No Members Online

[jgruberman]

On my forum http://www.dfwsportbikes.org when the shoutbox is being displayed at the top of the page on the vbadvanced home, it shows "No Members Online" when a member is online.

You may view my page as a guest and see it working, then log in with the following credentials:
user: vbatest
pass: vbtest1

Once you log in with that information, you will be able to see that the Members Online module no longer works.

I opened a support ticket with vBadvanced and they said that it had to do with the "Global Initialisation" plugin of the VBshout module.

Any suggestions?

It's a conflict between vBA and vBShout, and I have no idea why it happens or how to solve it.
All I could do to hack it was to open /modules/onlineusers.php and find:

                $templater = vB_Template::create('forumhome_loggedinuser');
                $templater->register('loggedin', $loggedin);
                $activeusers .= $templater->render();

replace with

                $activeusers .= '<li> <a class="username" href="' . fetch_seo_url('member', $loggedin) . '">' . $loggedin['musername'] . '</a>' . $loggedin['invisiblemark'] . '' . $loggedin['buddymark'] . '</li>';
                
/*
                $templater = vB_Template::create('forumhome_loggedinuser');
                $templater->register('loggedin', $loggedin);
                $activeusers .= $templater->render();
*/

Also, the credentials you provided are invalid.

Without being home or on a pc at the moment, what will that code replacement do? And will this be fixed in a later bug fix release? I really love this mod but don't want to sacrifice the functionality of the main page when there are many more shoutbox options than there are front page modules. Any hope for the future?

My mistake.
vbauser///vbtest1

That code replacement will restore the functionality you're reporting as missing.

Considering this isn't a bug in vBShout, but rather a bug in how vBAdvanced works, the onus isn't on us to fix this.
