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)

1.4 2011-11-27: Quick fix in template to show link to online.php page. (4.1.8)

Installation instructions for 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 widget code and the template code are different depending on the version you are running. Read them carefully!!!

May it is related to new method of "CMS-Cache refresh"?

When deactivating caches for contents completely everything is ok, but there is told you should do this only for testing.
Because of this I'm interested in a solution for normal use.

I cannot duplicate the problem at all on my test site, so I can't really can't fix something I can't duplicate in the first place.

I have my cache time set to 5.

Do you guys have active sites where there is always someone online?

Lynne, where do you set that at? And yes, my forum always has someone online!

Set what? The cache time? It's on the Configure page.

Thanks Lynne, I didn't see that below the template name. (old age on the eyes, I am sorry) It's working perfectly in 4.1.9 now!

Sorry for my bad english. I'm using a german version so it is difficult to discribe the english version of vB.
Sorry, I do not mean the cache time in the widget configuration but in the vB configuration.
This is in "Server Settings and Optimization Options"
If cachhing ist disabled the widget shows always else it does not.

I tried with or without the plug-in from former versions, with and without TMS activated.

I see nothing on your home page except the ads.

It worked fine with 4.1.8, but with 4.1.9 I could only load the page some times.

When upgrading to 4.1.10. the Home page won't load at all. There is something in the Widget that has to be changed.

I'd suggest switching to a default style and seeing if you still have this issue. It works just fine on my default 4.1.10 site.
