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).

1.0 2009-12-17: initial release by Lynne at vbulletin.org (pre 4.0)
1.- 2010-01-07 - French translation included thanks to albibak (version 1.0)

If this is an issue with any php widget, then you might want to check the bug tracker because there is a bug with certain users using the php widget.

Actually, I think the question is more geared towards making it a forum sidebar, not CMS widget.

I actually have the same question and is why I was checking this thread. I don't like the WOL on the bottom of the website and want it on the sidebar (as I used to have it with VBA).

If you throw this code into a php block, comment out the includes line at the top, and change the template to vbcms_widget_execphp_activeusers, then it should work just fine on the forum index page.

Edit:

Ok, I have a better understanding of what you meant. Haven't gotten it working yet, but don't want to muddy up your thread for this mod. Thanks as always Lynne!

Edit #2:

All working now as a sidebar block! Had to do some editing as the sidebar blocks are displayed differently than the CMS ones, but I have it working and looking how I want it! Thank you again!

Awesome! Works great - thanks!

Is there any reason I'm missing that guests can't view the widget? I have permissions set correctly (I think).
