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)
1.1 2010-05-30: Added in Most users ever online.

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!!!

Worked fine before I did the upgrade, tried a reinstall of the widget last night and no joy. In both cases I followed the instructions provided.

Not being funny, but getting a bit peeved with all the suggestions that things breaking due to 4.0.8 is somehow user related, when its just code that should never have been released in the first place. But i digress. If there is a fix that I've simply missed please feel free to point me in the right direction.

If you did an upgrade and you had this template in the MASTER STYLE, then it's going to be gone because the upgrade will replace your MASTER STYLE. Did you check to make sure the template was still there for your style?

Ya i think as a widget it will let us use the space that was previously used by this data..........

Installed and set up but don't seem to work in 4.0.6

On the site we're running several themes. Seems this works great if I reset Home page to Default. Does that mean I need to add this to all the themes?


UPDATE
I had to enter the first part into each theme I wanted it to work in. Up and working now.

Just remove the condition and see if that fixes the issue. Otherwise, I don't know what to tell you because I have never been able to replicate this issue on any of my default vbulletin boards so there isn't anything I can do if I can't replicate it.

Thanks, that fixed my issue of it disappearing since I updated to your latest version. :up:

Any idea when it will be ready for 4.1?

I don't have vBulletin CMS in my admin cp. I'm using vbulletin 4.1 classic.

Yep, sorry I don't know where my head was at ..
Now getting back to the other question, I don't have vBulletin CMS, is this option available only for those with vbulletin publisher suite? If so, how could i use this in my vbulletin classic forum?
