I had some buddies show up unexpectedly tonight, and many beers were quaffed, and I decided to put off anything serious until tomorrow.

You will likely want to set "Cache Time (in minutes)" to 0 so that this information is always current. This is the PHP content I used on my dev site to show all Math Helpers currently online:

PHP Code:

global $vbulletin, $db;
$groupid = 13;
$groupname = 'Math Helpers';
$output = '<div class="restore"><ul>';

$users_online = $vbulletin->db->query_read("
    SELECT user.*, session.loggedin
    FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user
    INNER JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "session AS session
    ON session.userid = user.userid
    WHERE (user.usergroupid = " . $groupid . "
    OR " . $groupid . " IN (user.membergroupids))
    AND session.loggedin > 0
    ORDER BY user.lastactivity DESC
");

$count = 0;
while ($member = $db->fetch_array($users_online))
{
    $output .= '<li>' . helper_link($member, $member['lastactivity']) . '</li>';
    $count++;
}

$output .= '</ul></div>';

$output = '<div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 1em">' . $count . ' ' . $groupname . ' Online</div>' . $output;

return $output;

function helper_link($user_name, $dateline)
{
    global $vbulletin;
    $link = 'member.php?do=getinfo&username=' . $user_name['username'];

    if ($user_name['displaygroupid'])
    {
        $groupid = $user_name['displaygroupid'];
    }
    else
    {
        $groupid = $user_name['usergroupid'];
    }

    $open_tag = $vbulletin->usergroupcache[$groupid]['opentag'];
    $close_tag = $vbulletin->usergroupcache[$groupid]['closetag'];
    $title = 'Last Activity: ' . vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $dateline, 1) . ' at ' . vbdate($vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $dateline);
    return '<a title="' . $title . '" href="' . $link . '">' . $open_tag . $user_name['username'] . $close_tag . '</a>';
} 


You will want to edit these two lines near the top:

PHP Code:

$groupid = 13;
$groupname = 'Math Helpers'; 


to use the groupid and groupname of your choice.

This will list all users currently online who are a member of the selected usergroupid, and list them in descending order by the time of their last activity.

I should also add, that if you wish to use multiple groupids (and have user avatars displayed), I recommend checking out Joe's (BirdOPrey5) product here:
