Add-On Releases - Spiders Display on Forumhome and Who's Online for vb4

Spider Display for vB 4
Version 1.1.3
(By Boofo)

What does this product do?
This product will display the number of spiders on Forumhome and Who's Online. It will also add the count behind the spider name on Forumhome if there is more than one of a certain spider [ i.e. Google (3) ].

Credits:
A big thank you goes out to Adrian for helping me come up with the fix for this for vB 4.1.2, and straightening me out on keys in an array. Also, thanks to Paul M and Mosh for the comma fix for 4.1.8. Another thanks goes out to Mosh for the image file as well as making the mod work with all versions of vB 4. And yet another thank you goes out to HMBeaty for helping me find the fix for vB 4.1.10 and testing it thoroughly.

Version Information:
Version 1.0.0 --Initial release for vB 4
Version 1.0.1 --The count variable was wrong for the spider plural convention. Thanks goes out to Mosh for catching it. Also, the spiders_vbulletin.xml file has been updated to a more recent version, and the link for it below has been changed to another site that is keeping it up to date better than the original spiders list.
Version 1.0.2 --Fixed double comma issue with vB 4.0.5 in IE8.
Version 1.0.3 --Fixed issue with spiders displaying in a vertical listing in some browsers. The phrase ",with 0 spiders" will no longer show when there are no spider names listed.
Version 1.0.4 --Fixed to work with vB 4.1.2. Also, the "spiders_vbulletin.xml" file has been updated to the latest version as of February 15, 2011. => vBulletin 4.1.2 only
Version 1.0.5 --Added a setting to change the color of the spider name in the listing. Added a setting for Allowed Usergroups who can view spiders in the listing. Added a "View Map" link that will show up behind the spider count (or guest count if no spiders are currently on the site) on both the Forumhome and Who's Online. This link will only be visible if you have the "Digital Point User Map" mod installed. The spiders_vbulletin.xml file has also been updated to the latest version as of February 25, 2011. => vBulletin 4.1.2 only
Version 1.0.6 --Removed font color setting and added Style Variable setting for the Spider Display Font Color, so it can be set for each style separately. Set the dependency minversion to 4.1.2 in the xml file so there would be no improper version installs anymore. The spiders_vbulletin.xml file has also been updated to the latest version as of March 15, 2011. => vBulletin 4.1.2 only
Version 1.0.7 --Now fully phrased, as requested. => vBulletin 4.1.2 only
Version 1.0.8 --Should now work with all versions of vB 4, from 4.0.0 and up, including 4.1.8. Added a spider image to show before each spider, if the setting is enabled. It is off by default. The "spiders_vbulletin.xml" file has been updated to the latest version as of November 29, 2011.
Version 1.0.9 --Added a white spider icon image to go with styles that are dark. A setting has been added to choose what color image (black or white) you want to display before each spider name in the listing. The "spiders_vbulletin.xml" file has been updated to the latest version as of January 1, 2012.
Version 1.1.0 --Removed setting to choose the color of the spider icon and replaced it with a new style variable for the path to what spider image you wish to display for each style.
Version 1.1.1 --Added a setting to set the vertical alignment of the Spider Image. Added some more spider images.
Version 1.1.2 --Fixed to work on vB 4.1.10.

There has to be another mod messing with it somewhere. If you aren't running vb 4.1.2, as you have stated, then you would have gotten the error and that should have been it. Others have made the same mistake of installing the 4.1.2 version on pre-4.1.2 vb and have not shown the symptoms that you have had. I did it myself to see if I could duplicate it, but nothing stuck. My advice would be to disable one mod at a time to see if that clears it up.

Thanks Boofo, but I don't have that kind of knowledge, just being an old Fortran programmer out of the 1960's ...

It never conflicted with anything before I installed v1.05, so I think I'm going to have pass on using the mod further since everything else is currently running fine, however, I appreciate your efforts to develop mods for the community.

Un-installed v1.03 ....

Regards,
Doug

That was going to be my next suggestion, but I knew you would end up there anyway.

I have a little bug with this mod!

Two times the spiders are shown in the WGO plus when there is a spider online the connected users bar diseppears. I post a screenshot to see what I mean. Please help!



Thank you in advance for every reply!

[Boofo]

That is because you are using 2 spiders mods. The other spider mod you are using is causing the problem.

,with 1 spider and 1 spiders

[Mikevet1984]

Thank you, Boofo! You are correct. Much appreciated....

I don't seem to have this option in the acp, "Spiders Display on Forumhome and Who's Online". Any ideas? I'm on 4.1.1 and using the guest tracking mod too.

The spiders are showing up fine on forum home and who's online, I don't have an option to change the settings for the mod though.

[Boofo]

The settings are only for the v4.1.2 of this mod, for use on vb 4.1.2 only. The other version does not have the settings.

[traen]

Is it possible to add the code into the mod for 4.1.1?

[Boofo]

Possible? Yes. Probable. No.
