Check out the FREE chatroom mod for IPB 3.x

it would be interesting to modify this so you can show recent topics in a PHP window, such as a wordpress widget....

nevermind, i got it, thank you so much for this script. I wish I could find more IPBoard --> Wordpress integration

I have not been able to get this to work, I REALLY want to tho, can you contact me privately at daniel@holtblog.com so I can supply my error code?


Thanks,
Daniel

make sure you add your prefix (if you have one) to the 'members' table:

$getusers = mysql_query("SELECT * from (prefix)members where last_activity >= '$offline'");

NOTE: Do not add the PHP script inside another script. This Php Script is a seperate script which is used to display online members on your website side of your website. It is not meant to be used inside a PHP ready script such as Blogger or wordpress.

SIDE NOTE: Try adding the PHP script in a test.php page and upload it to your webserver AFTER adding your database connect details where required and see for yourself. It works because I have the script working on my website.

Click here to see the working script! You will find the working script on the left navigation menu under "online"

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in ..... on line 25

Look in the PHP code for this paragraph:


And replace by editing the database connection info, example below:


This scrip is scripted for invision powerboard 3.0.x.
Where $dbname = is where you put the name of your database
Where $dbuser = is where you put the database username
Where $dbpass = is where your database password goes.

I don't know if calling a function from a different database, in your case and the case for this script, your invision powerboard database for your invision powerboard forum which I assume is version 3.0.x will work from inside another database functioned webpage. All I have tested is it working on a basic Php Page which is the main part of the site, for example, the first page a visitor see's.

This script is working because I have it running on my website.

The above where's are not for your website part of the user accounts admin info. They are your database connection info.

It's the best I can describe to you. I hope I have not confused you and hope it has helped.

How does it work? I want to use this to show the users online in the sidebar of my WordPress blog. I guess that I need to add the database info from the IPB forum, right? When I do that and place the php in the sidebar I get this error:



Where xxx stands for the path of the sidebar.php wordpress theme file.

Thank you.
