the following problem when I run ssi_examples.php.


Warning: main(/home/miamigo/domains/puntingworld.com/public_html/community/home/miamigo/domains/puntingworld.com/public_html/Settings.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/miamigo/domains/puntingworld.com/public_html/SSI.php on line 47

Warning: main(): Failed opening '/home/miamigo/domains/puntingworld.com/public_html/community/home/miamigo/domains/puntingworld.com/public_html/Settings.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/miamigo/domains/puntingworld.com/public_html/SSI.php on line 47

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'apache@localhost' (Using password: NO) in /home/miamigo/domains/puntingworld.com/public_html/SSI.php on line 56
Access denied for user: 'apache@localhost' (Using password: NO)

Now, line 47 is exactly as it appears in the YaBB Directory line in prefs & settings. That is: /home/miamigo/domains/puntingworld.com/public_html

Quite what the line 56 error is beats me. I assume it's because I can't log in to the database. I don't know enough to know what to modify here though.

Any thoughts would be very gratefully received.

Many thanks.

You've doubled up the path in SSI.php.

[mi_amigo]

Thanks.

If you mean what I think you mean, I can't see that I have. This is the relevant chunk of code (lines 47 to 59):


include_once ($full_yabbse_path . '/home/miamigo/domains/puntingworld.com/public_html/Settings.php');
// Connect to the database - either pconnect or std - Gxx
if (isset($db_connect) && $db_connect == 1)
{
   $dbcon = mysql_pconnect($db_server, $db_user, $db_passwd) or die(mysql_error());
   mysql_select_db($db_name) or die(mysql_error());
}
else
{
$dbcon = mysql_connect($db_server, $db_user, $db_passwd) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($db_name) or die(mysql_error());
$db_connect = 0;
}

[[Unknown]]

include_once ($full_yabbse_path . '/home/miamigo/domains/puntingworld.com/public_html/Settings.php');

Should be:

include_once ($full_yabbse_path . '/Settings.php');

-[Unknown]

[mi_amigo]

OK, thanks for your patience. Now I see what you mean. I should have gone to bed last night!

I now have the ssi.php lines 29-59 as this:

/*******************************   Settings   ********************************/
   $full_yabbse_path = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . '';   // if in same folder as yabb board can be left
                        // as '.'
   $num_recentTopics = '5';   // number of topics to display in list of
                        // recent topics
   $num_topBoards = '10';      // number of boards to display in board list
   $num_topicsViews = '10';   // number of topics to show in list of topics
                        // sorted by number of views
   $num_topicsReplies = '10';   // number of topics to show in list of topics
                        // sorted by number of replies
   $logOnlinePresence = false;   // When showing whosOnline() should the user
                        // requesting the page also be shown as online?
   $menuBarStyle = '0';      // 0: Automatically determine menu style using
                        //    forum settings (default)
                        // 1: Use text menu

/*****************************************************************************/

include_once ($full_yabbse_path . '/settings.php');
// Connect to the database - either pconnect or std - Gxx
if (isset($db_connect) && $db_connect == 1)
{
   $dbcon = mysql_pconnect($db_server, $db_user, $db_passwd) or die(mysql_error());
   mysql_select_db($db_name) or die(mysql_error());
}
else
{
$dbcon = mysql_connect($db_server, $db_user, $db_passwd) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($db_name) or die(mysql_error());
$db_connect = 0;
}


But I still get an error, like this:


Warning: main(/home/miamigo/domains/puntingworld.com/public_html/settings.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/miamigo/domains/puntingworld.com/public_html/SSI.php on line 47

Warning: main(): Failed opening '/home/miamigo/domains/puntingworld.com/public_html/settings.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/miamigo/domains/puntingworld.com/public_html/SSI.php on line 47

Sorry to be such a nuisance. I think I've been staring at this for too long, you could try hitting me with a hammer!

[[Unknown]]

Well, $full_yabbse_path should be set to the full path. (not document root always...)

$full_yabbse_path = '/home/miamigo/domains/puntingworld.com/public_html';

Second, it *NEEDS* to be '/Settings.php' not '/settings.php'.  In linux filesystems, those are completely different files.

So:
include_once ($full_yabbse_path . '/Settings.php');

[mi_amigo]

OK, thanks for that. We're getting somewhere but it's a two steps forward, one back approach!

I now get the following result from running ssi_examples.php


Parse error: parse error in /home/miamigo/domains/puntingworld.com/public_html/SSI.php on line 32

YaBB SE SSI.php Functions
Current Version 1.5.1

This file is used to demonstrate the capabilities of SSI.php using PHP include function.
The examples the include tag, then the results of it. Examples are separated by horizontal rules.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
To use SSI.php in your page add at the very top of your page before the <html> tag on line 1:
<?php require("/SSI.php"); ?> +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recent Topic Function: <? recentTopics(); ?>

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: recenttopics() in /home/miamigo/domains/puntingworld.com/public_html/ssi_examples.php on line 27

Relevant line in ssi.php is:

   $num_recentTopics = '5';

Relevant line in ssi_examples.php is:

   <?php recentTopics(); ?>


ssi_examples.shtml gives similar results for the whole range of functions.

Sorry to be such a pain!

Now you have a parse error.  Can you post lines 28 to 36?

-[Unknown]

[mi_amigo]

27 to 36 in ssi.php

$ssiphpver = 'YaBB SE 1.5.1';

/*******************************   Settings   ********************************/
   $full_yabbse_path = '/home/miamigo/domains/puntingworld.com/public_html'   // if in same folder as yabb board can be left

   $num_recentTopics = '5';   // number of topics to display in list of

   $num_topBoards = '10';      // number of boards to display in board list
   $num_topicsViews = '10';   // number of topics to show in list of topics
                        // sorted by number of views

There should be a semicolon at the end of this:

$full_yabbse_path = '/home/miamigo/domains/puntingworld.com/public_html'

Before the comment... so:

$full_yabbse_path = '/home/miamigo/domains/puntingworld.com/public_html';

[mi_amigo]

Thank you for spotting that. Must get some new glasses.

The ssi_examples work fine now.

I just need to work out how to include it on my board. I want it to appear at the top of each page, tried putting an include into the template but it just throws up errors all the time.
