XF 2.1 Remove Guests from Current Visitors

[Mikethemix]

Our forum is closed, how can I remove all those guests from appearing in the list of current visitors?
Ideally I only want to show Members, but not Guests or Robots.

Our members are disturbed by seeing all those Guests and Robots listed - even though they are not gaining access to the forum content.

Online page or widget?

 

[Mikethemix]

It is the page Members - Current Visitors
Its address is: /index.php?online/
ideally I want the default page to open with this view:
/index.php?online/&type=member

How can I link that url to the button Current Visitors?

Right here. Edit the navigation as shown below:



However this still leaves the other tabs visible and clickable, so not sure this really solves your problem.

Here's the code for copy.paste: {{ link('online/?type=member') }}

Those could be hidden via a modification.

Yep if I knew the call I could do it in extra.less.

I bet @Russ knows.

 

[Ozzy47]

This is something I can do in an addon without editing templates or changing the navigation.

That's great, thanks Ozzy47, it has done the job exactly as I was wanting I've left a 5 star rating

This is how it looks now:

 

[Ozzy47]

Glad it does what you wanted.

 

[Mikethemix]

Ah ha, I just spotted another mention of "guests", The members online widget (which I have sitting at the foot of the forum) is still mentioning guests in its stats. This is how it looks: Any clues how to remove that stats reference?

 

[Ozzy47]

I can look at later. I did mention that before but you said not there.

Sorry, this forum software is so complex (= capable) that to a newbie like me, it is difficult to come to grips with some of these subtleties.

Just for the record, after three months work we completed out migration from vB4.2.5 to xf2 and it has been a HUGE success. Our users are delighted with the clean style and neat way it works. We are now tidying up all these loose ends which could not be prioritised before migration

 

[Mikethemix]

Don't worry about the guests in that widget Ozzy. I have edited them out if it ok

 

[Ozzy47]

Okay, that works for me. I suppose I will add it in the addon anyway.

I told my members that Bots are good, they contribute to search engine results
And I told them that Guests are welcome, as they are looking and one day they may join and become members.
Now they do not worry abour them
Dont turn people away from your forum!

His forum is a closed private one, the bots and guests don't see anything so they don't contribute to nothing.
