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!!!

Please see the very first post in this thread. That is covered there.

I did try this below, but it did not work.

NOTE: To get this to work with the Everywhere Sidebar modification, add this to the top of the block code posted in Step 3 above:

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

The link to your site doesn't work, so I can't see what the problem is. Perhaps you have a problem with another modification. That code has worked with others and works on my default test site.

edit: I just found your forums here - http://tastetestedrecipes.com/forum.php (no /forums in the path). You don't even have the block on the page. I see you have the widget in your cms, but no block. Are you sure you are looking at the correct code? Widgets and Blocks are not the same thing.

Sorry about that Lynne- I am so used to typing 'forums' but I installed my new forum under root.

Yes I have the block created, but it does not show. If I disable the ESB it shows up. I will go disable it now so you can see the block works without ESB.

Maybe it is the version of ESB I installed? I also have very few mods installed on this forum, have not gotten too many installed yet.

I cannot get any of my blocks that use a custom template to show up using the new version of the Everywhere Sidebar mod.

[GONUMBER6]

I disabled all mods and it still did not show up.

So maybe I should try downloading the previous version?

Perhaps you didn't follow the instructions and create the new template and then assign this template to the block? It definitely works on my totally default 4.1.2 forum.

Just double checked and I did create the Block users online.

I don't know what it is. Maybe I will try to add the ESB to my other forum and see if the same thing happens. I will let you know.

I have too many mods on my other forum- it was making blank pages. It's okay, I would rather have who's online on forum home than ESB installed.
