Miscellaneous Hacks - Spider Display

Spider Display
Version 1.0.4
(By Boofo)

What does this product do?
This Hack displays the Number of Spiders on Forumhome and Who is Online.

If you are using a previous version of this mod, make sure to replace the default vBulletin template lines back into the templates and they are now automatically edited.

Version Information:
Version 1.0.1 --Initial release for vBulletin 3.7
Version 1.0.2 --Fixed MySQL error.
Version 1.0.3 --Fixed the leading comma issue when there were no members online.
Version 1.0.4 --Template edits now done automatically. No more manual template edits.

Credits:
A big thank you goes out to Andreas for coming up with the original code for this for 3.5.4. It now works in 3.7.

Installation overview:
Products to install: (1)
File Edits: (See the NOTE below)

Installation Instructions:
1. Upload spiders_vbulletin.xml to the includes/xml directory on your site.

2. Go to your Admin CP
Scroll down to 'Plugin System'
Click 'Manage Products'
Click 'Add/Import Product'
Click the 'Browse' button, and locate the product-spiderdisplay.xml file on your computer

Done!
Enjoy!

NOTE: There is one file edit that I have not found a way to get around yet. It is a special template cache that must be used with this. The easiest way to do it is add the file edit to the includes/config.php. Since this file does not change as often, you should be fine on most upgrades. This is the ONLY file edit.

NOTE: If you do not click install, you do not need support.

Hopefully, someday, it will be.

You're very welcome.

Updated. Thank you sir I wish you will figure out & release the update of Thread Started by User with autometic template edit soon

[Boofo]

That will never happen as I do my template addon in a totally different way than the standard way for the Thread Strarted By User as my template is different.

I still would like to see a fix with the caching issue of Thread Started By User In Postbit without having to re-import the XML but that's for a different discussion in the other thread.

Anyway, thanks Boofo for the update and the elimination of the (ghost) comma on invisible users. Love, peace and hair grease...

What are you talking about caching? PM me what you are asking, please.

installed but don't see nothing in what's going on ?

Look next the Currently Active Users. You should see something like:

Currently Active Users: 37 (28 members, 3 guests and 6 spiders)

So if I have ver. 1.0.3 and to update to 1.0.4 I have to uninstall the modifications that I did in my templates for this mod ? or only I have to upload the new product ?

Thanx Boofo.

Yes.

You'll need to edit both FORUMHOME and WHOSONLINE templates, overwrite the spider XML (don't need to but more spiders were added) in the includes/xml directory then upload the product XML, overwriting the old.
