Is there a way to prevent the "What's Going On" "Forum Statistics" section of the main page from displaying?

I have looked but cannot find any on/off switch for that display. I would like to keep access to that information within the admin panel, but not make it public.

If there is a way to only display that information to members, that would be fine, but I don't want it displayed to non-members of my forum.

Thanks.

On your default.asp file find these lines (around 836)

Response.Write(strTxtOurUserHavePosted & " " & FormatNumber(lngTotalNumberOfPosts, 0) & " " & strTxtPostsIn & " " & FormatNumber(lngTotalNumberOfTopics, 0) & " " & strTxtTopicsIn & " " & intNumberofForums & " " & strTxtForums & _
"<br />" & strTxtLastPost & "; " & DateFormat(dtmLastEntryDateAllForums) & " " & strTxtAt & " " & TimeFormat(dtmLastEntryDateAllForums) & " " & strTxtBy & " <a href=""member_profile.asp?PF=" & lngLastEntryUserIDAllForums & strQsSID2 & """ rel=""nofollow"">" & strLastEntryUserAllForums & "</a>")

Change that to this:

If blnAdmin Then Response.Write(strTxtOurUserHavePosted & " " & FormatNumber(lngTotalNumberOfPosts, 0) & " " & strTxtPostsIn & " " & FormatNumber(lngTotalNumberOfTopics, 0) & " " & strTxtTopicsIn & " " & intNumberofForums & " " & strTxtForums & _
"<br />" & strTxtLastPost & "; " & DateFormat(dtmLastEntryDateAllForums) & " " & strTxtAt & " " & TimeFormat(dtmLastEntryDateAllForums) & " " & strTxtBy & " <a href=""member_profile.asp?PF=" & lngLastEntryUserIDAllForums & strQsSID2 & """ rel=""nofollow"">" & strLastEntryUserAllForums & "</a>")

That way only admin will see how many posts have been made, but others will not
Logged in as admin -

And then logged in as normal user -

Sorry it took a while to respond

Sorry just re-read your post - you wanted active users to see this didn't you? (smacks my own head)

I'll come back to this Wink

or perhaps by "bumping" the question someone else has the answer

Thank you for your help. Ideally, only registered users could see any of this data. My goal is to prevent non members from gathering the data presented there.

The goal is to have only registered users see the entire 'What's going on' section. Non-registered users would not see any of that information.

Where do I insert this? I don't want to make any errors trying to work this and crash for forum.

Thank you for your help.

Thanks to Scotty who finalised the answer as shown here in this image:

Which is a person who is not logged in and they will only see that
The answer is as above except, on lines 836 you would normally see this:

Response.Write(strTxtOurUserHavePosted & " " & FormatNumber(lngTotalNumberOfPosts, 0) & " " & strTxtPostsIn & " " & FormatNumber(lngTotalNumberOfTopics, 0) & " " & strTxtTopicsIn & " " & intNumberofForums & " " & strTxtForums & _
"<br />" & strTxtLastPost & "; " & DateFormat(dtmLastEntryDateAllForums) & " " & strTxtAt & " " & TimeFormat(dtmLastEntryDateAllForums) & " " & strTxtBy & " <a href=""member_profile.asp?PF=" & lngLastEntryUserIDAllForums & strQsSID2 & """ rel=""nofollow"">" & strLastEntryUserAllForums & "</a>")

'Display some statistics for the members
If lngNoOfMembers > 0 Then

Response.Write("<br />" & strTxtWeHave & " " & FormatNumber(lngNoOfMembers, 0) & " " & strTxtForumMembers & _
"<br />" & strTxtTheNewestForumMember & " <a href=""member_profile.asp?PF=" & saryMemebrStats(1,0) & strQsSID2 & """ rel=""nofollow"">" & saryMemebrStats(0, 0) & "</a>")

Change those lines to this:

if intGroupID <> 2 then Response.Write(strTxtOurUserHavePosted & " " & FormatNumber(lngTotalNumberOfPosts, 0) & " " & strTxtPostsIn & " " & FormatNumber(lngTotalNumberOfTopics, 0) & " " & strTxtTopicsIn & " " & intNumberofForums & " " & strTxtForums & _
"<br />" & strTxtLastPost & "; " & DateFormat(dtmLastEntryDateAllForums) & " " & strTxtAt & " " & TimeFormat(dtmLastEntryDateAllForums) & " " & strTxtBy & " <a href=""member_profile.asp?PF=" & lngLastEntryUserIDAllForums & strQsSID2 & """ rel=""nofollow"">" & strLastEntryUserAllForums & "</a>")

'Display some statistics for the members
If lngNoOfMembers > 0 Then

if intGroupID <> 2 then Response.Write("<br />" & strTxtWeHave & " " & FormatNumber(lngNoOfMembers, 0) & " " & strTxtForumMembers & _
"<br />" & strTxtTheNewestForumMember & " <a href=""member_profile.asp?PF=" & saryMemebrStats(1,0) & strQsSID2 & """ rel=""nofollow"">" & saryMemebrStats(0, 0) & "</a>")

The if intGroup ID <> 2 then makes the person who is not logged in not see the forum statistics

Thank you both very much. I will give it a try and report back.

How can I do the same thing for the Active Users? I know I can turn it on or off, but I would like it to be availabe to members, but not to non-registered users.

I'm grateful for your assistance.

It will be available to active users rudy, but not to non registered users

In other words registered users will see whois online and who posted what and when. People who turn up who have not registered or logged in will only see a blank

It worked, I was able to take remove the Forum Statistics to non-registered users.

How can I do the same for the Active users? I also PM'd you regarding same, but am posting here for the benefit of others.

Its pretty easy Rudy - on line 890 of the same default.asp file you will see this:

Response.Write(strTxtInTotalThereAre & " " & intActiveUsers & " <a href=""active_users.asp" & strQsSID1 & """>" & strTxtActiveUsers & "</a> " & strTxtOnLine & ", " & intActiveGuests & " " & strTxtGuests & ", " & intActiveMembers & " " & strTxtMembers & ", " & intAnonymousMembers & " " & strTxtAnonymousMembers)
   If strMembersOnline <> "" Then Response.Write(vbCrLf & "   <br />" & strTxtMembers & " " & strTxtOnLine & ": " & strMembersOnline)
End If

Just change that to:

if intGroupID <> 2 then Response.Write(strTxtInTotalThereAre & " " & intActiveUsers & " <a href=""active_users.asp" & strQsSID1 & """>" & strTxtActiveUsers & "</a> " & strTxtOnLine & ", " & intActiveGuests & " " & strTxtGuests & ", " & intActiveMembers & " " & strTxtMembers & ", " & intAnonymousMembers & " " & strTxtAnonymousMembers)
   If strMembersOnline <> "" Then Response.Write(vbCrLf & "   <br />" & strTxtMembers & " " & strTxtOnLine & ": " & strMembersOnline)
End If

Prefixing that line with as Scotty said:
if intGroupID <> 2 then

And then active users too will not appear unless you are registered and logged in Thumbs Up

Just to be clear on what I did, I added your prefix to lines 833 and 839, which match your code. This caused the desired result for Forum Statistics, but I can still see Active Users when logged off.

Posted By: Rudy81
Date Posted: 08 April 2009 at 3:17pm

Actually, to clarify, I also added the prefix to the third line you mentioned. It did affect some of the information on the Active users area, but I can still see the "member's online: username" with each username listed. I was hoping to get that line to be blank for non-registered users.

Oops, never mind. I just refreshed the page again, and everything is gone. I think that did it. I appreciate all your help.

All sorted then rudy Thumbs Up

When I tried the coding on those 3 bits it knocked out Forum Statistics and Active Users. I assume you have that now
