Show Spiders Online on ForumHome

This is a port of my 3.0.x modification. It shows, on your forumhome page, any spiders that are present (ones that show as a spider on your who's online page)

NOTE: If you are using a portal that shows who's online, this mod will mess up your portal. As of this date, I do not know of any working portals for 3.5 and I do not have the code to fix portals.

Please understand what this mod does before you start crying that it doesn't work. This mod will show any spiders who show up as a spider on who's online as a spider on the forumhome page. It will NOT show a spider who shows up as a guest on who's online as a spider. It does not add additional spiders to the list either.

PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL THIS IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ADJUST YOUR OWN PORTAL TEMPLATES SO THAT THE PHRASE DOES NOT CONTAIN AN ERROR.

I'm still praying for an answer on how to fix the vBa cms

but either way, they mod workds good on 3.5 and I have " users last 24 hrs" installed, no problems.

I reinstalled it several times, but I always get 0 spiders, so maybe some other plugin interfering or something - I dunno

Hey guys have you added the phrase over there.Coz if you dont add phrase you will get 0 spiders.

In your phrase manager, edit the phrase x_members_and_y_guests to use the third parameter, which is spiders.
Example:
{1} members and {2} guests and {3} spiders

[utw-Mephisto]

Yes I did .. when I wouldn't have add the phrase I would rather say you get

Bla bla members and bla bla guests

only .. and not 0 spiders ..

But at the end it does not change, I have add the phrase but still not working

Currently Active Users: 1 (0 members and 1 guests and spiders)
notice the missing 0 :P
please fix that

Dont excpect support here from Amy, according to her there is no need as it is working. / quote end

Amy has given lots of support for this mod. The problem is, your problem isn't related to this mod. A spider that shows as a guest on who's online isn't magically going to show up as a spider using this hack. As I told you, you have to use the instructions posted on vbulletin.com on increasing your spider list.

The mod works fine. If a spider shows as a spider on who's online, it shows as a spider on forumhome. That's all it was ever meant to do.

I know - I just posted your quote because he seems to have a different problem .. I am not talking about mine here ...

[xtreme-mobile]

can any one supply the code edits to amke this work on vba cmps? i got this working great on my forum home but says the ARG3 crap on my portal

cheers

Which is why I warned people in the first post that it wouldn't work on portals. I wrote a fix for it in the 3.0 version, but really don't want to take the time to code, release and support it again for 3.5. I'm already overwhelmed with released code so as it is.
