View Full Version : Members who have visited today (with last 24 hours option).

This modification is no longer available or supported.

A very simple display of all members who have visited the forum 'today' (i.e. since midnight). I looked at the existing hacks that apparently do this, and they either seemed over complicated or had a lot of problems, so I wrote my own simple version.

The main features of Version 2.xx are ;

1. It displays the list on Forum Home under the "Users online" display.

2. The list view is collapsable, so you just see the number.

3. Invisible users are only displayed to those allowed to see them (with a "*")

4. Users who should display as coloured or bold etc should be displayed correctly. (based on the display usergroup)

5. If you 'hover' over a username it will show the time they were last active.

6. The list is in member name order.

If you prefer, then there is an option to make this hack display a rolling 24 hours - un-comment the relevant line in the code.

Addons:
ericgtr has created a CMPS module for this hack, you will find the files here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=652148).
paul41598 has created a pop-up display instead of the collapsable display, you will find the files here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=724321).

I've just install this hack...

I have run the SQL query...

But on my forum home... it show that all my members have come online today (1898 on 1898)

What's wrong???

Paul M

Oopsy?Indeedy. :disappointed:

Almost certainly a table prefix problem as we don't use them, I'll confirm this for you tonight, when I have access to my dev system, and update the query.

I have no idea, what times does it show for each member when you hover over them ?It show only the time

Ex: 11h31 (a different time for everyone)

Paul M

11-10-2004, 02:26 PM

Paul M

11-10-2004, 02:29 PM

It show only the time

Ex: 11h31 (a different time for everyone)I take it you are sure they haven't all visited ?

If so, pick a few you are sure haven't, then look at the time when you hover over them, and then check their profiles to see what the Last Active date & time is.

I'll check back later.

yes... it's impossible that all my members (100% of 1899) have come today at 11:31!! :nervous:

I will look at this.

RaZor Edge

11-10-2004, 02:37 PM

Ok, the time is right... but not the date!!!

Ex:

user 1: 16:32 (Home index time)
Last activity: 11/06/2003 16h32 (in profil)

user 2: 22:00 (Home index time)
Last activity: 26/03/2003 22h00 (in profil)

I've try to re-install a clean version of functions_misc.php but the problem is still there.

I've try to change the date format to the american style, don't work neither...

(I use the latest version of vbulletin)

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

Invalid SQL: SELECT userid, lastactivity, options, username,opentag,closetag
FROM vb3_user
LEFT JOIN vb3_usergroup ON(user.usergroupid = usergroup.usergroupid)
WHERE lastactivity > 1100037600
mysql error: Unknown table 'user' in on clause

mysql error number: 1109Oopsy?
Floris,

I believe that replacing the four lines of the SQL query with this should work.

$todaysusers = $DB_site->query("SELECT userid, lastactivity, options, username,opentag,closetag
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user as user
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup as usergroup ON(user.usergroupid = usergroup.usergroupid)
WHERE lastactivity > " .$cutoff. " ");

Please let me know and I will update the instructions.

Can you try replacing the day/month/year lines of the code with these;

$nowday = vbdate('d', $now. false, false);
$nowmonth = vbdate('m', $now. false, false);
$nowyear = vbdate('Y', $now. false, false);

If that fails then temporarily add the following line above the SQL query ;

echo "Cutoff = ".$cutoff;

this will cause the forumhome to display a line at the top saying something like

Cutoff = 1100044800

post the result back here we can see what cutoff date it has calculated.

I've made the change you ask, here,s the results:

Cutoff = -3601

I've got the same result if i don't apply the change

also, what OS are you running your forum on ?

Is it possible to show todays visits only to admin?Yes, just enclose the relevant template section with an "if" conditional.

thankls that worked out for me much appreciated bro. anyway to get it alphabetised.?Yes, if you replace the WHERE line of the SQL with this ;

WHERE lastactivity > " .$cutoff. " ORDER BY username" );

It will now show them alphabetically. I have made this the default in v1.03

RaZor Edge

11-12-2004, 06:17 PM

Well that makes no sense at all, clearly the wrong value, but it's calculated using standard vB functions.

Remove the ECHO line and replace it with this ;

echo "Today = ".$nowday."/".$nowmonth."/".$nowyear." : Now = ".$now;

and post the result back.

also, what OS are you running your forum on ?

here's the result:

Today = d/m/Y : Now = 1100290578

My host is on UNIX... I think....

Thank you for taking time to help me with this... :nervous:

Paul M

11-12-2004, 08:24 PM

here's the result:

Today = d/m/Y : Now = 1100290578
Then the calls to vbdate are failing.

I have no idea why - but I notice you are using vB 3.0.1 - so maybe it's something to do with that.

There are two choices ;

1. Try and find out why the vbdate calls are failing.

or

2. Do this quick hack ;

Replace the $cutoff line with this;

$cutoff = $now - 86400;

This will show the visitors in the last 24 hours rather than since midnight.

Hi,

Is there anyway to see a record of nr of visitors (non registered) who visited a community... i get everyday lots of registered and non registered visitors... i can see now with 3.0.3 a snapshot of one day, the day i am viewing, but i have no idea how many came yesterday, or the day before or a week before.

is there anyway to hack this, to get something like this on the forums index page?

thanks

Action: Installed (thalforum.com)

Comments: Easy installation, easy to follow instructions, works as said.

Issues:
I'm running vB3.0.3 but i cud not get it to run using the following:-
$cutoff = vbmktime(0, 0, 0, vbdate('m', $now. false, false), vbdate('d', $now. false, false), vbdate('Y', $now. false, false));

INSTEAD i had to use the following:
$cutoff = $now - 86400 ; which shows users during last 24 hrs.

Suggestions:
1. If you can further modify this almost perfect mod to
- function with CMPS
- Admin's can modify to show "who was online in last XX hours"
- Instead of showing phrase "Total users that have visited today:" - it wud show who was online in last XX hrs (depending on the hack).

... specially - function with CMPS

Thanks paul.

I'm curious to know why the vbdate function fails on some installations.

When no one is in the chat room it appears like this:
"Currently -1 user(s) chatting.

How can i fix it?Chat Room ? Sorry but I see no connection between this and a chat room - vB has no chat built into it.

Nie hack,thank you!

One request "if at all possible" could you make it so the hidden users
are hidden in the online pane as well?

reason is, I use a custom user account for my vB news intergration hack
and I would like to hide that user name from the listing.

ex: *site news

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Sorry - but I'm not sure I follow - are you referring to the "Currently Active Users" display ? If so, this is a native part of vB and not related to this hack.

I can't see how I would do that without installing CMPS and testing it etc, which I'm not prepared to do, sorry.

I'm curious to know why the vbdate function fails on some installations.

Can someone here assist me in getting this hack further moded to work in CMPS!!
come'on guys help a brother out...will appreciate it

Hi. I installed it nicely; however, when different usergroups have different color names. It shows up on who's online, but only some of the colors show up on Who was online today. Any ideas?

12-16-2004, 03:14 AM

I have figured out that it goes by the primary usergroup and not the display group. Can this be edited some kind of way?

My what's going on box is located underneath the navbar. I would like to put this hack on the bottom where the what's going on box used to be orginally. Where in the forumhome template would I place the code?
In your template find ;

<br />
<br />
(just under the "" line)

replace those two line breaks with ;

<br />

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="thead" colspan="2">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_todayusers')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_todayusers" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_todayusers].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
Total users that have visited today: $totaltoday
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_todayusers" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_todayusers]">

Where's the one that updated all the time in that it didn't reset at 12:00 AM? So it was continuous?

I've installed this, but I thought there was a slight mod so you don't see it reset and blank out at 12:00AM.

Wow! This works just great and so easy to install. I thank you Paul.

I have a question though, When I run the SQL ALTER TABLE user ADD INDEX (lastactivity)

I get the following error:

An error occurred while attempting to execute your query. The following information was returned.
error number: 1146
error desc: Table 'john_mainDB.user' doesn't exist

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Again, thanx for a terrific hack!!!

Paul M

12-25-2004, 09:47 PM

LCPGUY, Where are you running the query ?

Sia Bani

12-25-2004, 09:48 PM

Okay, there is a line in the 1.03 version that you can just uncomment, but if you installed a while ago that line won't be there;

Find the line that starts "$cutoff = " in the hack - and replace it with ;

$cutoff = $now - 86400 ;

This will make it always display visitors from the last 24 hours. :)

I just installed this a couple days ago and I have the $now-86400 in the hack already. I hadn't changed anything, and it's already there. However, at midnight, it still resets. Do you want me to change that to just $cutoff?

I have a bit of an oddity occuring!

When I have for example, 50 users who have visited so far today, certain members are only seeing 20 (example) as having visited. Guests and most other members (as far as I'm aware) are seeing the correct number of 50.

Any ideas why certain members would see different numbers than everyone else? There are no 'invisible' (*) members or special usergroups involved.

Thanks.

Great hacks anyway thanks :-)

Great hacks anyway thanks :-)That piece of code will give a rolling count for the previous 24 hours and is commented out (unless you have removed the "//"). It is only there as a backup because the vbdate function was not working on some systems - allthough some people are using it by default because this is what they want to do.

Thanks for this explanation. I'm using Vb 3.04 and i was forced to remove the // before the code ; Otherwise all users were listed. So, if i well understand, now this hacks is "Who connected last 24 hours" :)

hi Paul great mod,

I have had it running perfect up to last night - I did the 3.0.5 upgrade and it doesn't show who's been on line today, just a blank box no entries

I'm new to v-bulletin - do you have any ideas what might need to be changed to get it working again

thanks in advanceHave you re-done the files changes after you upgraded ?

btw - you are not showing as having installed this - please click install.

01-08-2005, 10:14 PM

Sorry Paul - I must have forgot to click 'Install'

I checked the new 'index.php' file and it didn't seem to have the

line
// ### LOGGED IN USERS #########################################

This is where I got stuck - it had that line in my 3.0.3 version index.php but doesn't seem to have it in the new 3.0.5 version

the code for the forum home template is in and shows the box for the users who visited today

but as I don't know where to mod the index.php file as it doesn't have the 'LOGGED IN USERS line

hope this clarifies it a bit

Cheers

I just installed this mod with vb 3.0.5 and it works great. I made some changes and I am posting what I did if you want to have an option that does not require altering the index.php.

1 : create a php file called whos.online.today.php with the following and upload to the root of the forum. :

<?php
// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');

$now = TIMENOW ;
require_once('./includes/functions_misc.php');
$cutoff = vbmktime(0, 0, 0, vbdate('m', $now. false, false), vbdate('d', $now. false, false), vbdate('Y', $now. false, false));
//$cutoff = $now - 86400 ; // Uncomment this line if you don't have vB 3.0.3 and all users are showing.
$todaysusers = $DB_site->query("SELECT userid, lastactivity, options, username, opentag, closetag
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user as user
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup as usergroup ON(user.usergroupid = usergroup.usergroupid)
WHERE lastactivity > " .$cutoff. " ORDER BY username" );

$totaltoday = 0;
while ($today = $DB_site->fetch_array($todaysusers))
{
$today[visible] = 1 ;
$totaltoday += 1;
if ($today[options] & $_USEROPTIONS[invisible])
{
$today[visible] = 0 ;
if (($permissions['genericpermissions'] & CANSEEHIDDEN) OR $today['userid'] == $bbuserinfo['userid'])
{
$today[visible] = 2 ;
}
}
if ($today[visible])
{
$wrdate = vbdate($vboptions['timeformat'], $today['lastactivity']);
$whotoday .= "<a href='member.php?u=$today[userid]' title='$wrdate' >";
if ($today[visible] == 2)
{
$whotoday .= $today['opentag'].$today[username].$today['closetag']."</a>*, ";
}
else
{
$whotoday .= $today['opentag'].$today[username].$today['closetag']."</a>, ";
}
}
}
if ($whotoday)
{
$whotoday = substr($whotoday, 0, strlen($whotoday)-2);
}

?>

2: Go to the style manager. Open the style you want to edit.
In the common template section goto the phpinclude_start box and enter :

ob_start();
include('whos.online.today.php');
ob_end_clean();

3: Follow your instructions for replacing the code in the Forumhome template.

Done.

Works like a charm for me. Thanks for your work. I hope I don't offend you by posting what I did.

I would like to know since I dont play in vB a lot whether anything I did would open a security hole.

I see someone else has made a variation of this, I did also and I will share it here. Basically, I like the idea of it showing how many users are online today but not the names on my forumhome, I want that in a new page. The other modification for this does this but has never worked on my site, the numbers were different when you clicked on it. So I made it so this will work in a new page.

Create a new php page called online_today.php add all of the following code to it and save:

<?php
// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'online_today'); // change this depending on your filename

// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array(

);

// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array(

);

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array(
'online_today',
);

// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array(

);

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');

// ################################################## #####################
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
// ################################################## #####################

$navbits = array();
$navbits[$parent] = 'Online Today';
$now = TIMENOW ;
require_once('./includes/functions_misc.php');
$cutoff = vbmktime(0, 0, 0, vbdate('m', $now. false, false), vbdate('d', $now. false, false), vbdate('Y', $now. false, false));
//$cutoff = $now - 86400 ; // Uncomment this line if you don't have vB 3.0.3 and all users are showing.
$todaysusers = $DB_site->query("SELECT userid, lastactivity, options, username, opentag, closetag
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user as user
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup as usergroup ON(user.usergroupid = usergroup.usergroupid)
WHERE lastactivity > " .$cutoff. " ORDER BY username" );

$totaltoday = 0;
while ($today = $DB_site->fetch_array($todaysusers))
{
$today[visible] = 1 ;
$totaltoday += 1;
if ($today[options] & $_USEROPTIONS[invisible])
{
$today[visible] = 0 ;
if (($permissions['genericpermissions'] & CANSEEHIDDEN) OR $today['userid'] == $bbuserinfo['userid'])
{
$today[visible] = 2 ;
}
}
if ($today[visible])
{
$wrdate = vbdate($vboptions['timeformat'], $today['lastactivity']);
$whotoday .= "<a href='member.php?u=$today[userid]' title='$wrdate' >";
if ($today[visible] == 2)
{
$whotoday .= $today['opentag'].$today[username].$today['closetag']."</a>*, ";
}
else
{
$whotoday .= $today['opentag'].$today[username].$today['closetag']."</a>, ";
}
}
}
if ($whotoday)
{
$whotoday = substr($whotoday, 0, strlen($whotoday)-2);
}

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('online_today') . '");');

?>

Upload to your vb directory

Create a new template called online_today

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<title>$vboptions</title>
$headinclude

Okay, here it is in a collapsable module. Upload onlinetoday.php file to your modules directory and create a new template called adv_portal_onlinetoday and copy the context of adv_portal_onlinetoday.txt into it.

Create a new module

Module Title: Total Online Today

Module Identifier: (leave blank)

File to Include: onlinetoday.php

OR Template to Include: (leave blank)

Templates Used: adv_portal_onlinetoday

Test this out, it works okay for me but for some reason whenever I create a new module it shows up on my forumhome at the bottom in a center block no matter where I tell it do display, that may just be me though.

Well my index.php (3.0.5) has it, at line 274. :) - Just do a text search for "LOGGED IN".

Paul - sorry m8 for not getting back to you earlier - yes it is there - and it works a treat again

it must have been me - or something to do with my set up - picking up something from a cache - or just simply 'user interface problems' :rolleyes:

Anyway - cheers for a great and easy to use hack

I'm still pretty new to vBulletin and this is my first time trying a hack, so forgive me if this is a stupid question.

I'm running version 3.05 and just tried to install it. On my forum's home page, the box shows "Total users that have visited today", but no users are showing up. It's completely blank.

I followed the directions and modified the index.php code in SmartFTP and the FORUMHOME template in the AdminCP. Do you have any idea why the box shows, but no usernames? What can I do to make it work??

Thank you in advance for your time.

Paul M

01-16-2005, 11:10 AM

Are you sure you saved the modified index.php file ?

stumparoooo

01-16-2005, 03:36 PM

Yes, the modified index.php file is saved.

The whole code was copy and pasted in the index right above "Logged In Users".

edit: My mistake--I forgot to upload it after saving it in FTP. :speechless:

Thank you for your time, though!!

It works now and I love it! :):)

Thanks, Paul. I think it would be useful to see how many people actually post when logging in. It would be extra nice if when a name is clicked a page opens containing the posts that they made "today". So that the posts for that individual are displayed like a thread. This would be more convenient than the advanced search function.

I have uploaded v1.35 today which has a very minor bugfix - this will not affect anyone who already has this working - but I think it may cure the odd case (in vb versions prior to 3.0.3) where the vbdate function would not work (and hence people switched to the rolling 24 hours display).

You may want to consider adding a conditional to your phpinclude_start template to only run that query when the page selected is forum home or your new WWOL page. As it is that code runs on every page loaded whether it's used or not. Just a little optimization suggestion. :)

Does anyone know how this conditional could be added?

MickDoneDee

02-23-2005, 12:07 AM

Try:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT=='index'>
ob_start();
include('whos.online.today.php');
ob_end_clean();
</if>

In case people are wondering where your quote came from it was:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=593061&postcount=110

zaon

02-23-2005, 04:28 PM

You're saying that the code we inserted into index.php gets launched and processed all the time because a template called "phpinclude_start" (present in most templates on the board) points to code in index.php and so is referenced in showthread and other various templates on the board? So the proposed conditional tells phpinclude_start to only call the todays active users code from index.php when and if the template calling is the forum home but otherwise to ignore that code in index.php? (sorry, newbie, so a bit lost here).

MickDoneDee

02-23-2005, 05:31 PM

To learn a bit more about phpinclude_start have a look at these links:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=71313

http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/main/templates_phpinclude_start

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=128925&highlight=phpinclude_start

The reason Mosaicvb is using phpinclude_start is because he doesn't want to edit/hack his index.php file which voids the Jelsoft User Support eligability. So he created a PHP script (whos.online.today.php) that will do the same job using the phpinclude_start template to create the HTML and insert the data on the forum home page. However, since the phpinclude_start template loads with every page a conditional is used to run the whos.online.today.php file only when the index.php page is loaded.

Paul M

02-23-2005, 09:47 PM

You're saying that the code we inserted into index.php gets launched and processed all the time because a template called "phpinclude_start" (present in most templates on the board) points to code in index.php ........... No.

Just to be clear and repeat what MickDoneDee is saying - this hack edits index.php, and the code only runs when you are on the forum homepage.

However, Mosaicvb decided that they didn't want to run it this way and built themselves a seperate php file with the hack code in it, and then added code to the phpinclude_start template to run his file (see here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=592309)). The problem being that this means it gets run on every vb Page that you view, not just the forumhome page. I do not support this method of running it.

zaon

02-24-2005, 06:57 AM

oh ok, thanks Paul!!

Yeah, I run it in the default method except for uncommenting for rolling 24 hours because of international clientele ;-)

Paul,

This is nice and simple and works great, it is by far the easiest 'Last Visited' hack to install (1 php file alteration, 1 template alteration and an optional SQL query) have available atm by far, I know I have tried them all at one stage or another.

Also works without a hitch with v 3.0.7 and the optional query does speed up page load time.

Thanks for the painless install.

Hi jozo1 - I notice that you (and smokering, and a few odd others) have not clicked the "Install this Modification" link (just above the download link).

Being new to the site I expect you are not really aware of this - but clicking on this adds you to a list of people who have the hack installed - which helps the writer see how many people have the code, and also allows you to receive any notes sent out about updates. Please could you spare 30 seconds to do this - thanks.

Which bit of " uncomment this line " are you finding hard to understand ?

(apart from which, only one line is commented out anyway).

and you should not be quoting the hack for all to see either.

If you really don't understand it then I suggest you either find someone to install it for you, or don't bother. I cannot help you any further.

Worked flawlessly. I love this hack because it shows that the forums are busy, without having to up your "cookie timeout" time and lie about how many people are actually online. Like some people do, no names of course.

Great job Paul! :classic:

I uninstalled this mod because I could not fix it. It showed all my members been on line that day when it was not so. I liked the idea and was sure easy enough to add but I just couldn't get to work showing ONLY the actual members that visited, not the entire member list.
I will watch for new working versions.

JayeWell 300 odd other people seem to think it works perfectly. :)

Which version number did you install (or what date did you download it). There was a small error that seemed to cause this problem on mainly pre 3.0.3 versions of vB - it was fixed on Feb 15th.

I did not mean be speaking poorly of the mod. Not what I meant at all. I just installed it 2 days ago and got the file at same time. I read the posts here but did not see that there had been a fix so I just uninstalled it. If this is fixed that would be great. I do like this mod for sure. Should I try to do it again and see if it works out better ? You say this is all starightend out now ? I am have vb 3.7 working at this time.

So you have 3.0.7 and you downloaded it two days ago - this doesn't sound promising TBH - can you just make sure that the code you have is version 1.35 - if it is then you already have the code with what I hoped was the potential fix.

My problem is I cannot make it fail - it is the vbdate() function that fails on some servers, and I don't know why. Can you confirm what your server OS and PHP versions are ?

The rolling 24 hour version still works on these servers - just uncomment the relevant line.

JAYEMULE

03-03-2005, 06:32 PM

Yes, I had version 1.35 of wh was online today. I would sure love to use this mod. I will keep watching for the fix.
Sorry forgot the rest.
I use win XP pro and the latest version of php and my sql

Paul M

03-03-2005, 08:32 PM

The fix is to use the rolling 24 hours option - there will be no other fix as I have no way to reproduce the problem.

Love the hack.. but think I discovered one minor bug...

It DOES display special formatting/colors as assigned by usergroup so that names appear same in the 24 hr list as they do for currently active users.. BUT.. only if that formatting is from the primary user group. I have a couple members with a secondary usergroup which has the option set to override formatting, and it does override (causing name to appear in bold) in the currently active list but appears without formatting in the 24 hr list.

Is this fixable?

The one active member i have now is 'dejong' if you happen to catch him online at www.zaon.org then you can see how his formatting is special in currently active but unmodified in 24 hr list. His name should be bolded in both lists like our Moderators are (whose formatting is specified in our primary usergroup).

Took me a while to figure that one out, but seems to be what's going on here.

This question was also raised here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=582864&highlight=color#post582864

I think Paul said somewhere that it was too complicated to make colors work for Secondary usergroup. So that feature is not available for this hack.

I'm getting the following when I try to save my changes to the FORUMHOME template:

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/content/a/l/t/altirisadmin/html/vbulletin/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3096) : eval()'d code on line 195

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

Any Ideas?

Yes, you have made an error editing the template - revert it and try again.

Paul M

03-17-2005, 05:37 PM

I installed this hack and it is very nice, but I have a question. Is it possible to add a code to show, not the name or as in other hacks, guest, guest, guest, but just the total number of visitors who visited the board today? It already shows the number of members who have visited. It is not possible to add the number of guests.

How do I restrict to a certain usergroup please detail it carefully for me cos im not sureI don't understand what you mean - restrict what exactly ?

On my board I have installed hacks showing the total number of members that have posted today. The board also shows the total number of members who visited today, but what I want is to show the total number of visitors who visited today. I understand that current visitors are shown in the ?currently active users? (members, guests and spiders) but when they leave the numbers are gone and I want to keep those without using the scripts that I?ve located here that list each visitor as; guest1, guest2, guest3, and so on. I just want to retain the total number of visitors.

Installed nicely on 3.0.7... took about 3 minutes.

I noticed in my index.php I had also installed the:
"Members who have posted today" hack... you must be the same "Paul" that created that impressive one as well? My users loved that one, so I'm sure they'll be just as impressed with this latest one.

One question though (and I apologize for this) but I am a php noob and I've tried several things & all failed:

On both mods, The string:
WHERE lastactivity > " .$cutoff. " ORDER BY username" );

What the heck is the correct word to use (in place of username) if I want the names to be sorted by what time they logged in, instead of alphabetically?

Thanks-

I think I may have a clue as to what the one poster was talking about as far as it not working.

Maybe he has both of your mods just like me. I found that if the
Total members that have posted today
and the
Total users that have visited today

had both of their time set to reset at midnight (not rolling 24 hours) then one of them would not work, typically the Total users that have visited today one. ( Is this because of where it's placed in reference to the other?

So I changed one to show the rolling 24 hours, and the other was just on regular time, and they both started working.

At least that's how it appeared on this end.

Thanks-You need to use 'lastvisit' - however, you also need to add this field to the SELECT statement before it will work.

At least that's how it appeared on this end.There is no reason both should not work, they do here. :) I did make a small change to the way the midnight cutoff is calculated a while back - you need v1.40 of the 'last visited' and v1.50 of the 'last posted' to pickup this change.
