alternate sidebar: members online now

[discoian]

ok but the current (default) users online block shows me online already as well as in the staff online box. Can this code be altered so that I appear in there too? If not then that's fine...!

i will be redoing this for xf 1.0.0. i will include a note on how to make it function like that as well.

 

[DieselMinded]

will wait for update

Great little edit thanks dieketzer ... would it be possible to not show people you follow in the members online, seems redundant to me to have them in both places.

 

[dieketzer]

it only shows people you follow once, in the 'ppl you follow' bit. it doesnt (or shouldnt) show them again.

Is there a way to remove the query string from the image path. For example, one image path for a users avatar is the following:

http://www.site.com/forum/data/avatars/s/27/27485.jpg?1300207054

While just the default avatar paths are:
http://www.site.com/forum/styles/default/xenforo/avatars/avatar_s.png

The timestamp is appended to the URL to identify when an avatar changes.

Is this an important function within XenForo? Just going through speeding up the site and noticed this:
http://code.google.com/speed/page-speed/docs/caching.html#LeverageProxyCaching

Most proxies, most notably Squid up through version 3.0, do not cache resources with a "?" in their URL even if a Cache-control: public header is present in the response. To enable proxy caching for these resources, remove query strings from references to static resources, and instead encode the parameters into the file names themselves.

There is a lot of things browsers don't like about this mod including the html resizing of images. I know this isn't too much of a load problem but it exists.

Thanks for the reply Brogan. My members can't live without this now that it is up so there isn't much I can do.

ive updated this for xf 1.01
two things have changed:
-fixed an issue that caused some staff members to appear twice
-invisible users now display to admins/mods as a semi-transparent avatar

the changes are reflected in the first and second posts.

if you want admins and moderators to be shown in both the staff online section as well as the members online section:
change this line:

<xen:if is="!{$user.followed} && !{$user.is_moderator} && !{$user.is_admin}">

like so:

<xen:if is="!{$user.followed}">

in sidebar_online_users and also wf_widget_online_users (if you use the widget framework addon)

How can I change the avatar size? I tried M or L as size class, but it did not work ;(

​

in this example i increased the size to 48px, then changed the right margin to correct the display a bit to allow 4 avatars to squeeze into the div.

Wow, thanks!

How can I merge the "people you follow" into the members online part?

 

[Brendon Meynell]

Thanks for this it is a great little addon/edit.

i will redo this when 1.1 ships, and will post a version that does just that

I can not see myself as online. It says 9 members online, me included, but it only shows 8 members, me excluded. Any way to let me (as staff) appear too? When using the default sidebar, my name does appear together with the other names.

Thanks, that worked like a charm.
