Thanks

Wonderful hack! Thank you very much!

Juust two questions:

1) How many fonts does this hack support? I've tried different ones in the CSS Style bar and have been able to only change to a couple of them.

2) Is there any way to make the letters bolder? I tried different codes, but none worked so far.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I figured out how to make the letters bolder. Just use: font-weight:bold;

Hrmm doesnt seem to do anything without the template edit?

great hack n easy 2 install

wow very easy. nice. thanks

How could I insert the variable totalonline in a phrase? (ok I know that I can't but any other way to insert the number? ).
I want to add it in $vbphrase[first_visit_message]...

Thanks!

o_O my forum has about a month and it shows more than 600 days

Installed.
Working good, thanks from Croatia!

Installed, Thanks =]

I want to add this below my time settings at the bottom of the page...I.E. "All times are GMT -5. The time now is 05:23 PM." Want it to appear below this, can anyone help.

Is it possible to add "Years" to this ?

If it is just a case of editing the xml file, then could someone tell me the code I need to do this, I am fairly confident at editing the file, I just have no idea what to put in there...LOL

GREAT MOD by the way.....:)

Works fantastic in 3.8.3;) Thanks & Klick Install!

best

I did an update and when I go to vBulletin Forum Options the Uptime text is blank, but I can still click on it and edit all the settings. Anyway I can fix this?

Doesn't work on vBulletin 4.2.3.

"PHP User Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: cyb_onlinecountup_main in ..../includes/functions.php on line 4602

PHP Warning: array_merge(): Argument #1 is not an array in ..../includes/class_bootstrap.php(1422) : eval()'d code on line 130"

Also, the name of the settings is blank/empty:

Can somebody [help make] this mod [work for] vBulletin v4.2.3?

Well, since it is a vb v3.7 plugin, it won't work, there is nothing to fix.

You know what I meant...
Edited my previous post.

Since you want to be pedantic about my wording, your statement there isn't true for all cases. Hence that statement is incorrect ;).
As there are plenty of vBulletin 3.6/3.7/3.8 mods that work perfectly fine on vB4.

Then why not use this one, which people (you included) report as working on vb v4

I don't like doing manual template edits.
I prefer it all in a plugin. If I ever want to get rid of this feature, I only have to disable/unistall as opposed to keeping track of my manual template edits.

good point :)
