on/offline status before threads

[inter]

In TV's (GREAT) Lockdown hack there's an implemted on/offline checker that shows online/ofline status. Problem as user/mod/admin is that you first have to look at the thread before you can see the status. Wouldn't it be great that for example the green or red light (for on/offline users) is in an extra row in front of the thread (in the threadlisting)?

OK, i hear you coming ;), it will only change when someone checks the status. Maybe an extra mod/admin option to check all threads in forum?

If someone could fix this i think a lot of people would be happy with this.

Thx in advance

The reasoning for it be only check online/offline when you view a thread, is soo that the web server isnt bouncing out ping requests to all the threads it would have to check every time a mod/amin was to view a forum..

[inter]

the on/offline pic in front of thread doesn't need extra ping

for the second part, i don't think mods/admins will check on/offline status five times a day

inter search the forum I already talked with fury about placing extra info before the thread ;)

[inter]

if i only could do the changes niels 999 ...
i'm a real n00b so i'm asking for help

Found it for you.
There is an link in the Forumdisplay template to:
threadbit template (Threadbit Templates)

Code:
<tr>
<td class="alt1"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/thread$thread[statusicon].gif" alt="<if condition="$show['threadcount']"><phrase 1="$thread[dot_count]" 2="$thread[dot_lastpost]">$vbphrase[have_x_posts_in_thread_last_y]</phrase></if>" border="" /></td>
<if condition="$show['threadicons']">
<td class="alt2"><if condition="$show['threadicon']"><img src="$thread[threadiconpath]" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" border="0" /><else />&nbsp;</if></td>
</if>
<td class="alt1Active" id="t$thread[threadid]" title="$thread[preview]">
That is what you where searching for I think
Btw.
An online/offline for the thread would be a cool feature going to code that
AND THE THREADLINK:
http://www.vbhacks.us/forum/showthread.php?t=554

What to do:
update the lockdown table with 1 extra row: working
Insert by the
ftp_connect();
code in tv's hack an extra sql query.
if online add 1 to working if offline set it to 0

Then you see the template it's easy ;)

well no need in update anything

just threadbit template modification and some addons in forumdisplay.php.

Go To Forumdisplay.php
Search for =>

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

add under what ever you want

for example

$statusinfo = $DB_site->query_first(.. get info from the table ..);

if ($statusinfo[online_table] == "up") {
$status = "<img src=\"images\up.gif\">";
} else {
$status = "<img src=\"images\down.gif\">";
}

as you can see i wrote it with alot of blank places, just fill them according to the hack you are using, get the status about the ftp if its online or offline.
add it to where ever you want in threadbit template, and you got it

have fun,
Fury

You will first have to modify your lockdown to store the status. You cant call for status info from a dbase table if it doesnt exist in the first place and to my knowledge that is no lockdown that does this atm. My manual ftp checker does store status in the dbase however and if your already using that then the above hack will work if not then you will have to modify your existing status checker to update the dbase.
