This is a block for your forum sideblocks to show the Current Users Online.
You will need to Create a new Template (block_users_online), Cache the template, Create a new Block (Users Online), and then, optionally, remove the Currently Active Users list from the bottom of the page.
1.1 2010-06-12: Added in Most users ever online. Updated for 4.0.3.
1.2 2010-06-23: Updated to work for 4.0.4.
1.3 2011-11-17: Fixed template and block code for use in 4.1.8.
1.4 2012-06-05: Fixed template for use in 4.2.0.
Installation instructions for 4.2.0, 4.1.8 and pre-4.1.8 are included in the 1.4 download. Please make sure you use the correct Installation Instructions as both the block code and the template code are different depending on the version you are running. Read them carefully!!!
I've followed the instructions in detail and reviewed them all several times, but nothing at all shows up in my Everywhere Sidebar. I did note the extra code for the Everywhere Sidebar and included it.
All this does absolutely nothing to my forum. I was so hopeful too!
The only thing I can see is that the template was put under the "block templates" category -- not sure how to move that.
I'm in 4.1.3 version.
Any ideas what I did wrong?

The issue with that mod is covering in the first post and also several other places in this thread.
For anyone who's asking about a solution for this mod to work with everywhere sidebar, upload a older version of ES4 like 1.3.4 (You can download it from the coder's site). It should works well.
I have tested with the latest version of ES4, it doesnt work with any of my block using custom block template.
Thanks! it works fine in my sidebar, your directions worked great, thanks!
EDIT: But just added Everywhere Sidebar, and now it doesn't show, even with your extra step done. So I'm just going to not use Everywhere Sidebar till I find an easy answer, I'd rather show your block.
Seems like a cool mod, and it's surprising this isn't a default block (or that ESB isn't default), and it's a real shame it's become an either-or situation.
