Hello,

I was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. Though I am a webmaster, marketing is my forte and cutting code is quite foreign to me but I get by.

Have the members_online.php plugin installed and though I like to see who’s been online today, I don’t want potential advertisers seeing that information or indeed forum members as it can provide a distorted view of site traffic stats.

Here is the snippet of code from the front-page.php file which generates the summary on the forum front page.

<div id="useronline">

<h3><?php _e('ONLINE TODAY'); ?></h3>

<p><?php do_action('members_online_today',''); ?></p>

</div>

Can someone please tell me what to do to make that output visible only to admins?

Thank you in advance

Use this:

<?php if(bb_is_admin()){ ?>

<div id="useronline">

<h3><?php _e('ONLINE TODAY'); ?></h3>

<p><?php do_action('members_online_today',''); ?></p>

</div>

<?php } ?>

This should work…….

No, no no, bb_is_admin is to detect if you are in the admin control panel

First line should be

<?php if (bb_current_user_can('administrate')) { ?>

I’m also searching for something similar to hide all links for visitors who are not logged in. I have a download section, and that has topics, with new downloads. Want to hide the links for guests.

Chandersbs – Try this?
