Who is online

How to add + 50 to: There are 10 users online
I found it at guest / user but not there
exemple:
'TOTAL_USERS' => $user->lang('TOTAL_USERS', (int) $config['num_users'] + 20000 ),

Do you really think your members will belief it?

it's not believable, I want it personally

Probably flogging a dead horse, but falsifying board data is not the way to give credibility or thrustworthiness.

[Thunde]

it has nothing to do with trusting anyone
so does anyone help me?

Why 50 go for 5000

I seriously think you would be better off trying to grow your member base than adding fake numbers to the stats. At the end of the day you want real people interacting and discussing topics not a fancy number on the index page, but that's just me. I don't even show who is online and user data on my forum , never have in 17 plus years.

All the best.

Peace

I know what you're saying, but that's what I want, I don't think it bothers anyone that I'm asking for a little code
It's my idea, maybe it's bad but I want to try something
I don't think I'm bothering anyone if I asked for something like that, and it's cool that you've been working for 17 years, increase

[TheButcher2]

Fair enough if that is your goal, I can not help you mate I am not great with code. All the best.

Untested but you can open /includes/functions.php

On line 3327 Find:

Code: Select all

	if ($config['load_online_guests'])
	{
		$online_users['guests_online'] = obtain_guest_count($item_id, $item);
	}

Replace with:

Code: Select all

	//Mod - add to total guest count
	if ($config['load_online_guests'])
	{
		$online_users['guests_online'] = obtain_guest_count($item_id, $item) + 50;
	}

Or for a more interesting result

Code: Select all

	//Mod - add to total guest count
	if ($config['load_online_guests'])
	{
		$online_users['guests_online'] = obtain_guest_count($item_id, $item) + rand(50, 100);
	}

Which will add a random number between 50 and 100

reading this, that's about a way to trick users on believe that there are many users online...
i often see my forum with more than 50 users. 640 one day in the past! I am so happy, until i discover that these users are mainly bots.
My only guess, is to write content and offer things and ideas, so that one day, somebody will come to share something or ask or contribute.
I would not like to have an user that frequent my site, because nothing it contain or offer.
It is only an crazy hope to me. I remember an extension doing this, applied into a site of tv signal hacking (i was onboard ) i think it was 20 years ago.
I decided this time, that something like this, never will have to belong to my behavior.
But this is only my point of view.

Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you
