Creating a Custom Who's Online Action

[technodragon73]

I originally posted this over at SMF but was subsequestly ignored...you guys here are excellent at replting...could you please help me?

I have searched all over this forum and while I have found snippets leading to this end I have found no solid expolanation on how to create/add a custom action to the who's online page.

I have several mods that when a member goes to them it says unknown action.

I understand that you go into I believe the who.template and add a whoall to the list, but it still does not work.  I have seen others say add a get action as well, but where?

If anyone could help me so I can get the who's online page to show when members are visiting those specific pages  Iwould greatly appreciate it.

I am using SMF 1.1RC2 and TPv0.8.6

you add online actions to "Modifications.english.php" or "Who.english.php",

Example: Going into TP Admin section,
on your users online it might say "Unkown action"..

just add this bit of code to Modifications.english.php

Code Select Expand

$txt['whoall_tpadmin'] = 'Viewing The TP Admin Pannel';

?action=arcade would be

Code Select Expand

$txt['whoall_arcade'] = 'Viewing The <a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=arcade">Arcade</a>';

your own action would be something like

Code Select Expand

$txt['whoall_actionhere'] = 'Text Here';

nope, just add the action and it should work.

I just did...it is working wonderfully...again...thanks a million you are awesome!

Okay...then can you answer how to get that custom action to show in the link tree?

Right now when  Iclick on the button the link tree shows Hom, then forum, but not the action after it...ex: when you go to the arcade it shows, home, forum, arcade

Do you mean the forum button vanishes when you're in the forum and the home button goes away when you're on the home page, but both appear in the arcade?

I am confused.

Any addon to the linktree variable is usually done in the source file - the file used for the custom action. Its done like this:

Code Select Expand

$context['linktree'][] = array('url' => 'yourlinkhere', 'name' => 'nameofthelink');

Coolness...so is there any specific palce in the sorce file?  or does it just go any where after the globals call?

The reason I ask...is some of the files in question have two pars...a file.php and a file.template.php

could you paste your source file?
