Hi,

I had some non-vBulletin pages integrated to the vb database and i wanted to show the users viewing those pages in Online Users so i used this piece of code at the top of the non-vBulletin pages:


Codedisplayerror: (Update license status (http://members.vbulletin.com/membersupport_priority.php)) You cannot view code until you prove your license status
You can remove the lines related to vBadvanced if you don't have it installed.

How to create your own vBulletin-powered page! (uses vB templates) (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=62164)


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's say you have a page nothing to do with vBulletin & vBulletin database (wordpress pages, external html pages, even pages of your other domains etc...) and you still want to show the page viewers in Online Users of vBulletin.


Step - 1

Create a page called 'extra_online_users.php'.

Copy these lines in it:

Codedisplayerror: (Update license status (http://members.vbulletin.com/membersupport_priority.php)) You cannot view code until you prove your license status
Save and upload this page to your domain or forum root.

Step - 2

Open your non-vbulletin page and copy these lines to the very bottom of your page:
(Note: Before )


Codedisplayerror: (Update license status (http://members.vbulletin.com/membersupport_priority.php)) You cannot view code until you prove your license status
Now, anybody visits your non-vbulletin page will be displayed at "Online Users".

But it will show their location as "Unknown Location". We can fix this of course.

Step - 3

Go to your AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Plugin Manager > Add new Plugin

Product: vBulletin
Hook Location: online_location_process
Title: Extra Online Users Process
Execution Order: 5

Code:
Codedisplayerror: (Update license status (http://members.vbulletin.com/membersupport_priority.php)) You cannot view code until you prove your license status
Save.

Go to your AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Plugin Manager > Add new Plugin

Product: vBulletin
Hook Location: online_location_unknown
Title: Extra Online Users Unknown
Execution Order: 5

Code:
Codedisplayerror: (Update license status (http://members.vbulletin.com/membersupport_priority.php)) You cannot view code until you prove your license status
Save.

If you want to apply this tutorial for more than one page, just create another instance of "extra_online_users.php" and name it like "extra_online_users2.php".

Don't forget to add the lines to the plugins and make the name changes.
