IP address redirection and online/offline icon

Post by aboima »

Hi everyone. i got two questions

1) In this forum on the left handside there is a icon that indicates whether users are online or offline. pls where can i find the MOD for this?

2) I want to be able to dynamically redirect my users in their various countries to their own specific boards when they type in the address http://www.yougotlovemail.com by implementing a script that will query the users IP address and then redirect them to their appropriate board. Does any one know where i can find such a script?:
many thanks

It's not a mod. This board is running vanilla phpBB 3.0. However, 3.0 is still beta and should not be used on a live board until at least the RC (release candidate) stage.

I'm sure looking forward to http://www.phpbb.com being back up so all the 2.0 support questions stop ending up here...

Sure, but because this message was posted in "[3.x/Olympus] Discussion", I assumed the question was about phpBB 3.0 :roll:

Definetly. I hate overcrowded places. Now lots of people come here posting in wrong forums... it makes you not want to read the forums at all. The mods have their work cut out for them.
Don't give me my freedom out of pity!

The forum above this one is "phpBB 2.0.x & limited 3.0.x support", that would seem more appropriate (although I think your second question isn't really phpBB-specific, it's redirecting clients based on their IP-address to a specific URL).
