Forum Home Enhancements - Split Useronline on Forumhome

Description
Splits the User Online section on the Forum Home to allow for staff/team members and users to be separated into groups. This is a new version of Surviver's original modification which was made for vBulletin 3.6.4. This new product was made with Survivor's permission and is heavily based upon the original modification.

The original modification can be found here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=135771

Features

• Currently allows for three different types of extra users (Team, Premium and VIP) on top of the usual members.
• This is now controlled through the usergroup manager whereby you can select Yes or No for each of the three types of users.
• Fixes the saving issue experienced by users of the previous modification running vBulletin 3.7.

Installation

1. Upload all necessary files to their respective directories.
2. Install the product XML file.
3. Turn on the Split Useronline tool (vBulletin Options -> Forum Home Page Options -> Split Useronline - Yes.
4. Implement small template edit (see below).
5. Set relevant permissions for each usergroup.

Upgrade
Unfortunately anyone wishing to upgrade from the previous modification to this will be unable to. I was advised to create this as a seperate product to avoid any potential conflicts in the future, and also due to the differences in how the settings are done there would have been no way to keep the saved settings anyway.

However anyone who has already experienced the saving issue with the existing Product will have already lost their settings.

Template Edit

1. Open the forumhome_loggedinuser template.
   
2. Find:
   

   <if condition="$show['comma_leader']">, </if>

3. Replace with:
   

   <if condition="$show['comma_leader']"> </if>

Author Notes
The change of location for the settings was done for two reasons: it was easier to sort out and I wanted the settings to be more logically placed. This allows for anyone with several 'team' usergroups to create new usergroups based on the permissions of an existing one therefore keeping the relevant permissions. Meaning it should make things easier in the long term.

Credit for the original modification obviously goes to Surviver as mentioned at the top. Also the credit for the above template edit goes to GamerGirl27 though I will be trying to find a solution that removes the need for any template edits.

I've put the changes from your code in red so you can see what I've changed (just adding an OR into the first sample and changing the bitfield values so they are correct. Values need to go up in powers of 2: 1,2,4,8,16,32 etc. That's how binary works as you can represent numbers 0-63 with just 6 bits. This attachment may help:

Also I'm not sure what the -'s are in front of the lines though unless they were added by your editor? If so remember to just make the alterations I've highlighted into your own code rather than copying and pasting it.

@anantthakor: "UFN DeV Team" certainly wasn't in my plugin, it sounds like the phrases are possibly conflicting with another plugin that is attempting to use a phrase of the same name? In any case try searching the phrases (found in the admincp menu) for that and if you don't mind changing where else that phrase is used then feel free to change it. Just surprised about it really. I used the same phrases as the original mod to try and avoid this exact problem lol.

@Nemesis: Nice to see a friendly face around here lol. The main reason I did this modification was because I wanted it myself on 3.7 and saw no reason why I shouldn't release it for everyone else too. And the ladder system isn't a vB mod :P.

Sorry guys about not doing an update as I had originally planned, gt quite a few projects going on (mainly on doing a new site design) so I haven;t had as much spare time as I had expected. The main two updates I want to do would be firstly to fix the bug on not checking additional usergroups and at some point as I said on the first page I would like to give the admins the choice of how many groups to have and what they are called though at the moment that's a bit above my level. So let me get the bug fixxed first and then I can start looking into the expansion .

[lucky_1]

Ya bro that - es my mistake =)). I just reedited the code and copied from the xml file not from editor. Thx for a late update but i'll check this. Also i've asked u to make a custom mod like this in which custom groups can be added and there names too. Im waiting for the next update.
