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.

Your comma issue has nothing to do with this mod. Sounds like you missed reverting a template somewhere. Are you using the split usergroup mod that displays separate usergroups in the currently online users?

I do have that one installed, however not using it. I disabled it thinking that might take care of it and it still added the extra comma between names. Is it a known issue? (Thank you for getting back to me on this.)

[Boofo]

Yes, that was a known issue. Try totally uninstalling it and that should fix your problem. Plus, make sure you clear your browser cache before testing it again.

Thanks for the update Bob

Tried uninstalling and clearing cache and still had the issue. I don't use that mod anymore so I'm leaving it uninstalled however I still had to use the fix above since the double comma remained. Thanks for the advice though, it was worth a shot. But when you get all these mods interacting with one another, havoc can reign supreme.

Another thing to consider is if you are using a custom skin or didn't revert the templates when you upgraded, then some of the old code is still in there and that could be causing the issue. Some of the templates don't merge like they should on upgrades.

I am using a custom skin, though this was never a problem before. When I upgraded from 4.1.1 to 4.1.9 I did revert all templates that needed it and then added code back in to make things work again. I have a lot of mods installed too, so tracking down what was causing this would take some time. Adding something different for that list to call from in the CSS (though a little involved) has to be easier that trying to track down what cause it...lol :up:

[Boofo]

My only concern is that someone else will see that post above and think that will fix whatever problem they are having with another mod messing up or if they didn't revert their templates and then they end up blaming this mod for the issues.
