If no members/staff online..

I want it so that if no members[/i] (including staff - since they are members) are online, then the info center to display a message saying "there are currently no members online" (purely so the info center doesn't look weird).

This is what I have:

{foreach $[online_user]}
                                                              $[online_user]{if $[online_user.invisible]} <span class="small">(ninja)</span>{/if}$[online_user.comma]
{/foreach}
                                                   {if $[total_online] == 0}<i>there are currently no members online</i>{/if}
{if $[total_online_not_shown]}
, and <a class="$[view_active_members_link.class]" href="$[view_active_members_link.href]">$[total_online_not_shown] more...</a>
{/if}

As you can see though, that counts guests. So if there is 1 guest online, the message in there doesn't show up.
Even if I have 1,000 guests currently online, but no members and staff, I want the "currently no members" message to appear.
How would I achieve this?

Thanks in advance

You would need to do something with some if statements containing the staff and member count variables. Perhaps some {if} and {else} statements catering to every possible online member situation.

    {if $[total_staff_online] == 0}
        {if $[total_members_online] == 0}
            There are currently no members online.
        {/if}
    {elseif $[total_members_online] == 0}
        {if $[total_staff_online] == 0}
            There are currently no members online.
        {/if}
    {/if}

That should get you started.

I love you

and "get me started"... it does the whole thing lol - which of course I am not complaining about, I get really confused with elseif's and the likes. if's I can just about manage

Well you still need to make an else statement for when there are members online.

But that's already there.. It all works fine.
I tested with guest, member and admin, all show correctly

I'd like to try this out.. It would be nice if you told us non hip people where to place it?
