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.

any update???????????????????????

[consolegaming]

I'm sorry for not providing any updates for this. I just thought I'd leave a note to say that I'll be releasing a 4.0 version of this mod shortly. Unfortunately I've just not had the time to work on it like I would liked to so it is simply the same as this version but works on 4.0. It'll be posted up in a week or two.

I will still be looking into updating it to have some of the features that people are requesting (customizable groups i.e. name them whatever you want and however many you want) but stuff like that isn't very simple and at the moment I just don't have the time to make those improvements. I started this mod mainly to get it working for 3.7 when the old version failed.

Any News about VB4 Version?

[kmoh]

do you have this for 3.8 version?

[MrD]

This version works under 3.8.x

[consolegaming]

Sorry about lack of updates. The VB 4 version was basically done shortly after my last post in this thread but unfortunately the test site I've been working on went down shortly after that lol. I'm told it should be back up again very soon (i.e. next few days) so once it is I'll get it ready for posting on here.

Apologies.

PS: Yeah this version works just fine for 3.8.
