Please help with edit to online users list.

[Greg W]

I am trying to do an edit to the Online Users list, what I really want to achieve is that Admins are not followed around the site, therefore, I want to edit the code so that Admins just show as "Private" or similar for the location when the online list is looked at by members.

 

1 - Is this possible?

 

2 - How can I do it?

 

I have worked out that an edit is needed in the showOnlineList Template, I think it should be a simple edit, but everything I have tried hasn't worked.

 

Please can somebody help me.

This hasn't been tested much but this should work. 4 is the member group id usually of the admin cp. If you want it to be multiple groups, let me know, can alter the edit for you. Also note it will show Private for users in that group regardless of who is viewing. Probably can add an exclusion for other admins if you need to.

 

Open the showOnlineList template bit

 

Find:

					<if test="nowhere:|:!$session['where_line'] || $session['in_error']">
					{$this->lang->words['board_index']}
				<else />
					<if test="wheretext:|:$session['where_link'] AND !$session['where_line_more']">
						<a href='{parse url="{$session['where_link']}" base="public"}'>
					</if>
					{$session['where_line']} 
					<if test="moredetails:|:$session['where_line_more']">
						 
						<if test="wheretextseo:|:$session['_whereLinkSeo']">
							<a href='{$session['_whereLinkSeo']}'>
						<else />
							<if test="detailslink:|:$session['where_link']"><a href='{parse url="{$session['where_link']}" base="public"}'></if>
						</if>
						{$session['where_line_more']}
						<if test="enddetailslink:|:$session['where_link']"></a></if>
					<else />
						<if test="nomoreenddetailslink:|:$session['where_link']"></a></if>
					</if>
				</if>

 

Replace With:

 	<if test="private_session:|:$session['member_group'] == '4'">
	Private
	<else />
				<if test="nowhere:|:!$session['where_line'] || $session['in_error']">
					{$this->lang->words['board_index']}
				<else />
					<if test="wheretext:|:$session['where_link'] AND !$session['where_line_more']">
						<a href='{parse url="{$session['where_link']}" base="public"}'>
					</if>
					{$session['where_line']} 
					<if test="moredetails:|:$session['where_line_more']">
						 
						<if test="wheretextseo:|:$session['_whereLinkSeo']">
							<a href='{$session['_whereLinkSeo']}'>
						<else />
							<if test="detailslink:|:$session['where_link']"><a href='{parse url="{$session['where_link']}" base="public"}'></if>
						</if>
						{$session['where_line_more']}
						<if test="enddetailslink:|:$session['where_link']"></a></if>
					<else />
						<if test="nomoreenddetailslink:|:$session['where_link']"></a></if>
					</if>
				</if>
	</if>
