How to get number of users online?

[romeo_piter]

Hi. I hope someone can help.
I need to have number of users online for statistics block in my index_body template, only the number not the whole string which is {{ TOTAL_USERS }}. How can this be done?

Check the language file.

I give different information for registered users and for guest.
Regirestered user can see normal string: {{ TOTAL_USERS }} that is:
In total there are 534 users online :: 20 registered, 1 hidden and 513 guests (based on users active over the past 30 minutes)
This string is created in functions.php
For guests I don't want this string to be visible. The simplest way would be just to get rid of it, but I still need the number, that is:
534
from the string above without other things.

Check the language file.

This variable has nothing to do with language files as it is created in functions.php

No, it's.

Open the /language/en/common.php

Find:

Code: Select all

	// "... :: x registered, y hidden and z guests"
	'ONLINE_USERS_TOTAL_GUESTS'	=> array(
		1	=> 'In total there is <strong>%1$d</strong> user online :: %2$s, %3$s and %4$s',
		2	=> 'In total there are <strong>%1$d</strong> users online :: %2$s, %3$s and %4$s',
	),

Change:

Code: Select all

	// "... :: x registered, y hidden and z guests"
	'ONLINE_USERS_TOTAL_GUESTS'	=> array(
		1	=> '<strong title="%2$s, %3$s and %4$s">%1$d</strong>',
		2	=> '<strong title="%2$s, %3$s and %4$s">%1$d</strong>',
	),

Okey? Many people will not recommend doing this, but it happens.
