Spiders Display on Forumhome and Who's Online for vb4

[Sforums]

Thanks for update Boofo, you're the best!

[Schoelle]

Thanks for the update Rob!

[Gemma]

Thank you Bob :)

[KissOfDeath]

didn't work for me will i emptied my browser cache, it's working fine now though, anyway to change the font colour?

[Boofo]

What version of vb are you using?

[tidus78]

Don't work on my vb 4.1.8. mmmm

[Boofo]

Yes, it does work on 4.1.8.

[KissOfDeath]

What version of vb are you using?

I am using 4.1.8, i found the style var to change the color, it's all working fine now,

anyone having problems clear your browser cache

[Boofo]

From the first post in this thread:
6. Go to your Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> StyleVars (In the All Style Options drop-down) -> Boofo -> boofo_spiders_color
Enter the color code of the font color that you want the spiders to show up in.

NOTE: You will need to do this for all styles.

[tidus78]

Yes, it does work on 4.1.8.

I followed the install instructions but doesn't works...any idea?

[Boofo]

Then either you missed something or you have custom style. Check it in the default style.

Also, clicking the install button doesn't hurt either.

[tidus78]

Ok
I have a custom style can I resolve?

[Boofo]

You didn't revert the forumhome template since you upgraded to 4.1.8, did you? The commas are done different in 4.1.8 now. I would make a backup of the template so you know what was added to it and then revert it.

[tidus78]

Thanks I'm waiting for it

[HMBeaty]

Thanks I'm waiting for it
Waiting for what?

[tidus78]

I would make a backup of the template so you know what was added to it and then revert it.

for this

[Boofo]

Just copy the contents of the template into a text file and save it. Then you can compare them after the revert to see what you need to put back.

[HMBeaty]

for this
That was advice for you to follow to get this modification working on your site. Not something Boofo is doing....

[tidus78]

Thanks now it works :)

[ruger]

Is there a white/orange spider.png? On a dark board its not showing proper.

Here ya go.

Works great in 4.1.8 for me. Thanks!

[Boofo]

I don't see any image attached in your post.

[HMBeaty]

I don't see any image attached in your post.
It's VERY hard to see, but it's there.

Might want to reupload it as a zip, ruger ;)

[iyama]

Here ya go.

Works great in 4.1.8 for me. Thanks!

Thnx m8 :up:

[Boofo]

What does that have to do with this mod?

When I activated this modification, that is all I saw. A white page with that error.

[Boofo]

You have another mod doing that error. There is no way this mod is doing that.

Just FYI the code in question is line 643 of forum.php, not line 32. Line 32 is the line of the plugin but if you have multiple plugins on the same hook it would be hard to know for sure the real line.

[Boofo]

Line 643 is the forumhome_complete hook in forum.php. Line 32 of this mod is "<hookname>forumhome_complete</hookname>". You must have another mod that is fighting with things. No one else has reported anything even close to what you are reporting.

Proof that you know more about vBulletin code than I do. ;)

Line 643 of forum.php is


($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('forumhome_complete')) ? eval($hook) : false;


Around it is


// ### ALL DONE! SPIT OUT THE HTML AND LET'S GET OUTTA HERE... ###
($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('forumhome_complete')) ? eval($hook) : false;

$navbar = render_navbar_template(construct_navbits($navbits) );
$templater = vB_Template::create('FORUMHOME');
$templater->register_page_templates();
$templater->register('activemembers', $activemembers);
$templater->register('activeusers', $activeusers);
$templater->register('ad_location', $ad_location);
$templater->register('birthdays', $birthdays);
$templater->register('forumbits', $forumbits);
$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);
$templater->register('newuserinfo', $newuserinfo);

$templater->register('totalthreads', $totalthreads);
$templater->register('upcomingevents', $upcomingevents);
$templater->register('sidebar', $sidebar);
print_output($templater->render());



And of this modification on line 32 is


<hookname>forumhome_complete</hookname>


I suspect that it could be the following template modification which could be causing a conflict
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=237485

Although I'm mildly clueless on how to resolve it and puzzled as to why the other 4 - 6 mods I have which may hook into that part of my site all work, but this one kicks out on me.

[Boofo]

The only way to find out for sure is to disable the mods around that, then install this mod. and enable them one by one to see which one is affecting it.

Maybe try reverting the template which hides the what's going on and see if that does it. Changing the plugin activation order might also fix it. But I can say for sure that this mod is not the one misbehaving.

[spillage]

Let me add an extra thank you, Boofo.
The combination of this mod, and Ban Spiders by User Agent, has allowed me to weed out all the undesirables, and retain those that are useful.

[Philster]

Thanks Boofo, keep up the great work!

[Delfi_r]

Installed fine and working on my production site (http://www.leicaeme.com)

Now I have to decide if the spiders should get any color set for them

Than link does not work for guests.

If you install my "Usergroup Legend on Forumhome (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=259806)" mod, it will display the word "Spiders" in the legend, also.

[OldSchoolDSL]

Can you please tell me what tables does this add to the database?

[Boofo]

None. It has nothing to do with your tempate edited issue. You should know my mods better than that.

[OldSchoolDSL]

None. It has nothing to do with your tempate edited issue.

How would one manually uninstall this through phpmyadmin ?

[Boofo]

You can't uninstall this through myphpadmin. It makes no entries into the db at all. It only reads what is already there. What is your problem? If you don't want to use it, uninstall it through the product manager.

[Boofo]

Did you really think adding over 200 mods wasn't going to cause you headaches somewhere along the line? That borders on the ridiculous.

[OldSchoolDSL]

You can't uninstall this through myphpadmin. It makes no entries into the db at all. It only reads what is already there. What is your problem? If you don't want to use it, uninstall it through the product manager.

OK.... What I know is I mistakenly turned this on, when it was originally disabled. Kind of got mixed up between tabs... test install and live site.

Upon activating this modification I got the following

Warning: mysqli_query(): (42S22/1054): Unknown column 'language.phrasegroup_global' in 'field list' in [path]/includes/class_core.php on line 1395

The e-mail I get tells me this

So yes, I was hoping there was a way to disable this... Since I can not even access my AdminCP at this time.

I didn't mean any disrespect in my inquire and do not understand your "anger" toward my inquire.

[Boofo]

My anger comes from the fact that there is no way on earth that this mod is causing anything near what you are experiencing. You have a rogue mod acting up and it will act up later on when you change or install another mod that that causes it to blow up again. You need to find what mod is originally causing that and stop blaming mods that can in no way be the trouble spot.

[Boofo]

My advice to you is to look through your mods (you should have them backed up on your HD) and see which ones are for the forum home that write to the db and check those out.

[OldSchoolDSL]

Again, the only person who I asked help from was you.... This 1x.... If you don't want people asking questions about possible conflicts.... Simply do not submit future modifications.

There is no reason for your hostility.

[Boofo]

Do you see the "Not Supported" in the first post? This is exactly why that has been added to my mods. Blaming a mod for problems that it in no way can be a part of does not bode well for coders wanting to write and support mods.

[HMBeaty]

To sum it all up, and again say that this mod is not causing the issue that you're having, the ONLY query this modification executes is this:
$spiders = $db->query_read("
SELECT useragent
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "session
WHERE lastactivity > " . intval($datecut) . "
AND userid = 0
");
Nothing about phrasegroup, or language, or anything. It selects from the table session the users useragent. Basically the same as if you were to view the Who's Online page. It reads what's already there, and prints it out on your who's online.

[Boofo]

And does NOT write, or add, anything to the db, hence the "db->query_read".

Let's also cheer up in here gosh!

Merry Christmas :D

[Boofo]

Nothing to cheer up. He has clicked the uninstall button and apparently uninstalled the mod so all is well in the Spider Display land again.

[Paul M]

That may be, but your reactions were rather OTT. Take a deep breath next time. :)

[Boofo]

I don't agree as I, as well a other mod authors, have had to deal with this sort of nonsense from him in the past.

[Stefan118]

Ok, after this endless discussion, i might have a simple question.

Gread mod btw.

The question is: Where can i change the color of the spidernames?
Attachment shows you why i would like a diffrent color.

Thanks

[Boofo]

Per the first post in this thread:

6. Go to your Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> StyleVars (In the All Style Options drop-down) -> Boofo -> boofo_spiders_color
Enter the color code of the font color that you want the spiders to show up in.

[Stefan118]

Dang!!!, missed that! :o
Thanks!

[ruger]

It's VERY hard to see, but it's there.

Might want to reupload it as a zip, ruger ;)

Sorry..works well with my site. Heres how it looks as well as the zip for anyone that needs.

[BaanFarsang]

vBulletin 4.1.10 Alpha 2 doesn't display both of user who is online as well as spider!

[Boofo]

As far as I know they haven't changed anything in 4.1.10 that would cause that. I would suspect you have something else going on. Maybe you need to revert the forumhome template?

[Stefan118]

Hey Boofo,

Very nice that you have modified the mod for a white spider.
Now I can see the spider perfect on my layout.

However, is it possible to make it so that you can select the color of the spider per layout?
I have 3 layouts, 2 with a white space where the spider image comes, and 1 dark.

The dark is the default style, but becouse of complains from members with glasses i have made 2 lighter layouts.

If the mod could be made just like the color of the spider name (changeble per style in the stylevars) it would be realy great!
I now have renamed the white spider image to black, and uploaded that image to the dark layout folder :D

I'm getting a double comma between names, anyone getting this?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/01/65.jpg

[HMBeaty]

I'm getting a double comma between names, anyone getting this?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/01/65.jpg
That's from your style. You either need to revert your forumhome template or you may also have some css that adds that comma (as discussed earlier in this thread)

[bulldog51981]

The only difference between the two templates is as follows

<vb:comment> <div id="pagetitle">
<h1>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</h1>
<p id="welcomemessage" class="description">{vb:rawphrase welcome_to_the_x, {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}}</p>
</div> </vb:comment>

<div id="pagetitle">
<h1>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</h1>
<p id="welcomemessage" class="description">{vb:rawphrase welcome_to_the_x, {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}}</p>

</div>

After reverting the FORUMHOME template, the double commas are still there.

[bulldog51981]

... you may also have some css that adds that comma (as discussed earlier in this thread)

If it is something in the CSS, I'm not sure what would cause it (i.e. I don't know what I should look for there). I know it's probably asking a lot, but does anyone know what I should be on the look out for?

[HMBeaty]

Try this, in your FORUMHOME template, find and replace everything between:
<!-- logged-in users -->
CODE HERE
<!-- end logged-in users -->
With this:
<!-- logged-in users -->
<div id="wgo_onlineusers" class="wgo_subblock section">
<h3 class="blocksubhead"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/users_online.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase currently_active_users}" />{vb:rawphrase currently_active_users}</h3>
<div>
<p>{vb:rawphrase there_are_x_y_online_link, {vb:raw totalonline}, {vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}} <span class="shade">{vb:rawphrase x_members_and_y_guests, {vb:raw numberregistered}, {vb:raw numberguest}}</span></p>
<p>{vb:rawphrase most_users_ever_online_was_x_y_at_z, {vb:raw recordusers}, {vb:raw recorddate}, {vb:raw recordtime}}</p>
<vb:if condition="$activeusers">
<ol class="commalist" id="wgo_onlineusers_list">
<vb:each from="activeusers" value="loggedin">
<li>{vb:stylevar dirmark}<a class="username" href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw loggedin}}">{vb:raw loggedin.musername}</a>{vb:raw loggedin.invisiblemark}{vb:raw loggedin.buddymark}{vb:raw loggedin.comma}</li>
</vb:each>
</ol>
</vb:if>
</div>
</div>
<!-- end logged-in users -->

[HMBeaty]

***Make a backup of your FORUMHOME template before applying the code I posted above***

[bulldog51981]

Backup made, changes applied.....still two

grrrrrr

(not this mods fault I'm sure, but frustrating non the less)

[bulldog51981]

Update - I still do not know the original cause of the double comma, but I found in the CSS template->vbulletin.css


.commalist li:after {
content:",";
}


that the Currently Active Users calls from. So, I'm sure that there's a better way to do this but this is what I did:

In FORUMHOME find:

<ol class="commalist" id="wgo_onlineusers_list">

Replace with:

<ol class="commalist2" id="wgo_onlineusers_list">

In vbulletin.css

Find:

.commalist li {
display:inline;
}

.commalist li:after {
content:",";
}

.commalist li:last-child:after {
content:"";
}

ul.username li a,
ol.username li a,
a.username {}
.commalist li a.username {
display:inline;
}


Add below:

.commalist2 li {
display:inline;
}

.commalist2 li:after {
content:"";
}

.commalist2 li:last-child:after {
content:"";
}

ul.username li a,
ol.username li a,
a.username {}
.commalist2 li a.username {
display:inline;
}

[Boofo]

Your comma issue has nothing to do with this mod. Sounds like you missed reverting a template somewhere. Are you using the split usergroup mod that displays separate usergroups in the currently online users?

[bulldog51981]

I do have that one installed, however not using it. I disabled it thinking that might take care of it and it still added the extra comma between names. Is it a known issue? (Thank you for getting back to me on this.)

[Boofo]

Yes, that was a known issue. Try totally uninstalling it and that should fix your problem. Plus, make sure you clear your browser cache before testing it again.

[Gemma]

Thanks for the update Bob :)

[bulldog51981]

Yes, that was a known issue. Try totally uninstalling it and that should fix your problem. Plus, make sure you clear your browser cache before testing it again.

Tried uninstalling and clearing cache and still had the issue. I don't use that mod anymore so I'm leaving it uninstalled however I still had to use the fix above since the double comma remained. Thanks for the advice though, it was worth a shot. But when you get all these mods interacting with one another, havoc can reign supreme.

[Boofo]

Another thing to consider is if you are using a custom skin or didn't revert the templates when you upgraded, then some of the old code is still in there and that could be causing the issue. Some of the templates don't merge like they should on upgrades.

I am using a custom skin, though this was never a problem before. When I upgraded from 4.1.1 to 4.1.9 I did revert all templates that needed it and then added code back in to make things work again. I have a lot of mods installed too, so tracking down what was causing this would take some time. Adding something different for that list to call from in the CSS (though a little involved) has to be easier that trying to track down what cause it...lol :up:

[Boofo]

My only concern is that someone else will see that post above and think that will fix whatever problem they are having with another mod messing up or if they didn't revert their templates and then they end up blaming this mod for the issues.

How does one get the VIEW MAP option to work?

[Boofo]

From the first post:

Version 1.0.5 --Added a setting to change the color of the spider name in the listing. Added a setting for Allowed Usergroups who can view spiders in the listing. Added a "View Map" link that will show up behind the spider count (or guest count if no spiders are currently on the site) on both the Forumhome and Who's Online. This link will only be visible if you have the "Digital Point User Map" mod installed. The spiders_vbulletin.xml file has also been updated to the latest version as of February 25, 2011. => vBulletin 4.1.2 only

same with vb4.1.10

Then you must have something else going on as it works fine for me and no one else has reported any problems with the latest version update.

If I can find some time, I can fix you up a special copy that will work on your site. But it is going to have to be when I can get to it.

[Mr_Running]

FYI
upgrade to 4.1.10 and Mod Version: 1.1.2
Getting a white page on Forum

In Plugin Manager I have disabled forumhome_complete Forum is now viewable.

[Boofo]

Have you tried disabling mods that use that hook to see which one is messing with this so I can find a fix for it? I am on 4.1.10 and it shows fine for me as well as others. Are you using the split usergroups mod by chance?

[BirdOPrey5]

Newest version working fine on 4.1.10 for me. :up:

Thank you, Joe. They must have something else going on with another mod.

I am in the process of disabling mods. It appears to be DragonByte Tech: InfoPanels 2.0.3

I am not using the split usergroup mod that's here on vb org
but InfoPanels has a split usergroup (ie staff and members)

[Boofo]

Yes, that must be the one then. That was giving fits with this mod before. You need to contact them and have them do a work-a-round for it. Or have them contact me and we'll see what we can do.

[doctorsexy]

Working well for me on 4.1.10

More users should start letting them know there are issues with other mods. If they don't tell them, they won't know. I just talked to them and we will come up with some sort of fix.

[spillage]

Just did my vB4.1.10 upgrade... it went smoothly, even though I got a couple of template conflicts (that actually contained no conflicts).
Back online, checking things out, and I don't see any users/spiders listed.
Check here for updates, and low and behold, there is one.
Install this update and all is well.

Boofo, my hat's off to you good Sir... you have your finger on the pulse.
Thanks for the timely update.

[Merjawy]

Not working as it should for me....

I doesn't display the image, it only lists the name of the spider twice

Google Google Spider
just like that

I installed as default nothing to change
I double checked the image folder in style var.. all steps were correct and the images are in the right folder too

and on Who's online, no different from the way it was originally

4.1.10

Make sure the path to the spider image is set in the style variable for the mod. It is explained in the installation text file. And since you ate on firefox, the first Google in that line is from the missing image file placeholder.

[Merjawy]

It is all set including the image path in Style Var under your user name

[Boofo]

Well, it must not be correct then because that is what is happening. Did you upload the spider images to the correct path?

[Merjawy]

I would think if its not correct path, it'll show broken image or a red X. Wouldn't it?

Anyway, I made sure the images are in images/misc/ (under forum folder) .. I even put in
/forum/images/misc/name-of-the-image.png
then revered it back

[Boofo]

Not in firefox. I had someone run into the same thing and it shows as a broken image in Opera but in forefox it looks like the word, like you are experiencing.

[Merjawy]

I am on FF ..

I am going to try another FTP client and see if there is an issue while uploading it (though I use this all the time)

[Boofo]

I knew you were on firefox when you said it showed as a word. FF doesn't handle the broken images the same now. I use Total Commander for all my site FTP stuff.

[Merjawy]

son of a gun

It is the FTP client the images were not uploaded correctly

now they are showing on forum
and now you know of another way to screw easy things :)

Thanks

[Boofo]

I had no doubt is was the FTP client when you finally mentioned it. That is the cause of most home accidents. ;)

Glad you got it working.

[OldSchoolDSL]

I am in the process of disabling mods. It appears to be DragonByte Tech: InfoPanels 2.0.3

I am not using the split usergroup mod that's here on vb org
but InfoPanels has a split usergroup (ie staff and members)

Yes, that must be the one then. That was giving fits with this mod before. You need to contact them and have them do a work-a-round for it. Or have them contact me and we'll see what we can do.


I owe Boofo a public apology.

And I want to also publicly thank him for helping me track down the issue.

I'm not always the easiest person to help, since I do have so many modifications (I'm condensing now to improve that) and do not always fully understand every error that vBulletin may sometimes spit out at me.

Thank you Boofo for being understanding above and beyond.

Installed and working
4.1.10 :)

[Boofo]

You're very welcome, sir. ;)

[Mr_Running]

A big Thank you to DragonByte Tech and Boofo for working together to make: InfoPanels 2.0.4 by (dbtech) and Spider Display for vB 4 - Version 1.1.3 (By Boofo)

The split usergroup in InfoPanels (ie staff and members) now works with the Spider Display.
I believe the spiders know they are not staff or members now.
and they are proud to be Spiders. :)

Let the Spiders be Displayed !!!

Cheers,

[Boofo]

This must be the start of the "Spider Revolution" I've been hearing so much about. ;)

[Nirjonadda]

Installed But Where View Map Link & How I Can Remove Form Spiders Usergroup Legend Bar ?

[Boofo]

Version 1.0.5 --Added a setting to change the color of the spider name in the listing. Added a setting for Allowed Usergroups who can view spiders in the listing. Added a "View Map" link that will show up behind the spider count (or guest count if no spiders are currently on the site) on both the Forumhome and Who's Online. This link will only be visible if you have the "Digital Point User Map" mod installed. The spiders_vbulletin.xml file has also been updated to the latest version as of February 25, 2011. => vBulletin 4.1.2 only

[Nirjonadda]

but how i can remove spider display from Usergroup Legend bar on Forumhome?

136965

136965

[Boofo]

You would have to edit the Usergroup Legend Bar mod to remove it.

[rwoscott]

Looks great with the images.
Thanks mate, just upgraded!!

[bulldog51981]

I have tried all different combinations of the align feature and still can't get them to go across the box instead of down....what could I be missing?

http://www.stlxr.com/align.jpg

[Boofo]

What version of vb are you using?

[bulldog51981]

What version of vb are you using?

4.1.11 PL1

[Boofo]

You need to either revert your forumhome template and/or uninstall the mod that lists the usegroups on separte lines.

[ywwz]

working on 4.1.11 well. took bit long to find how to set the spider image..

[kingMOB]

Just implemented this modification: Generate Currently Active Users More Efficiently (http://articles.digitalpoint.com/content.php?r=7-Optimize-vBulletin-4#comments).

After that, any usergroup allowed to see the spiders do not get the list of active users (neither the spiders). Disabling "Spiders Display on Forumhome and Who's Online" and the list appears. Is there a way to make both work together?

The "Generate Currently Active Users More Efficiently" is only good for anything below 4.1.2. vBulletin 4.1.3 and up doesn't need that fix. What version of vb are you using?

And you need to click install if you want any more help.

4.0.8

[Boofo]

What is happening is the Spiders mod is using the old 4.0.8 code and you have updated that code to the new way it does it. You would have to edit the spiders mod xml to allow your 4.0.8 version to use the new code. It can be done fairly easily if you know what to look for. That would have to be a custom job.

[Boofo]

4.0.8

Since you uninstalled the mod, I won't bother with a fix for you then. It'll still be here when you upgrade.

[kingMOB]

This is really hard to understand =)

I came here for help because of this incompatibility, you asked what vb version I'm using and just said basically things that I already know without point the solution. Looking at the "Not Supported" alert up there and the "That would have to be a custom job" which I understood would be a paid job I uninstalled the mod. If I knew how to fix it my request for help here would be unnecessary.

6 messages and nothing =)

This is a good mod, could you please help me fix this incompatibility issue? I'll click the "Installed" up there again as you demand, even with it uninstalled since it is not working... the reason why I came here for help =)

[HellRZR]

Hi Boofo,

I installed the mod, recheck the install multiple times and the spider display does not show up? I am running VB 4.1.11 with security patch. I am however running a purchased skin which modified the forum home template. Can you give me a heads up on where I can check to see why it isn't working?

I have this running on another site without a problem.

Many thanks...

[Boofo]

Make sure to do this (as in the first post instructions):

2. Upload spiders_vbulletin.xml to the forums/includes/xml directory on your site.
3. Go to 'Admin CP -> Settings -> Options -> Who's Online Options -> Enable Spider Display' and make sure it is set to 'Yes'


If that does not fix it, the forumhome template is where you need to look then.

[HellRZR]

Double checked again, Step 2 and 3 are done correctly. What would I look for in the forumhome template. I know its theme related and not mod related, but any pointer would be much appreciated. Thank-you.

[Boofo]

Compare the original template with the changed one. If you check it in the default style, it will work.

[kingMOB]

Uninstalled. Do not work with the Generate Currently Active Users More Efficiently (http://articles.digitalpoint.com/content.php?r=7-Optimize-vBulletin-4#comments) (wich is a good modification for the ones like me that do not use version 4.1.2+).

Yes it does work with that mod. Others have used it. But, as I said before, it would have to be edited to work properly since that is not a vb default action until a later version.

[rockerzteam]

Would love to see this for 3.8.7 Alot of old school guys dont want to go to 4.x.x

[Boofo]

Since I only use vb 4 it really wouldn't be worth the time to convert it.

[rockerzteam]

Understandable. Just alot of great mods for a version that has a patch/release every month.

[L2Insomnia]

Thanks Boofo your mods are always smooth and easy. Working perfect on 4.1.12.

[chimpmaster]

Cannot use string offset as an array in /home/public_html/forum/forum.php(650) : eval()'d code on line 32

I have been using this mod on 4.1.9 and 4.1.11 and it works perfect.

I upgraded to 4.1.12 and get the above message. Any idea what the problem might be? Thanks.

[Boofo]

You have another mod messing with something then. I am using it on 4.1.12 with no issues.

[chimpmaster]

Thanks Boofo. I started turning off other mods and it was DragonByte Tech: InfoPanels (Lite) 2.0.3. They had a update to 2.0.4 and that worked. The InfoPanels crashed your mod and stopped vbull's Who's Online function from working when upgrading to 4.1.12.

I really like your mod and glad it got it back. Thanks again!

[Boofo]

I was going to ask if you were using that mod. This is from the first post in this thread. ;)

version 1.1.3 --Fixed to work with DragonByte Tech InfoPanels version 2.04 and above only.

[Delfi_r]

Is this mod working on vb 4.2?

[paulket]

Is this mod working on vb 4.2?

Yes. I installed it on vb 4.2 yesterday without any issues.

Yes. I installed it on vb 4.2 yesterday without any issues.

[Gemma]

I am using vb 4.2. But icon isnt showing. Whats wrong? any solution for this?

Did you upload the images? Also, did you set the path in the stylevars editor?

AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Style Variable Editor (Go) >

Search for boofo_spiders_icon_image and make sure it matches the image you want and the path you uploaded it to.

[twolegit]

very nice! thank you

[Superorb]

I'm not getting anything where it's supposed to be on the WGO panel. It's blank after guests. Even if there are 0 spiders crawling the page it should still say "0 spiders" right?

No. It won't show anything if there aren't any spiders

[Superorb]

No. It won't show anything if there aren't any spiders
Is there any way to always show the amount of spiders even if it's 0? IF there are 0 guests it still says there are 0 guests.

Installed and working nicely on 4.2.x. I hope that Boofo is looking down and smiling. I earnest hope that all of his great MODS are maintained by other qualified members.

[ringnews24]

5. Go to your Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> 'Spiders Display on Forumhome and Who's Online' and set the following options:
Spiders Display : Allowed Usergroups: These usergroups can view the Spiders Display on Forumhome. (Default is: '0' - All Usergroups)
Spiders Display : Show Spider Icon: Show Spider Icon to the left of each spider? (Default is: '1' - Yes)
Spiders Display : Spider Icon Vertical Position: Set the vertical-align property of the Spider Image. (Default is: 'bottom')

I got to this step but I dont see the option 'Spiders Display on Forumhome and Who's Online'

[thermax04]

Works fine on 4.1.11

[Silver_2000_)!]

Installed on 4.2.x - works fine - just need to go to the style var and click save even if you dont change anything
For me the mod didnt work right till I saved the font color - once I did that the images showed up etc

I am still seeing googlebot IPs that arent listed as google bot by name ... not sure why

[fxdigi-cash]

Thanks for the mod! yes, icons didn't show up till I saved any template.... strange, but now works fine...

possibly there is some issue with displaying as well,... not all bots are showing up...
