Is there a plugin out there, that shows on the index page, how many people are viewing each particular forum? Vbulletin has such a mod.....I would like to include this in my new MyBB project. Below is a sample.....an area from the index page of a Vbulletin forum that has this....I highlighted the area in red.
Is this already available or can this be requested???
It's a core feature in MyBB.
ACP > Configuration > Forum Home Options > Show x viewing forum
Hmm.... I went back and checked my forum.....that option is checked....it doesn't show up. I will enable that option on my new MyBB forum and see if it works there.
Question.... does it only show registered members or does it show total that is viewing?
My old forum....
www.dedoutdoors.com isn't showing this. I wonder why? Could another plugin be affecting this?
^ check if
{$forum_viewers_text} exists in
forumbit_depth2_forum template
<td class="{$bgcolor}" valign="top">
<strong><a href="{$forum_url}">{$forum['name']}</a></strong>{$forum_viewers_text}<div class="smalltext">{$forum['description']}{$modlist}{$subforums}</div>
</td>
This is what is in that template....
<tr>
<td class="{$bgcolor}" align="center" valign="top" width="1"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/{$lightbulb['folder']}.gif" alt="{$lightbulb['altonoff']}" title="{$lightbulb['altonoff']}" class="ajax_mark_read" id="mark_read_{$forum['fid']}" /></td>
<td class="{$bgcolor}" valign="top">
<strong><a href="{$forum_url}">{$forum['name']}</a></strong>{$forum_viewers_text}<div class="smalltext">{$forum['description']}{$modlist}{$subforums}</div>
</td>
<td class="{$bgcolor}" valign="top" align="center" style="white-space: nowrap">{$threads}{$unapproved['unapproved_threads']}</td>
<td class="{$bgcolor}" valign="top" align="center" style="white-space: nowrap">{$posts}{$unapproved['unapproved_posts']}</td>
<td class="{$bgcolor}" valign="top" align="right" style="white-space: nowrap">{$lastpost}</td>
