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).

It does seem to be related to the cache as I lowered it to a minute and it now shows up more frequenlty. As far as the bug fix, anyway you could point me there? I put that in the search over there and didn't get any results that were anywhere near that.

Thank you Lynne (This should be standard IMO for the Vbul software, because when people visit the url it takes them to the homepage (CMS page) not the forum page.)

Again Thank you Lynne.

Actually, that is up to you to set up. Open the index.php file and just comment out the line that directs you to content.php and uncomment that line to direct you to the forum.php page.

Oh I didn't know that thank you. Sort of along the same lines maybe you can help with this. When members sign in it takes them to the forum page instead of the home page. Is there a way to change that?


Thanks,

Probably one of the "print_standard_redirect" lines in the register.php page. I've never looked in to changing the default action, so I couldn't tell you exactly which one.

Can anyone post their execphp.php, The fix does not seem to work for me and I want to make sure I have mine right.

[IainMustardGas]

Works perfectly on vB Suite 4.0.7

Thank you very much for this great widget :up:

[albanah]

I have so many users on line.
the widget is very looong.
is there a way to set maximum height of the widget ?

[Lynne]

You could probably set a height in this part of the template:

<div class="cms_widget_content" style="height: 100px;">

You may have to set the overflow property to hidden also.
