Users Online Shortcode

#1 · December 27, 2020, 5:03 pm

I would love to list how many users are currently using the forum on my homepage outside of that forum page.

Is there a shortcode or code snippet available where I could post the statistics-element –> element-number?

you can use the following code snippet to create a shortcode with the online users:

add_shortcode('asgaros-online-users', 'show_online_users');

function show_online_users (){
    ob_start();
    echo '<div id="online-wrapper">';
    global $asgarosforum;
    $asgarosforum->online->render_statistics_element();
    echo '</div>';

    return ob_get_clean();

}

While testing the shortcode, I’m showing 0 online users on my test page, but 1 online user (moi) on the forum page.

Hey @pjsullivan75,

thanks for the coffee.

It seems like I missed a line the get the online users. Please try this code instead:

add_shortcode('asgaros-online-users', 'show_online_users');

function show_online_users (){
    ob_start();
    echo '<div id="online-wrapper">';
    global $asgarosforum;
    $asgarosforum->online->load_online_users();
    $asgarosforum->online->render_statistics_element();
    echo '</div>';

    return ob_get_clean();

}

Hi, I see a different number than in the forum. Is the code current?

Is the code still valid? I get an error message when I try to save the code.

@moench1987

This code goes to the functions.php of your childe theme (or use a php snippet plugin).

You tried to add it in the customm css section.
