You are welcome

I'm almost there now. just need these things:-

• a way to show flickr photos as a media site bbcode
• a fair bit of regex changing of posts
• a valium
• a prayer or two from our members

lol

There is an undocumented new feature:-
Clear sidebar can be applied to pages (pagenode_container) but will only clear the sidebar if another widget shows with it. Therefore if you have expressions set up for blocks in pagenode_container and no blocks apply to the page then a blank sidebar wont be added (unlike the previous version). Dunno if this is an accident or on purpose but I like it

Dunno if if it applies to other positions but thought it worth mentioning anyway.

Blank sidebar shows up in previous version? It's a bug I think...

It was happening in previous version if you set clear sidebar on page_node and had widgets with expressions. if no widgets were returned for the current page (coz no expressions evaluate to true) then the sidebar would show up with no content - which i guess is expected. Now i dont even need the expression on clear sidebar coz blank sidebars are not even being rendered now, cool

Oh, nice! I didn't know that

I have a problem

In my existing forum home page side bar, I have modified it by adding this code, above Staff Online, to show "Sponsors Online". All it does is duplicate staff online but looks for a different usergroup:

<!-- block: sidebar_online_sponsors -->
<xen:if hascontent="true">
    <div class="section staffOnline avatarList">
        <div class="secondaryContent">
            <h3>Sponsors Online Now</h3>
            <ul>
                <xen:contentcheck>
                    <xen:foreach loop="$onlineUsers.records" value="$user">
                        <xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $user, 6}">
                            <li>
                                <xen:avatar user="$user" size="s" img="true" />
                                <xen:username user="$user" rich="true" />
                                <div class="userTitle">{xen:helper userTitle, $user}</div>
                            </li>
                        </xen:if>
                    </xen:foreach>
                </xen:contentcheck>
            </ul>
        </div>
    </div>
</xen:if>
<!-- end block: sidebar_online_sponsors -->

I have installed your add-on because I would like to include the above (on its own) on the forum threads list too. So I cut and paste the code above into a new template called "sponsorsonline" and then added a new widget Template[without wrapper] and entered sponsorsonline in the template field. Then I set the position as forum_view. But it does not display, even if a sponsor is online.

I tried Template (the other one, with the wrapper) and "Sponsors Online" block does show, but is just a heading, with no content.

I must have missed something simple, any ideas please?

I am still having trouble removing the visitor panel and I am not sure what's causing the problem for me .. quite irritating!

This is what my setup looks like:

As you can see the Clear Sidebar widget is there in the list:

Clear Sidebar widget settings:

Yet the visitorpanel is still active:

I've tried a bunch of things to get it to work (disabling all other plugins) but I feel like I am missing something essential ..

Thank you for the help!

How do you prevent guests from seeing the 'users online' widget?

 

[Southfork1]

Anyone got an expression to exclude a widget from specific forum(s) or display only with a specific style?

edit: nevermind on the exclude a forum... $forum['node_id'] <> 71

 

[ragtek]

there's a small typo in phrase wf_position_can_not_be_empty Wdiget position can not be empty.

Hi,

You will have to edit the template "wf_widget_online_users"

I am still having trouble removing the visitor panel and I am not sure what's causing the problem for me .. quite irritating!

It looks okie. I also tested on a fresh installation and the visitor panel is hidden. So please send your site info via PC, I will come by and see.

How do you prevent guests from seeing the 'users online' widget?

Use the "$visitor['user_id'] > 0" as the expression

Nice catch! Thank you
Fixed in 1.2.2.2

Hi,

You will have to edit the template "wf_widget_online_users"

That's great, but only if I want to REPLACE the staff online with sponsors online. But I want to have both, like I do in the normal sidebar.

I even tried cutting and pasting the contents of wf_widget_online_staff into a new template wf_widget_online_stafftwo and then adding this to the sidebar on the forum view, as a Template(without wrapper) to see if I can get the normal staff to show, but coming from my own template - and that does not work either. Nothing is displayed.

So my original problem remains - how to add an additional online user block in the same style as staff online, but for a different usergroup?

Any help appreciated please

It doesn't work that way so you obviously can't create a new template and put it like that. The template requires data from the backend.

Anyway, you can still achieve what you want by doing these steps (a little complicated, sorry for that)

• Add 2 widgets of the same renderer (online staff). Name them as "Online Staff" and "Online Sponsor"
• Take note of the 2 widget ids, assuming 1 (online staff) and 2 (online sponsor)
• Prepare your code, call it "the-code"
• Edit the template "wf_widget_online_staff"
• Copy the original contents, call it "original-code"
• Actually do the edit to the template to make it look like below

• <xen:if is="{$widget.widget_id} == 1">original-code<xen:else />the-code</xen:if>

• Done

I hope this helps.
