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!!!

You would just add an extra <br /> where you want an extra line.

                <br /><span class="shade">{vb:rawphrase x_members_and_y_guests, {vb:raw content.numberregistered}, {vb:raw content.numberguest}}</span><br /></p>
                <p>{vb:rawphrase most_users_ever_online_was_x_y_at_z, {vb:raw content.recordusers}, {vb:raw content.recorddate}, {vb:raw content.recordtime}}<br /></p>

Hm. I tried that, and it didn't work.

Then add two of them instead of one.

Like so?

<br /><span class="shade">{vb:rawphrase x_members_and_y_guests, {vb:raw content.numberregistered}, {vb:raw content.numberguest}}</span><br /></p>
<br /><p>{vb:rawphrase most_users_ever_online_was_x_y_at_z, {vb:raw content.recordusers}, {vb:raw content.recorddate}, {vb:raw content.recordtime}}<br /></p>

[Lynne]

I would put it with the others I had added:

                <br /><span class="shade">{vb:rawphrase x_members_and_y_guests, {vb:raw content.numberregistered}, {vb:raw content.numberguest}}</span><br /><br /></p>
                <p>{vb:rawphrase most_users_ever_online_was_x_y_at_z, {vb:raw content.recordusers}, {vb:raw content.recorddate}, {vb:raw content.recordtime}}<br /><br /></p>

                <p>{vb:rawphrase most_users_ever_online_was_x_y_at_z, {vb:raw content.recordusers}, {vb:raw content.recorddate}, {vb:raw content.recordtime}}<br /><br /></p>

Not sure if I did exactly that, but I ended up doing this:

<br /><span class="shade">{vb:rawphrase x_members_and_y_guests, {vb:raw content.numberregistered}, {vb:raw content.numberguest}}</span></p>
                <p><br />{vb:rawphrase most_users_ever_online_was_x_y_at_z, {vb:raw content.recordusers}, {vb:raw content.recorddate}, {vb:raw content.recordtime}}</p>
                <br /><ol class="commalist">
                    <vb:each from="content.activeusers" value="loggedin">

As for the most users, I just edited the phrase most_users_ever_online_was_x_y_at_z and made it this:

Most users ever online was {1}. <br />{2} at <span class="time">{3}</span>.

Thanks for posting that Lee Roberts.

Hi Lynn, I have attempted this twice. I correctly followed all the steps to the best of my knowledge and the block shows up on my page. It was minus the actual numbers of online users ect. However my bigger issue is that as soon as I enable the plugin I get this errror code at the top of my header. BTW I am running 4.2.2

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'is' (T_STRING) in /home/cafeflir/public_html/includes/class_bootstrap.php(1419) : eval()'d code on line 145

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at ..../includes/class_bootstrap.php(1419) : eval()'d code:145) in ..../includes

That is an error with the caching of the template. But, there is no "is" in the block_users_online template. Could you have accidentally added a line break in the middle of a word? Did you remember to enter that template under "Template to Use" in the Block configuration page?
