vBulletin Forum Sideblocks - Block - Users Online

This is a block for your forum sideblocks to show the Current Users Online.



You will need to Create a new Template (block_users_online), Cache the template, Create a new Block (Users Online), and then, optionally, remove the Currently Active Users list from the bottom of the page.

1.1 2010-06-12: Added in Most users ever online. Updated for 4.0.3.
1.2 2010-06-23: Updated to work for 4.0.4.
1.3 2011-11-17: Fixed template and block code for use in 4.1.8.
1.4 2012-06-05: Fixed template for use in 4.2.0.

Installation instructions for 4.2.0, 4.1.8 and pre-4.1.8 are included in the 1.4 download. Please make sure you use the correct Installation Instructions as both the block code and the template code are different depending on the version you are running. Read them carefully!!!

Are you talking about issues on forum.php or with the modification Everywhere Sidebar? This shows just fine on my test site. I don't have a live site running 4.0, so I can't comment on it then. I can't fix an issue that isn't happening for me.

Thx for your reply, Lynne. It?s about the forum.php and I don?t have the mod Everywhere Sidebar installed. May be you wanna have a look into it on my site ?

Sure, post a link to your site so I can see this happening. Also, look in your error_logs and see if anything is in there. And, try disabling your other modifications to see if this is a problem between two modifications.

(I just spent a few minutes clicking on my test site between two users and could never get that block to disappear.)

i have the same "lottery" problem with 4.0.6...when I first enter on forumhome, it all displays ok..if I refresh the page, no more user numbers, only the plain text....and ya, I have the everywhere sidebar installed

edit: and i found a temporary fix...if you put cache time to 0 in forum blocks manager, for this block...everything works ok

can you post what code you're using? When I do this it works on other pages but not the forumhome.
