Quick question... I'm creating a new theme and would like to put users online in the header. Is there a simple users online variable that i can call on and put in to acheive this? One that is simple from the core of XOOPS and doesn't need any special modules or files?

Thanks for any help... =)

no there isn't a smarty variable that holds this. If you are not faint of heart, I'd recommend looking into the code that creates the Who's Online block and putting a modified version of that code into a smarty <{php}> block. The code to create this block lives in the function b_system_online_show() in the file /modules/system/blocks/system_blocks.php

The number of users online is not generated by the core but you can use the code that the Users Online system block uses to generate it. This is a bit hacky and will give you more than you want, but in your template file try the following:
<{php}>
include_once '/path/to/xoops/modules/system/blocks/system_blocks.php';
$this->assign('users_online', b_system_online_show());
<{/php}>
<{$users_online.online_total}>

LOL answers are like buses - nothing for ages and then three all at once. There will be another one in a minute I bet.

DJNZ - that's actually a pretty inventive way of getting block information into a global smarty variable. You're right it is a bit hacky and returns much more than what he wants, but not a bad solution at all.
