Miscellaneous Hacks - User-Online-Photolist

Demo

You can see the Hack acitve on my site: www.nlp-deutschland.de/forum
It?s the Online-List at the right.
When logged in users also get a "PM-Link". ;-)

Dependencies

This Mod is an port from https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=130662. It is a mod for vBa and needs vBa installed to work. With the vBa-integration-method this mod can be displayd on every vBulletin-Page.

What does it do?

The mod shows a List with all logged in users on the right or on the left of the current page. The users are shown with avatar or profile-pic, sorted by activity, friends and buddys appear on the top.

Installation:

Install the module in vBa:
- admincp
- vBa --> add module
- choose the module-file (xml)
- the needet php-file will be created automatically. Two templates are inserted.
- Define in vBa where you want to have this module shown up

Then define your settings in admincp --> vBa --> edit Module --> Users Online:

- Size Thumbnails is the maximum-size of the pictures
- Truncate Usernameis the maximum number of letters that should shown in a username. If the username is longer it will be truncated.
- Display pictures is an option to just show the users Online without photos
- Display myself is the option that you can hide the actual user. Should the user, who is online, see himself in the list?
- Linkback --> you can turn off the automatic Backlink in the module, but I kindly ask you for a backlink in the footer or somewhere else, just as a thank you.
- Backlink Option: If you have a german website we can use the affiliate-system instead of the "normal" backlink. Sent me a PN when you?re interested.

Enjoy the mod!

All the best, Julian!


PS: I kindly ask you to remember the backlink to www.nlp-deutschland.de (Key: NLP). I really need it in the moment and I totally agree with a small backlink in the footer or something like that.

This hack would be nice if someone can port this over to VPORTAL, not everyone uses Vba.

I don't get it, are you suggesting me to install vBa and not to show it anywhere so I can use this mod?

This hack would be nice if someone can port this over to VPORTAL, not everyone uses Vba.

Well ... it?s easy: I use vBa and this is the Module I use. I invite everybody to use it for free ... but my needs are to have it "easy". The easiest way to do that for my opinion is with vBa. vBa is easy to install, works brilliant and gives me the chance, to show this list on every vB-Page I want.

If somebody wants to use it without vBa the question is: How? If you just insert a new template it would not appear in a side-box. Sure, there are ways, but I think they are getting much more difficult then using vBa.

When somebody prefears to have it without vBa feel free to change the hack. But I cannot offer you more then I have: I have it for vBa. To use it without vBa you will need to make it on your own. ;-)

@7lanet:
Exactly that: It?s not a plugin and it?s not a porduct. It?s a module. When you want to install it as a plugin or as a product ... you will get an error-message. ;-)

Best wishes, Julian!

I don't know how to install it as module. VBA accepts only php files as module, if I use this xml file I receive an error on my frontpage and nothing works anymore. oO

[JulianWolf]

Hi Jermaine,

sorry for asking that question: Did you follow the instructions?

vBa doesn´t accept php files as modules. If you "Upload a module" you can upload ".module" and ".xml"-Files.

In the instructions it says "Upload module", and not "create a module". If you create a module, it needs a php-file. But when you upload the xml as a module, the xml will create the php itself.

[JermaineBelgard]

Oh ok, now it works. I've tried to add this as a module, not to upload it. Thanks.

Demo?

Demo?

Oh, sure.

Here are some better instructions:

AdminCP-> vBa CMPS -> Download / Upload Module -> Browse to useronline.xml -> select the style you want it applied to -> Save

Hi, I think this is a great mod, however, I am having a little problem with the width of the box and with it's contents. It shows the pics just fine but other stuff not so fine. Need to know where to look or edit to get other images to show.

Thanks
Henry

I would love it if there is a way to limit the amount of members that it shows online, perhaps for it to show 10 random logged in members?
