i want to put the online user list (and online staff list) in a custom navigation drop down menu i've built. i can not, for the life of me, figure out how to do this.
it seems like the online user lists only want to work in the sidebar. well i don't WANT the sidebar on my site. so what is the method for getting these lists to work outside the side bar. i can handle all the styling myself i just need to know the xenforo code to get them to display.
i've tried this:
but all i get is an empty div. i tried the same with the online-users section and it does show the headers and text but it doesn't list any users. it says 0 online when i know that's not true (and verified it by going to the page that lists online users).
i'm guessing i'm missing some kind of connection to the db or some such but i don't know.

<xen:if is="{$user.is_moderator} OR {$user.is_admin}">
<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>

</div>
