QuoteHi Guys nice forum,
I switched my forums to Mercury ,
Sweet theme.
However I notice something Particular was my ONline Users Today Mod stopped working on the mercury theme. :idiot2: So i'm not sure what to think as it works will my other themes. I am running the 1.05 version but notices the Beta abd Rc vesion disabled this mod in my other forums. hmmm has me puzzled
Anyone know why or notice this?
Grudge who made this mod is no longer supporting mods. so I cant ask them.
Any Ideas ?
Thanks
Cybertoad
I had to go back and Manuel install it
"Users Online Today" was made by Fasan but he no longer support them at simplemachines.org - only at his own site: http://www.smitalia.net/community/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,29/
But Mercury should work fine with it..as long as you add the mod code required to BoardIndex.template.php inside the Mercury folder.

I am not familar with the board.template.php code that needs adding.
Any one have a clue to this ?

PS I really like your themes here, Ive been searching a year for one just like this it premo.
( sorry I thought was grudge that did it) ooops
mods are not installed in different themes via the package mananger. to find out what you need to do, open install.xml.
I added it it to a couple of my themes, so if you need help just post back here.
Hey Tippmaster, aren't you the one who made that pitchblack theme?
Although this site is not support for "other" mods, If you want help you need to provide us with as much details as possible. Please start your own post, and follow these guide lines.

yes.
Right on! I love that theme. I actually made it TP compatible, but it doesn't work because of the fixed background and width. I was thinking about taking the time to make it work, but I figured I'd just concentrate on learning how to do my own. :)
awesome.
let me know if you ever do it so i can attatch it to the thread.
I give up on all this, I have an admin that really wants this mod and I have to admit I do as well and I've found so many different ideas that DON'T work and fingers pointing in a million directions. I think I'm leaning toward not even using a theme anymore because SMF doesn't make this easy at all and as happy as I am with the TP I can't justify it with the the theme and not being able to easily mod them.
If you simply use a theme that DO NOT use its own BoardIndex.template, the mod will show up. If it does have its own, you can either 1) delete the BoardInde.template from there or 2) apply the modding code already in default theme.
Anytime a theme do not supply a specific template, the default theme is used and that of course is fully modded by your installed mods.
I'm sorry for sounding a bit harsh in my earlier statement and your post helped clear up a few things I guess. I'm currently using amber but with 1.0.6 and my head admin is after me to install a new board with new functions asap and I'm a bit over my head and I don't have a problem admitting that.
If I were to just delete the BoardIndex.template, won't that affect the overall theme I've chosen? I also don't want my users to have the option of choosing themes, I want them to use the one that everyone else sees so that it's more seamless and I know that they see what I see.
I'm going to try to find someone to help me with this new board because of many reasons, the biggest reason is my lack of database knowlege. I appreciate your time and your explanation. :)

I understand your frustrations Al. I am also very happy with TP using helios theme but find it very discouraging when I am not able to add simply mods because I lack the experience and knowledge to modify databases on my own. I have read and read everything I can find related to adding the Users Online Today mod to my current setup without any success. "Fingers pointing in a million directions" as you put it is exactly what I have found as well. I had this mod working on my site before I updated to 1.1RC2 and TP and I found it very usefull. I sure wish I could get it back without doing away with TP.
I did find an example of a website using the exact same versions of smf (1.1RC2 with TP and Helios TP) that I use and it has a working Users Online Today but a request to the person advertising this site has not replied to my questions. Here is the site http://www.wheelingadventures.com/Forum/index.php?action=forum (http://www.wheelingadventures.com/Forum/index.php?action=forum)
If anyone could give me exact instructions on how to add this mod to produce a working version similar to the one at wheelingadventures, I would greatly appreciate their efforts.
Thanks,
Troy

Beemer,
Thank you for the straight forward directions without all the unneccasary, confusing information. I did exactly what you said and the mod now appears to work perfectly. Thanks again, I appreciate your help. :up:

Troy your welcome glad to be of assistance ;)
Glad it worked out.
I like to add that this is something of a problem for theme designers. On one hand they want to change many templates to create a truly new and impressive theme - on the other hand: most mods will simply not work with them then. And since the amount of popular mods are increasing sky-high, its impossible to support all of them in the theme.
So until SMF can apply mods to more themes than just default, it will be a fiddling-with-code game for sure. And even on that day: if the template is just slightly changed from default the mod will fail - which will make it just as hard.
Hello,
I recently changed my theme to Leviathan TP. Everything seems to be working just fine. When I try to modify the boardindex template in order to get the "User Online Today" feature to work - Nothing happens. I have used the instructions in this topic many times to add this mod to other TP themes in the past and have never had any problems. I followed the instructions exactly as written again this time but nothing.
I recently updated from v0.8.6 to 0.9.5.
Any straight forward help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Troy

Leviathan design by Bloc
this is the simplest way to add users online today to any and all themes
Step 1: Install the mod - remember if you didnt install the mod adding codes wont help - so first install the mod to the default theme.
Step 2:
boardindex.template.php file is to simply look for this line:
// If they are logged in, but SP1 style information is off... show a personal message bar.
it occurs in all the themes --- just place the code above it
// Users online today
echo '
<tr>
<td class="titlebg" colspan="2">', $txt['uot_users_online_today_title'], '</td>
</tr><tr>
<td class="windowbg" width="20" valign="middle" align="center">
<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/icons/online.gif" alt="', $txt[158], ' ', $txt['uot_users_online_today_title'], '" border="0" />
</td>
<td class="windowbg2" width="100%">';
echo '
<div class="smalltext">';
echo $context['num_users_online_today'], ' ', $context['num_users_online_today'] == 1 ? $txt['uot_user_online_today'] : $txt['uot_users_online_today'];
// Assuming there ARE users online... each user in users_online has an id, username, name, group, href, and link.
if (!empty($context['users_online_today']))
echo ':<br />', implode(', ', $context['list_users_online_today']);
echo '
<br />', $context['show_stats'] && !$settings['show_sp1_info'] ? '
<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=stats">' . $txt['smf223'] . '</a>' : '', '
</div>
</td>
</tr>';
IF required then in /Themes/theme_name/Languages/Modifications.english.php right before the ?> place this code:
$txt['uot_users_online_today_title']='Users Seen Today';
$txt['uot_user_online_today']='user seen today';
$txt['uot_users_online_today']='users seen today';
$txt['uot_total_users_online_today']='Users Seen Today';
$txt['uot_yesterday']='Yesterday at ';
Success! A big Thank you AKU. Your time spent on this matter is appreciated. :up:
Troy
oh i didnt have to spend any time on it at all
here is a tip
Create a board for urself as Admin and hide it from ALL users
in there add all modification codes...so that way whenever u need them all u have to do is go there and have a look.
I have a whole collection lol
