$ Members_online ['footer'] = false;
Further in my theme file
forum.php introduced
<? Php do_action ('members_online_now','');?>
<? Php do_action ('members_online_today','');?>
but neither of which does not show

Follow the last three instructions here to place it manually anywhere you'd like:

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/members-online/installation/

Look at the default kakumei theme's footer.php to understand where/how to put it.

if (empty($time)) {$time=time()-$members_online['timeout'];}
$results=$bbdb-&gt;get_results("SELECT ID,user_login FROM $bbdb-&gt;users LEFT JOIN $bbdb-&gt;usermeta ON ID=user_id WHERE meta_key='last_online' AND cast(meta_value AS unsigned)&gt;'$time' ORDER BY meta_value DESC");
if (!empty($results)) {
$output=""; $rewrite = bb_get_option( 'mod_rewrite' ); $bb_uri=bb_get_option('uri');
if (empty($rewrite)) {$uri=$bb_uri."profile.php?id=";} else {$uri=$bb_uri."profile/"; }
foreach ($results as $result) { $key=$result-&gt;ID; $value=$result-&gt;user_login;
if (empty($rewrite) || $rewrite !== 'slugs' ) {$stub=$key;} else {$stub= bb_user_nicename_sanitize($value);}
$output.=" $value, ";
}
echo rtrim($output,", ");
}
}

to this code:

if (empty($time)) {$time=time()-$members_online['timeout'];}
$results=$bbdb-&gt;get_results("SELECT ID,display_name FROM $bbdb-&gt;users LEFT JOIN $bbdb-&gt;usermeta ON ID=user_id WHERE meta_key='last_online' AND cast(meta_value AS unsigned)&gt;'$time' ORDER BY meta_value DESC");
if (!empty($results)) {
$output=""; $rewrite = bb_get_option( 'mod_rewrite' ); $bb_uri=bb_get_option('uri');
if (empty($rewrite)) {$uri=$bb_uri."profile.php?id=";} else {$uri=$bb_uri."profile/"; }
foreach ($results as $result) { $key=$result-&gt;ID; $value=$result-&gt;display_name;
if (empty($rewrite) || $rewrite !== 'slugs' ) {$stub=$key;} else {$stub= bb_user_nicename_sanitize($value);}
$output.=" $value, ";
}
echo rtrim($output,", ");
}
}

There is only one problem left. The link to the profiles doesn't work anymore.

Old link:
This link works: http://www.xxx.com/forum/profile/fb100123456789

New link:
This link doesn't work: http://www.xxx.com/forum/profile/membername

Now the link to the profile doesn't work anymore. The link should remain user_login

That's why you see the number. You'd have to change the plugin to use display_name

Example:

today online:
admin, fb1234567890000, member1, member2, member3, fb987654321000

So it shows things like: fb1234567890000 for facebook visitors instead of their fb-names. Is their a way to change that?

PS: I'm using this plugin for fb-connect:

Can anyone help?

1. http://example.org/forum/profile.php?id=35
2. http://example.org/forum/http://example.org/forum/profile.php?id=35

the cure is to comment out the call to $bb_uri=bb_get_option('uri') ; on line 89
notice there are similar contructs on line 90 - these are correct

Thanks...

I pulled the styling info out of the code and replaced it in my css, and it only took a few minutes. Thanks!

Again... a complete newb. Is there a way to call out that .php file in another spot? ... like an include. Learning all this on the fly, so please pardon the ignorance. Any guidance would be very helpful. Thanks again.
