vBulletin Forum Sideblocks - Block - Users Online

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!!!

Yes, you would need to add the code from the forum.php page to get that info. Problem is, it is from the datamanager and I know I couldn't grab the datamanager info when I had this code in the widget and I didn't even bother to try for this block. Someone asked me for the code to put the widget in the block and so that's exactly what I did.

Hi, noticed an error that I get from this mod (found it was this by disabling and enabling the different mods i have).

When I log out (with this mod enabled) this is the error I get:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function fetch_online_status() in /home/*****/public_html/radio1/includes/block/html.php(89) : eval()'d code on line 93

line 93 of the includes/block/html.php code is:

	$content = nl2br(htmlspecialchars_uni($this->config['html_content']));

when the mod is disabled .. this error doesn't happen .. any suggestions?

What version of vB are you guys running? And what browser? I can't reproduce either of these errors on my 4.0.1 test site (either suite or forums only) using either firefox or safari.

This is on the forum.php page, right? If you are using some mod to make it show on other pages, then you need to include the function, and maybe other functions that are in the functions_bigthree.php file.

ahh, yes sorry its the "EveryWhere Sidebar" mod that gives it the error when both mods are on ...

im not sure what functions would be needed to be added .. could u explain or should i be asking the developer of that mod?

thanks

Try this.... at the top of the block code, add this line and see if it fixes the issue:

PHP Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT != 'index') {
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_bigthree.php'); 
}
