A request (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?p=1039329) that I happened to need ASAP so I did my first hack (be gentle!)

Inspired on vBExternal (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=83005&page=24) and live stats on header (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=95493)

1. Add the plugin to set the value of $onlineusers
2. Edit header template to add $onlineusers

If you want to put it under the logo, the same place the live stats on header (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=95493) puts it, do this:

In the header template:

Find: (ususally at the end of the template file)

$spacer_open

$_phpinclude_output

Add Above:

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>
<div align="left"><span class="smallfont"><a href="online.php$session[sessionurl_q]"><b>Online: </b> $usersonline</a>
</span></div>
</td>
<td align="left" width="20%"> </td>
</tr>
</table>


Check it out (I put mine by the site logo)

Note: If your forum is very active (lucky you), your current online string gets too big. The plugin stops the gathering of user names when the string reaches 80 charaters. If you want more than that, just edit the plugin and at the bottom find
while($User = $db->fetch_array($UsersOnline) and strlen($Data)<80){

and change the 80 to your preferred size

In place of

The numbers do not show up for me. Am I missing something?
Are you in 3.6 ?

OK, this works on my 3.5.4 (http://forums.ffproject.net/)

Go to the Plugin Editor, find the online_users plugin (under parse_templates)

FIND
