Statistics Modifications - Display Online Users Count Everywhere (vB 4)

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

Example:

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:

<!-- Display Online Users Count -->
<b>{vb:raw msxtotal}</b> users online ({vb:rawphrase x_members_and_y_guests, {vb:raw msxmembers}, {vb:raw msxguests}})
<!-- / Display Online Users Count -->

*If you want to add the HTML code to a different template than navbar template:
Edit Get Online Users Count plugin and change 'navbar' with the template name.

I guess this could be very useful in some cases

Yes, it was really annoying to manually disable forumhome,showthread,forumdisplay online users stats each time at the peak times for me

Neat mod, I can't get it to work in the header after changing navbar to header in the plugin and putting the code in the header though. Works fine in the navbar but I would prefer to have it in the header.

vB_Template::preRegister('header',array('msxtotal' => $msxtotal, 'msxmembers' => $msxmembers, 'msxguests' => $msxguests));

I don't have vB4 installed, but i've just tested on my friends site and the code above is working.

That's what I have too but it won't work in the header. I have a feeling the hook location needs to be changed for the header, just not sure which one.

Weird. The site i tested is using vb 4.0.2 PL4 with vBSEO and no other mods installed. Any caching system etc enabled? Sorry for not being able to suggest solutions as i don't have vb4 How you tried any other templates?

Maybe another user installs this mod and tells us if it works for him in the header...

That's cool, I did try it in the navbar and can confirm it works fine there.

One last try... Add this code to the header template just before the last </div> to test...

<!-- Display Online Users Count -->
<b>{vb:var msxtotal}</b> users online ({vb:rawphrase x_members_and_y_guests, {vb:var msxmembers}, {vb:var msxguests}})
<!-- / Display Online Users Count -->

Still no luck.
