MyBB Community Forums

It probably won't work in mybb but if there is a way to put it in i would appreciate some help...

'CHAT_TITLE' => 'Online: '.htmlentities(implode(', ', $chat_online_user_names), ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'),

It is part of madblueimp's code for the ajax chat.. I've done everything else to put the icon in the toplinks but i would really like to show the users in the chatroom next to the toplink if possible...

Is there are a way to do this? Or is there a way to put it into another area on the forums?

Here is madblueimps coding for the icon using PHPBB3

I greatly appreciate any help or suggestions you can offer

That won't work =P What you can do, is adding a new count-query in global.php of the table 'ajax_chat_online'.

Ex.
FIND

// Run global_start plugin hook now that the basics are set up
$plugins->run_hooks("global_start");	

Add Below

// With MYBB Prefix
$chat_query = $db->simple_select(TABLE_PREFIX."ajax_chat_online", "COUNT(*) AS online", "");
// Without MYBB Prefix
// $chat_query = $db->simple_select("ajax_chat_online", "COUNT(*) AS online", ""); 
$chat_onlineusers = $db->fetch_field($chat_query, "online");
if($db->num_rows($chat_query) == 0)
{
       $chat_onlineusers = 0;
}

Then Open your header template

Add a new link

<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/<FILENAME>"><img src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$theme['imgdir']}/<IMAGENAME>" alt="Chat" />Chat [{$chat_onlineusers}]</a></li>

Don't forget to change <FILENAME> and <IMAGENAME>

Excellent, thanks Lex! I have an error, i know why, it's because in the database the ajax_chat_online doesn't have the mybb_ before it like the rest of the tables.. Have you any idea how i could go around this?

Use this query,

$chat_query = $db->simple_select("ajax_chat_online", "COUNT(*) AS online", "");

That worked perfectly!! Thanks so much again Lex, you're awesome

Dunno what it will show if there are no users =P probably just '[]'

Yea i think so but that's fine lol

worked great thank you!
