Statistics Modifications - Display Online Users Count Everywhere (vB 4)

Description: This mod will add online users count info to any vBulletin page.

Example:

23 Users Online (6 members and 17 guests)

Two small queries are executed, same with the Admin CP online users stat.

Details: You don't have to enable "Display Logged in Users?" options (forumhome,showthread,forumdisplay) which requires serious resources to run this mod. I haven't noticed any performance problems with more than 10k online users.

Screenshots:



Installation:
1-) Import product-msx_online_count_vb3.xml
2-) Edit navbar template (or *any template you prefer) and add:

<!-- Display Online Users Count -->
<b>{vb:raw msxtotal}</b> users online ({vb:rawphrase x_members_and_y_guests, {vb:raw msxmembers}, {vb:raw msxguests}})
<!-- / Display Online Users Count -->

*If you want to add the HTML code to a different template than navbar template:
Edit Get Online Users Count plugin and change 'navbar' with the template name.

vBulletin 3.8.x version is here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=239361

A version with threads and posts would be great.

Also ich bastel jetzt schon mehrere Tage an dem Teil und bekomme es NICHT nach ganz oben geschoben. Vielleicht hat ja einer eine Info für mich wie das geht.
Ausserdem bekomme ich auf der Startseite NIE die Useranzahl angezeigt und manchmal auch falsche Werte (so werde ich z.B. manchmal gar nicht angezeigt).
Irgendwie ist das Teil nicht wirklich ausgereift - die Idee finde ich aber schon mal gut.

Liebe Grüsse:

Ps. Hoffe hier können auch einige Deutsch lesen - Englisch kann ich nämlich kein Wort. Also Sorry.

I did all the modification needed, and I changed the Hook to be global_start since I put it in the header, but It does not get the counters. You can see an example on www.thesims3.it on the top header.
Any idea?

[Attila85]

Yes I did but still no results.
Here is the code I added in the header template:

<!-- Display Online Users Count -->
<b>{vb:raw msxtotal}</b> utenti online ({vb:rawphrase x_members_and_y_guests, {vb:raw msxmembers}, {vb:raw msxguests}})
<!-- / Display Online Users Count -->

Here the code of the plugin:

// get online users 
$datecut = TIMENOW - $vbulletin->options['cookietimeout']; 
$guestsarry = $db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(host) AS sessions FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "session WHERE userid = 0 AND lastactivity > $datecut");
$membersarry = $db->query_read("SELECT DISTINCT userid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "session WHERE userid <> 0 AND lastactivity > $datecut"); 
$msxguests = intval($guestsarry['sessions']); 
$msxmembers = intval($db->num_rows($membersarry)); 
$msxtotal = $msxmembers + $msxguests; 
vB_Template::preRegister('header',array('msxtotal' => $msxtotal, 'msxmembers' => $msxmembers, 'msxguests' => $msxguests)); 
// get online users

Position: Global_start
Execution order: 5
Plugin is active.

But still no results, as you can see... any hint?

[Attila85]

Well.. it seems working now... but I did not edit anything... wtf? :P

[kh99]

Great. That happens to me sometimes - either I was looking at the wrong style, or I forgot to enable the plugin, or something.

[Attila85]

I donnow why now it works everywhere but in the home page (Http://www.thesims3.it) .. any idea?

[Attila85]

Up, anybody has an idea? It's so strange that it works everywhere but the home...

[Brandon Sheley]

I'll keep it in mind for clients

Thanks for sharing!
