Current Staff Online Forum Sideblock and CMS Widget by BOP5 · **Released**: 06-18-2012

Brought to you by BirdOPrey5
www.Qapla.com

New Version: 0.99 Beta
New in 0.99

Added Widget
Added Settings instead of manual configuration
Added phrases for "None" and "No staff currently online." text.
Made code more compatible with older VB Versions (should work in 4.1.x now)

This is my first attempt at a Sideblock and Widget. The purpose of this is to list all forum staff members online.

There are settings to choose which usergroups are considered staff groups and for other basic settings.

The product .xml file contains the necessary templates and phrases but you will need to manually install the sideblock code itself and/or manually create the widget.

Specific installation instructions are in the .txt file in the zip file but the overall process is:

Upload the Product XML File
Add code to additional.css template
Edit Settings in Admin CP -> Options to setup your options
Create Sideblock (if using Sideblock)
Create Widget (if using widget)
Add Widget to Layout(s) (if using widget)

Overall this is working well- it is Beta as it's my fist Sideblock and Widget. I know it works on VB 4.2.0 but it should work on earlier versions as well (code was revised in Beta 0.99 for greater compatibility.)

If you get an error at the top of the browser window when you enable the sideblock or widget you know your VB version is too old.

In addition to working with my Font Selection by Username mod it will also work withe my Sidebar Anywhere mod.

Does not work with "Everywhere Sidebar" mod but DOES work with MY "Sidebar Anywhere" mod.

Installed on 4.2.0 and it shows the user names overlapping each other.
How can this be resolved?

BirdOPrey5 · #**114** 06-06-2013, 06:39 PM

Did you add the required code to additional.css template?

Can you post a link where it happens or a screenshot?

Hi,

Mine is showing a very big avatar and a username below the avatar... btw I changed the avatar size of a usergroup to 150/190... where can I specify the height/width of the avatar in staff online?

also..

how can I make it look like that... avatar on the left side and a username on right side... and rank title below the username?

mine is not using a rank title.

just a big avatar on top and this the username below the avatar

You need to add the code in the readme / instructions file to the additional.css template as described.

Also it shows User Titles, not ranks.

Ah sorry I forgot that part... Thanks.. its working fine now...

If there are no staff online, instead of saying there are no staff online, any way to hide the block completely and go to the next block? (In my case, Currently Active Users.) Like on XenForo.

BirdOPrey5 · #**120** 07-06-2013, 09:33 PM

Will look into that in a future update.

findingpeace · #**121** 07-08-2013, 12:18 PM

This is great! Is there any way to get the # of Staff currently online? For example, in the block title "Staff Online (#)"

I imagine this must be a SQL query or plugin somewhere. Any help would really be appreciated!
