Miscellaneous Hacks - User-Online-Photolist

Demo

You can see the Hack acitve on my site: www.nlp-deutschland.de/forum
It?s the Online-List at the right.
When logged in users also get a "PM-Link". ;-)

Dependencies

This Mod is an port from https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=130662. It is a mod for vBa and needs vBa installed to work. With the vBa-integration-method this mod can be displayd on every vBulletin-Page.

What does it do?

The mod shows a List with all logged in users on the right or on the left of the current page. The users are shown with avatar or profile-pic, sorted by activity, friends and buddys appear on the top.

Installation:

Install the module in vBa:
- admincp
- vBa --> add module
- choose the module-file (xml)
- the needet php-file will be created automatically. Two templates are inserted.
- Define in vBa where you want to have this module shown up

Then define your settings in admincp --> vBa --> edit Module --> Users Online:

- Size Thumbnails is the maximum-size of the pictures
- Truncate Usernameis the maximum number of letters that should shown in a username. If the username is longer it will be truncated.
- Display pictures is an option to just show the users Online without photos
- Display myself is the option that you can hide the actual user. Should the user, who is online, see himself in the list?
- Linkback --> you can turn off the automatic Backlink in the module, but I kindly ask you for a backlink in the footer or somewhere else, just as a thank you.
- Backlink Option: If you have a german website we can use the affiliate-system instead of the "normal" backlink. Sent me a PN when you?re interested.

Enjoy the mod!

All the best, Julian!


PS: I kindly ask you to remember the backlink to www.nlp-deutschland.de (Key: NLP). I really need it in the moment and I totally agree with a small backlink in the footer or something like that.

I think there is a little problem with this mod. If your buddy is invisible, he will not be displayed, despite the fact that you are an admin. The default buddy list module and the online user module do show that buddy.

How can I change the sort order? Is it possible to sort like this?

first all online-Buddies (no matter whether they have avatar)
then all online-users who are not buddies (no matter whether they have avatar)

You wrote the following in the older thread:

The list sorts like this:

first all online-Buddies with photo
then all online-Buddies without photo
then all online-users who are not buddies with photo
then the rest, no photo, not online.

The second list-criteria ist the "last-action". This is so that the list "moves" and everytime somebody else is on the top.

I don' t get the last part. Does this change only the top spot of the whole list? In my opinion the original sort order of your mod is only suited for very active boards. On small boards the list looks unsorted. I just checked your site. It does not look like the sort order you have written. All users have avatars, but there seem to be 4 different groups.

Can pls anybody update this one for Vbulletin 4.0 & CMPS 4.0 ?

As far as I see only some adjustments are necessary, for example fetch_template must be replaced. Unfortunly I`m not experienced enough to change it...

will pay 20 € to the first one :up:
