None of my mods will install on Alpha/Beta/RC versions. No one should be running them.

Okay, it does work on 3.8 RC2 though. I know that isn't your point but it does.

Yes, I expect most of them will, but as you say, thats not the point. No one should be running a live site on a beta/RC version, I wont support them, so I (quite deliberately) restrict them from installing on such. :)

I'm trying to figure out where the plugin code is where it looks for this showthread_after_activeusers - what plugin is that stored in? My template does not have that hook and as such does not display. I have to edit one or the other, the template or the associated plugin for this mod.

Thank you for posting that! It's amazing how the developers assume everyone knows what a hook is or how to add a hook to a template. Been using vB since 2005 and never experienced having to manually add a hook to a template before. :)

Its already in the default vb template, you must be using an old customised version.

Okay, here's an issue that no one else seems to have had, or reported. I could not get this add-on to work, no matter what I tried. Everything looked correct, hooks in place, settings correct, etc. And here's how I fixed it...

In the SHOWTHREAD template, change the code seen here (vBulletin default!) in bold red text:


to the code seen here in bold green text:


So the HTML comments must be outside of the conditional statement. Otherwise, the following setting in ACP won't be activated:
The default text string shown there is: <!-- end currently active users -->

Has no one else run across this problem when trying to get the add-on to work?

No one has come across it, or reported it, for a very simple reason - it doesnt exist in the 3.8 version (which is what this thread is). This version uses a template hook, not previously available.

In previous versions (3.5/6/7) you will find the following clearly stated ;
Due to what you found above :)

Ah, that explains it. I just checked and see that I have version 3.41, and I was sure I had downloaded 3.8! My bad. Downloading again right now. :)


Edit: Yes, I did have 3.8 downloaded but I also had the older version on my hard drive, and mistakenly installed it on a new site. :rolleyes:

Installed. Many thanks !
