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).

First thanks Lynne it fixed my issue like this one above..

I had the same issue and the template looked the same but when I deleted the template and redid it with the latest update from Lynne's code, it worked well and now it shows the names of online users.

I hope that helps

Of course, but you would need to add the code to create the avatars and then modify the template to display them.

I tried installing this on 4.1.9 and it's not showing up. I followed everything twice in the instructions, but one thing. I don't know how to cache a template. Where is this at? I have searched for an answer on both vb forums to no avail. I had hoped since reading this thread and seeing some posts it would work without doing that, since knowing how seems to allude me. But no go.

Any help is great appreciated!

Lynne, I love your mods! I just wish I could get this one to show up. Not your fault though, it's my limited knowledge.

I messed up at first and thought that putting the text you had in the config, was the last info, so I put it all in, from that point on, putting in all your instructions for pre 4.1.8 too, lol. So I know it's in the layout right, as I got an error for doing that. I went back and corrected that. I know kind of dumb on my part. But I can't read coding anyway, so I didn't figure reading yours would be necessary. Sometimes it's easier for me when the code is in the instructions on the first post and I just copy and paste.

At any rate, if not caching the template is the problem, can someone tell me how to do that?

Lynne,

Tested it on 4.1.9 and it shows on the Home page, but when I leave the Home page to go into the Forums then return back to the Home page it's gone!!!
Vanishes...
Any ideas?

Same problem

Seems to me it may be related to widget recreation time.
May it is related to new method of "CMS-Cache refresh"?
