Topic: Online Users Sidebar mod not showing up all the time...
hello all..
i'm redesigning my site & forums. my forum is integrated (albeit somewhat of a hack) into my Joomla template:
http://joomla.arcadefire.net is the site (url is temp)
and
http://forumsv2.arcadefire.net/index.php is the forums
if you register and check it out, you should see where i have built a sidebar w/ the stats on the lefthand side.
for some reason, the Online user list disappears on ocassion, yet always displays in the bottom section (i'm hoping to remove this one once i figure out what's wrong w/ the sidebar one).
any idea why that would be?
here's my code for the sidebar in functions.php:
//
// Generate the whos online block
//
function generate_whosonline()
{
global $pun_config, $lang_common, $pun_user, $db;
if ($pun_user['is_guest'])
{
require PUN_ROOT.'lang/'.$pun_user['language'].'/login.php';
return 'Welcome Guest!<br />
Please login<br />
<form id="login" method="post" action="login.php?action=in" onsubmit="return process_form(this)">
<input type="hidden" name="form_sent" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="redirect_url" value="index.php" />
<label><strong>Username</strong><br /><input type="text" name="req_username" size="13" maxlength="25" tabindex="1" /><br /></label>
<label><strong>Password</strong><br /><input type="password" name="req_password" size="13" maxlength="16" tabindex="2" /><br /></label>
<p><a href="register.php" tabindex="4">'.$lang_login['Not registered'].'</a><br />
<a href="login.php?action=forget" tabindex="5">'.$lang_login['Forgotten pass'].'</a></p>
<p><input type="submit" name="login" value="Login" tabindex="3" /></p>
</form>';
}
else
{
require PUN_ROOT.'lang/'.$pun_user['language'].'/index.php';
$result = $db->query('SELECT COUNT(id)-1 FROM '.$db->prefix.'users') or error('Unable to fetch total user count', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());
$stats['total_users'] = $db->result($result);
$result = $db->query('SELECT id, username FROM '.$db->prefix.'users ORDER BY registered DESC LIMIT 1') or error('Unable to fetch newest registered user', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());
$stats['last_user'] = $db->fetch_assoc($result);
$result = $db->query('SELECT SUM(num_topics), SUM(num_posts) FROM '.$db->prefix.'forums') or error('Unable to fetch topic/post count', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());
list($stats['total_topics'], $stats['total_posts']) = $db->fetch_row($result);
if ($pun_config['o_users_online'] == '1')
{
// Fetch users online info and generate strings for output
$num_guests = 0;
$users = array();
$online = array();
$result = $db->query('SELECT user_id, ident FROM '.$db->prefix.'online WHERE idle=0 ORDER BY ident', true) or error('Unable to fetch online list', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());
while ($pun_user_online = $db->fetch_assoc($result))

$num_users = count($users);

if ($num_users > 0 && $num_users < 10)
$online[] = "\t\t\t"."\n\t\t\t\t".'<br /><br /><strong>'.$lang_index['Online'].': </strong><br />'."\t\t\t\t".implode($users)."\n";

$tpl_main = str_replace('<pun_online>','<div id="leftsidebar">'."\n\t\t\t". generate_whosonline()."\n\t\t".'</div>', $tpl_main);
// END SUBST - <pun_online>and then i call it from the sidebar in main.tpl with this:
<div class="moduletable">
<h3>Menu</h3>
<pun_sidestatus>
<pun_online>
</div>it shows the rest of the sidebar stuff (total users, last registered, time, etc.), but the Online users list only shows sometimes for some reason
