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).

Where and what do i have to add to get it to show??

You need to add the template to your style.

Works but then disappears. It can reappear in a few minutes after a refresh, but then it's gone again. Running 4.1.2 in the default style. I'd really like to get this to work. Suggestions?

Thanks, Lynnne!

Try lowering your widget cache setting to 0.

I tried that. I changed it to 0 and to 1 and it still disappears after a page refresh

try disabling all your other plugins (Plugin Manager page) and products (Manage Products page) except the product vBulletin CMS. I cannot reproduce this problem on my default 4.1.2 test board.

Did you clear your cms cache after your changed the setting?

[boodog]

I have done all of the above suggestions. Cleared cache, changed cache setting, disabled plugins, re-enabled plugins, cleared cache between each recommended change. The bad news is that is still disappears with a refresh of the page. The good news is that it reappears if the next refresh is after 30-seconds. I'm grateful for your widget, Lynne, and I can live with the 30+ seconds refresh

I wish I knew what the issue was. I cannot reproduce it at all on my test site. Is it just this particular widget or any added php widget?

[boodog]

Only this one, and it's the only php widget on my site.

Lynne when I installed this after upgrading to 4.1.2 it is just a clear box. I tried to refresh and clear cache to no avail. I used the code posted and not the download one if that helps as the download one is all run together so it is hard on my eyes to decipher when to separate.
