vBulletin CMS Widgets - Widget - Users Online

This is a widget for your CMS pages to show the Current Users Online.



You will need to Create a new Template (vbcms_widget_execphp_activeusers), Cache the template, Create a new Widget (Users Online), Configure the Widget, and then finally add the Widget to your Layout (I am not including instructions for that, you should know how to add Widgets to Layouts).

Hi, this seems not to work under 4.0.6? How do i have to change the config?

[ragtek]

If you make a new version, pls remove the iif function call

It's deprecated!
You could also use the new vB Cache, for me it's working a little bit faster then calling the normal query. And because the "who's online" is never exactly (because of the user timeout) you will never see the real users

I'm using the cache for displaying the widget and the online users on forumhome

Just tried to add this widget and I'm getting a path error: Fatal error: Class 'vBulletin' not found in /path/to/forum/packages/vbcms/widget/execphp.php.

I recently moved to a new dedicated server. What's showing in the error message is the correct path for my old server but incorrect for the new. It's odd because everything is working fine until I try to add the widget.

Where is this information stored or how do I change this?

[Lynne]

My guess would be your forgot to change some path in your vbulletin options.

[djbaxter]

Sorry... it wasn't the path at all. It was an error entering the code for the widget. Working.

Hi Lynne,

I've installed on 4.0.6, and the widget will only appear if I clear the cache. Once I navigate away from the home screen it will disappear until I clear the cache again.. any thoughts?

I'm not sure I understand. So you go to Home and it shows. Then you go to some other page and then come back to Home and it's gone? I honestly cannot reproduce this. Are there lots of users on your site? Are you sure you added the template to the correct style you are using? Do you have a url that I can see this happening?

Thank you. Is there any way to make it span the width of the screen - or designate what % or the screen it should occupy?

Mine is displayingthe centre part of the CMS. I would really lke it to display over the center and the right
