Installed and working great ;)

Only problem i have is that it messes my gallery table on the forumhome template.

http://www.bluepearl-design.com/forums/

Anyway i can fix this?

Its possible, if we store the information in a database and then retrieve it after fixed intervals using cron tabs but then the informaiton will not be "LIVE". However, if somebody can make this possible then i will gladly add that to the first post with full credits. :devious:


Hi Griffin,

I think you finally figured it out. :) Nice site btw. Great Styles!!

thx man, yeah i got it sorted after i posted for help lol always the way

Do NOT use this with 3.5.3! Unless you want your database to go bye-bye :ermm:

been using this on my forum running 3.5.3 for about 3 weeks or more, and havent had any problems yet

I don't know what had happen but after installing the product. My site had caused a major serious error and then I couldn't even find the product to removed it.

I just upgraded to 3.5.4. I installed this because Im using the styles from vbskinworks.com and they recommended this plug-in.

This is the error I am getting:

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.4:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT userid, username FROM vbuser WHERE vbuserid=113;

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'vbuserid' in 'where clause'
Error Number : 1054
Date : Tuesday, February 21st 2006 @ 10:26:49 PM
Script : http://www.zonaxbox360.com/
Referrer :
IP Address : 70.45.48.203
Username : Lord Badr
Classname : vb_database

My table prefix is 'vb'

Please help.

Well John must have 'recommended' it a long time ago, because this plugin hasn't worked with their skins since 3.5.2 :nervous:

Im using this plugin for the blackteal skin and its working perfectly on 3.5.3 and 3.5.4..

It's not a matter of 'if' :rolleyes: The plugin is rated to work up to V. 3.5.2 and has already been documented to cause server problems. If you want to use it then that's your business, but a false sense of security is often worse than no security at all :ermm: If one day your entire board 'suddenly' goes down, then you might want to start diagnostics testing with this plugin. Enjoy.

Dude chill your attitude... jeez.. just trying to find some info.

There are a few styles we offer pre-coded to have the ability to display live forum statistics in the header. We have simply coded the skin but there is a plugin we provide a link to that actually make this happen.

This plugin was released for free from vbulletin.org and as such is not warrantied nor supported by vBSkinworks.

As with any add-on or hack, it is highly recommended that you backup your database prior to installing and further, we recommend you familiarize yourself with how this plugin works and any issues you may encounter.

The plugin may be found and researched at: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=95493

Thank You, The vBSkinworks Team

I am running this plugin on vBSkinworks with no issues (version 3.5.4), however, the plugin does add 5 sql queries so that is something to keep in mind when deciding whether to use it. My experience has been when the database errors occur, it's related to table prefixes of your vb database. The author has addressed this earlier in this thread with an altered version of the plugin and that is the one I use.

works great for me with the blackteal skin on 3.5.4

How come the total posts on my header says 280,848 but the total posts in the Forum Statistics at the bottom of the forumhome template says 280,022?

Do they take the information from different sources?

This hacks counts all the posts in your database whether they are under usergroup restrictions or not which i think is the true count of posts in your forums. :)

Well how can i get them to be the same, can i change the at the bottom of the site to show the same number of posts as the one at the top?

is there a way to uninstall this thing ? It has messed up my whole website!

where can I d/l the newest version in zip format or do I just d/l the XML file next to the instructions. I tryed that but get errors. anyone have a link to a good d/l thanks again.

Hey, PM me on my site and I'll send you the one you need that will work for you ;)

Installed!

hey mate, was going to install, but what is stated above is a bit of a worry for me... I have admin/mod/official sections which only those usergroups have access to, I don't want to display more posts than what my members can actually see, and if it shows a different count from the stats down the bottom, then it could be seen as a 'bug' by my members

Is there any need to show both the stats at all... just remove the stats down the bottom !! ;)

sorry, don?t work.

I have tried all sorts of things but it simply does not work.

i've had to use impex on my old vb sqldb and move to a new, but on the new one after running all kinda "maintance" i still cant get the this plugin to show anything at the header...
the default stats update like no problem, but nothing comes up on top...

i think you would have to install the plugin again.

me too having the same problem to 2 of our client skin;

the plugin was installed and the code is put in header template properly.Any clue Mr Singh?

I am having a custom skin designed for 3.5.1 and installed this just a few minutes ago. It worked like a charm but it messed with my photo thumbnail table below the masthead by scrunching (technical term) the thumbnails to the left. Not only that, it did the same thing to my current skin which isn't even using the plugin.

Any ideas or suggestions as to a fix? I turned off this plugin and all returned to normal. I can post an image if it may help.

Thanks!

Just to follow up, here are screen shots which show the problem better.

Hi Jeff, sorry for a late reply... see you dont have to put the same html formatting i used for an example....

So, even the following code should work for you!!

I am still getting the same error with the thumbnails shifting. Here is the code:

I assume this has to be in the plug-in code itself as my current template, that doesn't even use this plugin, has a shift of the photo gallery thumbnails when the plugin is activated.

It looks my problem is a repeat of a previous one. Anyone know the solution? Thanks.

Hi,

Does this hack also allow the "Most users ever online" record to be updated from any page as well? By default, this record seems to only updated when somebody views the index.php file and the current number of active users is higher than the current record. Does your hack update this from any page? Thanks!

i'm using deliosso, and it says i "must" have this plugin, i've tried both versions of the xml but can't seem to get it to work, any tip's on what it might be ??

It's just not showing ANYTHING :-)
This is on a vbulletin v3.5.4 where all users are imported via impex :-D

I only used this hack for the "total users online" in the top header... and removed the extra queries :) for the other stats

thanks so much ;) working great and as desired.

Sweet!

Installed :laugh:

The first xml messed up the board and the db didn't work but I deleted that one and installed the second xml and now it's a treat... Thanks...

hey man can we make it work for the left column i tried but it didnt show the numbers???

Hi,

Thanks for a great hack! Is there some way of getting some (or all the information to update themselves via AJAX? I am especially interested in updating the number of users online every x amount of minutes/hours.

If possible, could you do this in the next version (perhaps make it an option)?

Great hack, thank you :)

i'm a little problem :p

The hack statistics are differents from that of vBulletin. (screen)
