I'm using vb 4.2, and it shows up in the vba portal when using Firefox, but it does not show up when using any other browser.

Does anybody know what the problem could be, and how to fix it?

It will not run on 4.2 pl3. Will there be a fix for this version, soon?

I am running an unmodified version of 4.2.1 on my test site and it shows up just fine for me.

It shows up in my 4.2 test forum like this

Are you using version 1.4?

Yes, I'm using version 1.4

I've made ​​everything new again and now it works, thanks

Is there the possibility that the user names which are currently online, are displayed in the widget?

It should show the list of users that are online underneath the "Most users ever online..." line (assuming you have the setting turned on in AdminCP > Settings > Options > Forum Home Options > Display Users Online)

Display Users Online is on!

Can you post a link to your site so we can see the issue?

here it is!

I don't see it at all. Do you only allow logged in users to view it? Do you have a test login account?

Ah yes, sorry! I send the test login account in a pm.

Lynne,
I am running version 4.2.0. I've had the same issue where it shows up correctly then disappears on going to another page and returning. I tried removing the conditional as you suggested but as Gomojoe said that results in no data showing up. What am I missing? This is a great mod if the disappearing issue can be resolved. I have read every post in this thread and if there's a fix I I'm too dense to have found it. Thanks in advance!

Nevermind - it seems that setting the widget cache to 0 resolved the issue for me. Great little mod Lynne.

Lynne - I do have one question. I want to change the widget header from 'Currently Active Users' to something shorter. Can you give specific directions on how to edit that (I know I have to edit a template but can't seem to get it to work?

Either change the phrase currently_active_users to say what you want instead, or edit the template and replace this text with what you want:
{vb:rawphrase currently_active_users}

That did it - thanks Lynne! You're the bomb.

Great Job!
Thank you!

Version 1.4 works with vb 4.2.2P1

Still works in 4.2.2!

How hard would it be to modify this to show current Friends online similar to the vba buddy list?

Mine doesn't appear to be sorting ASC, I see the code there but the result looks random, not sorting by username or id or anything I can tell.
