Widget : Custom who is online module

First topic message reminder :

Hello !

This module is similar to the existing who is online module, but makes use of AJAX which allows you to refresh the list without reloading the whole page. The data retrieved is cached for 5 minutes, but there are no limits on how often you can refresh the module manually. As you can see in the example below, it has a much different layout than the standard module.

It was developed on phpbb3, but I made some efforts to optimize it for all forum versions.


Installation

To add this module to your list, go to Administration Panel > Modules > Forum widget management, and create a new widget.

Widget name : Who is online module
Use a table type : Yes
Title : Who is online ? ( you can change it if you want )
Paste the following code into the textarea and submit :

Code:

<style type="text/css">
#whois_module { color:#666; font-size:11px; }
#whois_online { border:1px solid #DDD; border-radius:3px; margin:3px 0; }
.whois_userow { color:#666; font-weight:normal; text-shadow:none; padding:2px; }
.whois_userow:nth-child(even) { background:#F5F5F5 }
.whois_userow:nth-child(odd) { background:#E5E5E5 }
.whois_label { font-size:10px; padding-left:10px; position:relative; }
.whois_label:before { content:"."; font-size:0px; background:#6A6; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 3px #6C6; display:inline-block; height:5px; width:5px; position:absolute; top:3px; left:0; }

Modifications

If you want to change the style of the widget, you can modify the colors and whatnot at the very top of the widget where the CSS is located. If you want to change the cache time find 4*59*1000 and increase or decrease the time. For reference it's MM*SS*MS

After that, all you need to do is drag and drop the widget to anywhere you want ! If you have any problems or questions, feel free to leave them below. Enjoy !

Hello @Ange Tuteur ,
I am really sorry, but there is still no change. If it takes you too long, I will drop this plugin.

Thank you.

It appears to be working on my end. ( see widgets > last module )

Try this :
Go to Admin Panel > Users and Groups > Special Rights > Users status display : Guests > Save

Once this setting is updated, clear your cache and reload the page. If the widget is not working after this, let me know.

Hello @Ange Tuteur ,
I have changed, but nothing changes, here is my capture.



My cache is gone and I have no change.
If that bores you I can leave this tip my friend.

It's no problem, I think I found the issue though. There's an element that matches "wrap" on your forum, and the module is mistaking the forum version as phpbb3. Try replacing the widget code with this one :

Code:

<style type="text/css">
#whois_module { color:#666; font-size:11px; }
#whois_online { border:1px solid #DDD; border-radius:3px; margin:3px 0; }
.whois_userow { color:#666; font-weight:normal; text-shadow:none; padding:2px; }
.whois_userow:nth-child(even) { background:#F5F5F5 }
.whois_userow:nth-child(odd) { background:#E5E5E5 }
.whois_label { font-size:10px; padding-left:10px; position:relative; }
.whois_label:before { content:"."; font-size:0px; background:#6A6; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 3px #6C6; display:inline-block; height:5px; width:5px; position:absolute; top:3px; left:0; }
.whois_row:nth-child(1) .whois_label:before { background:#C9C; box-shadow:0 0 1px #C9C; }
.whois_row:nth-child(2) .whois_label:before { background:#999; box-shadow:0 0 1px #999; }
.whois_row:nth-child(3) .whois_label:before { background:#69C; box-shadow:0 0 1px #69C; }
#whois_online { height:100px; overflow:auto; }
.whois_row, a.whois_link, .whois_error { color:#999 !important; font-weight:bold; text-shadow:1px 1px 0 #FFF; background:#EEE; border:1px solid #CCC; border-radius:3px; margin:3px 0; padding:4px 6px; }
a.whois_link { font-size:11px; text-align:center; text-decoration:none; display:block; }
a.whois_link:hover { color:#666 !important; border-color:#666; }
.whois_error { color:#C66 !important; text-shadow:1px 1px 0 #FDD; background:#FCC; border-color:#F99; }

Might need to clear your cache too.

@Ange Tuteur ,
You are really a super coder my friend, your script is functional,
Thank you very much for your patience and your kindness.
