Hi, this seems not to work under 4.0.6? How do i have to change the config?

If you make a new version, pls remove the iif function call;)

It's deprecated!
You could also use the new vB Cache, for me it's working a little bit faster then calling the normal query. And because the "who's online" is never exactly (because of the user timeout) you will never see the real users;)

I'm using the cache for displaying the widget and the online users on forumhome

Just tried to add this widget and I'm getting a path error: Fatal error: Class 'vBulletin' not found in /path/to/forum/packages/vbcms/widget/execphp.php.

I recently moved to a new dedicated server. What's showing in the error message is the correct path for my old server but incorrect for the new. It's odd because everything is working fine until I try to add the widget.

Where is this information stored or how do I change this?

My guess would be your forgot to change some path in your vbulletin options.

Sorry... it wasn't the path at all. It was an error entering the code for the widget. Working.

Hi Lynne,

I've installed on 4.0.6, and the widget will only appear if I clear the cache. Once I navigate away from the home screen it will disappear until I clear the cache again.. any thoughts?

I'm not sure I understand. So you go to Home and it shows. Then you go to some other page and then come back to Home and it's gone? I honestly cannot reproduce this. Are there lots of users on your site? Are you sure you added the template to the correct style you are using? Do you have a url that I can see this happening?

That's right.....shows on the home page, but go to blog and come back home it's gone. Strange?...sent you pm link

Thank you. Is there any way to make it span the width of the screen - or designate what % or the screen it should occupy?

Mine is displayingthe centre part of the CMS. I would really lke it to display over the center and the right

Forget this. I'm only just starting the learn my way round the layouts and grids.
It's sorted.

... However, are you able to give me a quick tip as to how to reduce the text size because it seems to have different text attributes to the forum who's on line. Also the borders of the box surrounding the cms who's online mod.

Sorry for the trouble.

OK, sorted the border color. It's called content_background. - not very logical

Just the font size now

If anyone knows how to change the font size in this widget, I'd be very pleased to know about it.

The font size in there is just set by the body tag which is set by the stylevar "font"

It is very kind of you to come back on this so quickly. However (sorry for being thick) - where do I find that please.

Style Manager > find your style in the list > StyleVars > type "font" in the top box > select Font in list > Edit stylevar > Save

Thanks again for this. However, there is quite a list of different sylevars all with the word font in them. I can't seem to find the relevant one. Are you able to help again?

It is just called "font".

I found it. Thanks. However, I changed the font size from 13 tp 10 but it doesn't affect your CMS mod.

Affected a lot of other things on the main board but not on the CMS

I tried it on my totally default 4.0.6 test board and it did affect this widget (and the other widgets). I'm not sure why it isn't on your board. You may need to play with firebug and figure out what class is overriding the body tag for it.

Thanks.

Anyway, it works very well. I'm pleased with it and the font problem has nothing to do with the mod.

Thanks Lynne! Works great on 4.06

It just gives me:
Most users ever online was , at .

:(

Try going through the install instructions again in the first post because I just installed this fresh on a new 4.0.7 test site of mine and it works just fine.

I've added this to the left side of my homepage. Once I completed it I saw it where I wanted and it displayed correctly. Then I refreshed the page and it disappeared. Now it only appears sporatically. Did I do something wrong?

Are you the only person on your forum? If so, I have heard it can be sporatic sometimes and so the best thing to do is remove the condition around the template.

No, we've got a bunch of people on there! What does removing the condition do? Also, how would I do that?

There is a condition around the contents of the template:
Just remove the condition and see if that fixes the issue. Otherwise, I don't know what to tell you because I have never been able to replicate this issue on any of my default vbulletin boards so there isn't anything I can do if I can't replicate it.

If I delete the condition code then it just displays the box, but without any values. Just says this in the box "There are currently users online. members and guests
Most users ever online was , at" Could it have something to do with being cached every 5 mins? That seems to be how long it takes it to show up again!

I set the cache to 0. However, you also have to apply the bug fix for that that is over in the bug tracker at vb.com

It does seem to be related to the cache as I lowered it to a minute and it now shows up more frequenlty. As far as the bug fix, anyway you could point me there? I put that in the search over there and didn't get any results that were anywhere near that.

Thank you Lynne (This should be standard IMO for the Vbul software, because when people visit the url it takes them to the homepage (CMS page) not the forum page.)

Again Thank you Lynne.

Actually, that is up to you to set up. Open the index.php file and just comment out the line that directs you to content.php and uncomment that line to direct you to the forum.php page.

Oh I didn't know that thank you. Sort of along the same lines maybe you can help with this. When members sign in it takes them to the forum page instead of the home page. Is there a way to change that?


Thanks,
TD

Probably one of the "print_standard_redirect" lines in the register.php page. I've never looked in to changing the default action, so I couldn't tell you exactly which one.

Can anyone post their execphp.php, The fix does not seem to work for me and I want to make sure I have mine right.

Works perfectly on vB Suite 4.0.7 :D

Thank you very much for this great widget :up:

I have so many users on line.
the widget is very looong.
is there a way to set maximum height of the widget ?

You could probably set a height in this part of the template:
You may have to set the overflow property to hidden also.
