The Arcive of vBulletin Modifications Site.

Display Online Users Count Everywhere · **Released**: 03-28-2010

Description: This mod will add online users count info to any vBulletin page.

Example:

Quote:

23 Users Online (6 members and 17 guests)

Two small queries are executed, same with the Admin CP online users stat.

Details: You don't have to enable "Display Logged in Users?" options (forumhome,showthread,forumdisplay) which requires serious resources to run this mod. I haven't noticed any performance problems with more than 10k online users.

Screenshots:

Installation:
1-) Import product-msx_online_count_vb3.xml
2-) Edit navbar template (or any template you prefer) and add:

Code:

<!-- Display Online Users Count -->
<b>$msxtotal</b> $vbphrase[users_online] (<phrase 1="$msxmembers" 2="$msxguests">$vbphrase[x_members_and_y_guests]</phrase>)
<!-- / Display Online Users Count -->

vBulletin 4.0.x version is here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=239363

For vBadvanced (vBulletin 3):

Open Portal Output Global Variables and add the lines below to the list:

Code:

msxtotal
msxmembers
msxguests

Yes. But you have to integrate that page with vBulletin first. Adding these lines at the top of your custom 404 page will do the trick:

Code:

<?php
$forumpath = '/home/youraccountname/public_html/forum';
chdir($forumpath);
require_once('./global.php');
exec_shut_down();
?>

Edit the $forumpath with config.php's $config['Misc']['forumpath'] = setting.

Thank you! this has always been one of my favorite modifications of vbulletin...

I like to use it a little bit different, I like to only show the total number of users and for the total count to link the users online page

Quote:

77 Users Online

To use it like this use the following code:

HTML Code:

<!-- Display Online Users Count -->
<b><a href=/online.php>$msxtotal $vbphrase[users_online]</a></b>
<!-- / Display Online Users Count -->

Excellent mod, installed and voted 5, been trying to figure this out.

Question for vBadvanced. I added msxtotal, msxmembers, and msxguests to Portal Output Global Variables but it's still showing "Online Users: ( members, guests)" but it works fine everywhere else on the forum. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks for any help!

EDIT: Nevermind, fixed it. I was editing the Variables in the vBadvanced page itself, instead of Default Settings > Main Options.
