Online now box position

[PamelaE]

Hi,

Is there a way I can customise the Online Now box, basically I want it to display at the top of forum home.

I managed to get it up there http://www.soapchat.net

But the box is missing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

See my 3.5.0 at http://www.tuff-teach.com

Here's what I did to get Active Users on top at tuff-teach.com. Use it with caution, since I am a relative goof-up. I don't always know what I'm doing:

Be careful, because this code includes commenting out the "most ever online" line.

From the original forumhome template, in the "What's Up" box that is at the bottom, I removed this code:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$show['loggedinusers']">
<!-- logged-in users -->
<tbody>
    <tr>
        <td class="thead" colspan="2">
            <a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_activeusers')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_activeusers" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_activeusers].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
            <a href="online.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[currently_active_users]</a>: $totalonline (<phrase 1="$numberregistered" 2="$numberguest">$vbphrase[x_members_and_y_guests]</phrase>)
        </td>
    </tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_activeusers" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_activeusers]">
    <tr>
        <td class="alt2"><a href="online.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/whos_online.gif" alt="$vbphrase[view_whos_online]" border="0" /></a></td>
        <td class="alt1" width="100%">
            <div class="smallfont">
                <div style="white-space: nowrap"><phrase 1="$recordusers" 2="$recorddate" 3="$recordtime">$vbphrase[most_users_ever_online_was_x_y_at_z]</phrase></div>
                <div>$activeusers</div>
            </div>
        </td>
    </tr>
</tbody>
<!-- end logged-in users -->
</if> 


And pasted it near the top of forumhome, in between "navbar" and "main".

I also added this to the end, right after the <!-- end logged-in users -->
</if>

PHP Code:

</thead>
</table> 


I don't know if that's needed or not, but that's what my examdif program shows.

Thanks but I did exactly what you did and I don't get the nice neat box you do. No table, its just messy. It seems to have worked fine for you. I wonder why.

Actually I this thread explains it http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=104605

Im not sure whats different but that has created a table cell for me.
