User-Online-Photolist

[JulianWolf]

Demo

You can see the Hack acitve on my site: www.nlp-deutschland.de/forum
It?s the Online-List at the right.
When logged in users also get a "PM-Link". ;-)

Dependencies

This Mod is an port from https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=130662. It is a mod for vBa and needs vBa installed to work. With the vBa-integration-method this mod can be displayd on every vBulletin-Page.

What does it do?

The mod shows a List with all logged in users on the right or on the left of the current page. The users are shown with avatar or profile-pic, sorted by activity, friends and buddys appear on the top.

Installation:

Install the module in vBa:
- admincp
- vBa --> add module
- choose the module-file (xml)
- the needet php-file will be created automatically. Two templates are inserted.
- Define in vBa where you want to have this module shown up

Then define your settings in admincp --> vBa --> edit Module --> Users Online:

- Size Thumbnails is the maximum-size of the pictures
- Truncate Usernameis the maximum number of letters that should shown in a username. If the username is longer it will be truncated.
- Display pictures is an option to just show the users Online without photos
- Display myself is the option that you can hide the actual user. Should the user, who is online, see himself in the list?
- Linkback --> you can turn off the automatic Backlink in the module, but I kindly ask you for a backlink in the footer or somewhere else, just as a thank you.
- Backlink Option: If you have a german website we can use the affiliate-system instead of the "normal" backlink. Sent me a PN when you?re interested.

Enjoy the mod!

All the best, Julian!


PS: I kindly ask you to remember the backlink to www.nlp-deutschland.de (Key: NLP). I really need it in the moment and I totally agree with a small backlink in the footer or something like that.

FYI: I´m not the coder. It was a paied modification, that I think some other webmasters will also love. ;-)

Addition:

The Username links to the User-Profile. Beside the username there is a direct PN-Link, there is a Pager-Link and if the user is not a Buddy there is an "Add as a Buddy"-Link.

Uh ... yes, you?re right.
Does somebody have nice grafics for that which can be used (GPL)? Then I will put them into the Hack.

Give me some more details ... where does this happen? Extracting the zip? Uploading the xml?

Best wishes, Julian!

[7lanet]

xml

[JulianWolf]

Where in the admincp did you try to upload the xml?
Do you have vBa installed? Did you upload it as a module or as a PlugIn?

Best wishes, J ulian!

[Ricsca]

Uh ... yes, you?re right.

Best wishes, Julian!

You can insert those that use you?

[JulianWolf]

I don´t remember where I´ve got them from. It can be possible, that they where in any paied extension, and in that case it would be a problem.

On the other hand ... they are not too nice. I guess, one of the users here can easily built/find some better grafics, then I would also like to use them and integrate them in the Hack.

Best wishes, Julian!

[goranbaxy]

this can't be done without VBa? :(

I would like to si this as "normal" plug in!

Reading is an Opportunity:

It is a mod for vBa and needs vBa installed to work. (first line of the description)

Reason for having it in vBa is, because the side-block is not so easy to get into the regular vBulletin. In vBa you can easily integrate something like a "frame" around vBulletin, and if you want only put this Hack in. That means: You can have it without having vBa shown anywhere else (exzept of the admincp of course).

Best wishes, Julian!

I don't get it, are you suggesting me to install vBa and not to show it anywhere so I can use this mod?

[bada_bing]

This hack would be nice if someone can port this over to VPORTAL, not everyone uses Vba.

Well ... it?s easy: I use vBa and this is the Module I use. I invite everybody to use it for free ... but my needs are to have it "easy". The easiest way to do that for my opinion is with vBa. vBa is easy to install, works brilliant and gives me the chance, to show this list on every vB-Page I want.

If somebody wants to use it without vBa the question is: How? If you just insert a new template it would not appear in a side-box. Sure, there are ways, but I think they are getting much more difficult then using vBa.

When somebody prefears to have it without vBa feel free to change the hack. But I cannot offer you more then I have: I have it for vBa. To use it without vBa you will need to make it on your own. ;-)

@7lanet:
Exactly that: It?s not a plugin and it?s not a porduct. It?s a module. When you want to install it as a plugin or as a product ... you will get an error-message. ;-)

Best wishes, Julian!

[JermaineBelgard]

I don't know how to install it as module. VBA accepts only php files as module, if I use this xml file I receive an error on my frontpage and nothing works anymore. oO

[JulianWolf]

Hi Jermaine,

sorry for asking that question: Did you follow the instructions?

vBa doesn´t accept php files as modules. If you "Upload a module" you can upload ".module" and ".xml"-Files.

In the instructions it says "Upload module", and not "create a module". If you create a module, it needs a php-file. But when you upload the xml as a module, the xml will create the php itself.

[JermaineBelgard]

Oh ok, now it works. I've tried to add this as a module, not to upload it. Thanks.

[Ricsca]

Demo?

[JulianWolf]

Demo?

Oh, sure.
Link to my forum-site is www.nlp-deutschland.de/forum
No need to login to see the Hack.

[TriMe]

Here are some better instructions:

AdminCP-> vBa CMPS -> Download / Upload Module -> Browse to useronline.xml -> select the style you want it applied to -> Save

[htscpl]

Hi, I think this is a great mod, however, I am having a little problem with the width of the box and with it's contents. It shows the pics just fine but other stuff not so fine. Need to know where to look or edit to get other images to show. :confused:

Thanks
Henry

[Captain Tycoon]

I would love it if there is a way to limit the amount of members that it shows online, perhaps for it to show 10 random logged in members?

[jerx]

I think there is a little problem with this mod. If your buddy is invisible, he will not be displayed, despite the fact that you are an admin. The default buddy list module and the online user module do show that buddy.

How can I change the sort order? Is it possible to sort like this?

first all online-Buddies (no matter whether they have avatar)
then all online-users who are not buddies (no matter whether they have avatar)

You wrote the following in the older thread:
The list sorts like this:

first all online-Buddies with photo
then all online-Buddies without photo
then all online-users who are not buddies with photo
then the rest, no photo, not online.

The second list-criteria ist the "last-action". This is so that the list "moves" and everytime somebody else is on the top.

I don' t get the last part. Does this change only the top spot of the whole list? In my opinion the original sort order of your mod is only suited for very active boards. On small boards the list looks unsorted. I just checked your site. It does not look like the sort order you have written. All users have avatars, but there seem to be 4 different groups. :confused:

[Nikoo]

Hi, is it possible to put the name under the image or just to take away the name as : http://www.cardwolves.com/index.php

[EWGF]

The number of online members and visitors don't show up in 3.7.4 PL1. Can you fix it?

[rivamania]

How to integrate in vbulletin forum home ?

[denman75]

horrible to install
uninstalled*

[Lustikus]

Can pls anybody update this one for Vbulletin 4.0 & CMPS 4.0 ?

As far as I see only some adjustments are necessary, for example fetch_template must be replaced. Unfortunly I`m not experienced enough to change it...

will pay 20 € to the first one :up:
