I'd like to get the $activeusers string to display when included in the header template, it just won't work...

That string's purpose is to show all the active (logged in) users in the "What's Going On?" box. It's not a phrase, it's a var originally found in the FORUMHOME template.

Can anyone point me on what var/method to use or would I have to hack?

[I'm using vB 3.6.2]

Look at forumdisplay.php, and find this and thisEverything between is for generating the WOL listing.

thanks!

I put the code in a new .php with the proper header codes to allow it to run, made a new plugin to include it this .php in the header, with output cleaned, set hook to global_start, it's active. it echoes out my debug text so i know it's including it for sure.

the part I can't seem to hack, since I'm new to the VB engine, is how to display the result of this stuff..

I can't echo $activeusers, and after searching the entire VB code (with my trusty editor), I can't even find where that var is being defined to contain the usernames. I know forum_loggedinusers is the template for the output but I can barely understand whats going on now.

Please rescue me!

My full code is what you refer to, in a .php, being included in the header, plus:
