[Dennis B]

Great hack Paul, thanks. I also chose to have it collapsed by default, though (600+ people at the end of the day). ;)

[BiReL41r]

Yes, another great hack. Had this installed on my vB3.0 forum, great hack! A+!

[glensmail]

Installed (Clicked INSTALL aswell ;) ) and all working fine,

Thanks to the OP, this is just what I was looking for.

[Bubble #5]

Hi Paul :) This is not showing up. Is there any way that we can install it manually through the templates? We just checked and the ACP section is there, and the template 'Display_Visitors' is there, so most likely the code in 'What's going on' is just missing.

[Paul M]

First of all, have you checked what usergroups are allowed to see it ?

The actual code looks for the html comment "<!-- end logged-in users -->" in your forumhome template - if you have removed that for some reason then just insert it back where you want this to appear.

Thank you Paul :) That seems to have fixed it.

Could you please clearify what is meant by "Set to 'yes' for a rolling 24 hour display, leave as 'no' to reset the count at each members midnight." ? Does that mean that if it's set to yes and member 'X' logs in at 5:00 - that he will stay on the list until 5:00 the next day? VS. the no setting which would wipe the slate clean at midnight for everybody. Is that what it means?

[Highendfreak]

Nice Hack Paul, but is it also possible to show the total number of guests who have visited the forum today?!

Works Great!

[Calisse]

simple to use but a REAL enhancement for every single forum. Wouldnt use it if i had thousands of people on every day though.

install it now!! 20/10

That's why I remove the box that lists the members and just keep the 'Total Members That Have Visited in the Last 24 Hours:' line

[Paul M]

If I get some free time I may add a couple of options - one to suppress the list when a certain number of visitors is exceeded, and one to make it always collapsed by default. It may be a while though before these get added.

[Antivirus]

very nice, thank you

hi to evry one
I i'm a new on vb so I have put de xml in includes/xml/.... and it d'ont apears in my admin cp.
I'm using vb3.5.1
I need only to put the xml file or do I need something else?
Thanks in advance

[Paul M]

You don't upload the xml to your server, you import from your pc via the Product Manager

[SpaceSniper]

Sorry but it may be stupid but where are the product manager located?

[SpaceSniper]

Thanks I've found it,but by default it take 24h or less?

[Paul M]

Space, it's set to midnight by default, just select yes if you want an on-going 24 hour time change on this.

A Simple, Easy to Install and Awesome mod!!

EXCELLENT work Paul! :D Thanks!!!

[NetRover]

Hi there, i've just upgraded from 3 to 4 on vb 3.5.2.

I used to have a template with the number of users in a different colour to the default. Where would I now change this?

I also used to use a collapsed template you kindly gave me, it is still showing collapsed for me which is great but is that what all users will see? and how is this contolled in this latest version.

it's all great btw, and upgrade was painless

[Paul M]

I used to have a template with the number of users in a different colour to the default. Where would I now change this?Edit the Display_Visitors template.

I also used to use a collapsed template you kindly gave me, it is still showing collapsed for me which is great but is that what all users will see? and how is this contolled in this latest version.Edit the same template, the required changes are in post 369 of this thread.

[MGSteve]

I know that someone else did this, but this hack needs an option to show the list on another page. I've just installed it and now have a HUGE box at the bottom of the page showing 585 users online! Not to mention the bloat in the HTML.

Nice mod though.

[MGSteve]

btw, if people want to show the list of users online on another page (there's a link to such a mod in the hack overview above) and want to get it to work in the current version, this is what you need to do.

Download the mod by EvilHawk (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=794815)

Make the changes as described, but omit step 1.

Then edit the plugin for 'Members who have visited (2)' in forumhome_start & replace this bit of code

while ($today = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($todaysusers))
{
$totaltoday += 1;
$today['opentag'] = $today['opentaga'] ;
$today['closetag'] = $today['closetaga'] ;
if ($today['displaygroupid'])
{
$today['opentag'] = $today['opentagb'] ;
$today['closetag'] = $today['closetagb'] ;
}
$today[visible] = 1 ;
if ($today['options'] & $vbulletin->bf_misc_useroptions['invisible'])
{
$today['visible'] = 0 ;
if (($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['genericpermissions']
& $vbulletin->bf_ugp_genericpermissions['canseehidden'])
OR $today['userid'] == $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
{
$today['visible'] = 2 ;
}
}
if ($today['visible'])
{
$wrdate = vbdate($vbulletin->options['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);
}
else
{
$whotoday = $vbphrase['no_visitors'];
} with this while ($today = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($todaysusers))
{
$totaltoday += 1;
}
if ($totaltoday != 0)
{
$whotoday = "<br/><div><strong><a href='online_today.php?$session[sessionurl]'>Click here for the full list</a></strong></div>";
}
else
{
$whotoday = $vbphrase['no_visitors'];
}

And Jobs a good-un. This was for version 4.12 btw.

It's getting to be a bit too much on my site. But that's a good thing.
Can this be changed to display those who have visited in the last 12 hours?

THANKYOU!

Btw; will this hack work at 3.5.2?

is there a way to add the number of guests as well?

Craig

[GrabAssGirl]

Can someone help me out here..... I installed this hack and thought it was working great, until I created a user group and placed myself into that group. When I did that, this hack disappeared for that group. When I placed myself back in my original group, the hack came back.

Is there somewhere that I need to be adding the user group IDs so this hack works on all of them? It seems the custom user groups aren't picking up this hack.

TIA!

[GrabAssGirl]

Ignore this... I think I had a brain fart or a very blonde moment.. I do beleive I figured it out...

[Paul M]

CraigNot unless you have absolutely huge numbers visiting every day.

This only runs on the forum homepage, no other pages.

As an example, we have 600+ per day and it barely makes the server flicker. Obviously the homepage increases in size to accomodate the user list (500 users adds about 30k to the page) - and it runs one simple sql select query (which takes 0.092 seconds on our main forum).

It should be okay then, sounds like. I have just at 700 per day. Usually around 110 active at the same time. Thanks, Paul. :D

What is the url of your site ?

[scoles15]

<a href="http://www.ncwoodworker.net" target="_blank">http://www.ncwoodworker.net</a>

[Paul M]

You need to have the logged in users display turned on in order for this to display as well. You are actually the first person I have ever seen with this turned off. :)

[scoles15]

Thanks. The reason I had it turned off was becuase I have the same display using VBA CMPS and this seemed like an unecessary duplication. In fact I think I would like to try mod your mod so I can make it a CMPS module.

[tgmorris]

In fact I think I would like to try mod your mod so I can make it a CMPS module.Good news then. There's already a CMPS module (http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13431) that actually make use of *this* plugin.

Cool, would you like that linked in the main post ?

[tgmorris]

Sure thing. Thanks.

[Guest210212002]

Quick question: Where do I go to edit out the collapse option, and the markup for the number of users online?

Eg:

Total users that have visited today: 215

The red (er, green?) text there. I've checked the templates, I'm just not seeing it.

Thanks. :)

[Paul M]

Display_Visitors is the template this uses.

[92GreenGT]

Ive got a weird problem. After I installed it I noticed I had two of them showing on my home. Where I used to have the text hack uploaded its like it saved the thing to put it on the forum home thing and now its adding another one. How can I take the one off that I hacked awhile back and just have one installed?

[Snake]

Paul, I would like to add a few more text (or content) right next to the "Most users ever online in one day was 4, Yesterday." phrase. How do I do? Edit the plugin or template codes?

[Oreamnos]

Is threre a way to strip SECONDARY usergroup-based HTML markup from the list? (I want to keep primary group markup though).

If not, then I'd like to know how to strip all HTML markup altogether from the list.

[vbreal]

i am having the worst luck with products and plugins. i installed this one. set my prefernces in vb options. I got to be doing something wrong. i installed it it said it was done uploading all the templates. was i suposed to wait for the the thing to stop saying please wait. i waited like 30 minutes and it was still scrolling over to the right. it does that with all my product installs. so far nothing works.

[Paul M]

[mido]

works Great

Thank's :)

[Megareus Rex]

Just set the members display group to their primary group - that's standard vb functionality.

But I have markup in the secondary groups I want to use in most places, just not in the who's visited box.

I know in most places I've seen, its a matter of changing an instance(s) of [musername] to [username], but I couldn't find where to do it here, which is why I asked.

hmmm, since i have this problem with every hack i install. i know its not your xml file i need to replace if that is the case. do u know what xml file i may need to replaceI was referring to the XML file for this hack. If all your installs fail then clearly you have a problem with your vb.

[vbreal]

yeah i was working with someone on vb.com they think its a server issue. i am with go daddy and i found out they aren't good to host vb boards. so that's probably my problem. thanks anyway

[Megareus Rex]

Another question. I have it set to rolling (so everyone who visited in the last 24 hours is shown), but not everyone is displayed. It only shows about 24 people in the box, but it says "total people who've visited in past 24 hours: 51". Is that supposed to happen, and if so, how do I have it displays EVERYONE?

[Paul M]

Are you allowed to see hidden people ?

[Lisa-Marie]

love this - thank's

[Megareus Rex]

Are you allowed to see hidden people ?

Yeah, I am, and I do see the invisible ones.

Is there some kind of post threshold on it, where anyone below X posts doesn't show up? It seems to be the lower-post members who don't show up. Click the link in my sig to check for yourself (about 6 or so members are invisible, so you'll see 6 less, but since that would mean about 20 users on it, and the number it says is 50, thats still something).

EDIT: Figured out what caused it. Its only displaying members that either:
-Are set to invisible mode, or
-Are a member of a secondary usergroup.
People who ONLY have a primary group aren't displayed.

EDIT 2: Upon further testing, its that comment that's doing it. Commenting out those two lines causes it to ignore people without a secondary group, for some reason.

[Paul M]

Are you sure you commented out the right lines ?

$totaltoday += 1;
$today['opentag'] = $today['opentaga'] ;
$today['closetag'] = $today['closetaga'] ;
if ($today['displaygroupid'])
{
// $today['opentag'] = $today['opentagb'] ;
// $today['closetag'] = $today['closetagb'] ;
}
$today[visible] = 1 ;
if ($today['options'] & $vbulletin->bf_misc_useroptions['invisible'])

The correct lines are shown above.

It seems to be randomly deciding who can see it.. For the first day It worked fine for me and I could see when logged in or as guest but some forum users could not see it at all.. Then last night for no reason I now cannot see it when logged in, But as a guest on my forums I can see it...

and the plug in is turned on.

in the file i down loaded there is only this in there is there anything else i need to do for this to work ?

## This product is for vBulletin 3.5 ##

A Simple addition to display all members who have visited the forum.



Step 1.

Extract the XML file and import it into vBulletin as a product (using the ACP product manager).



Step 2.

Change the settings in 'vBulletin Options > Forums Home Page Options' as required.

To upgrade from version 4.10 onwards, you need to re-import the product with the overwrite option set to yes.

To upgrade from version 4.02 to version 4.10 onwards, you need to uninstall the product and remove the template code in FORUMHOME - then upload the new product.

To upgrade from version 3.xx to version 4.xx you need to delete the existing plugin and remove the template code in FORUMHOME - then upload the new product.

[ausnrl]

Cheers it worked

[Paul M]

FYI, I am testing an update to this that will add two more [often asked about] options.

* Suppress the list of names - instead a simple names listing disabled message will be shown.

* Always collapse the names list on first view - i.e. when ever you view the homepage the list of names will always be collapsed - a member will have to click on the expand icon to view the contents.

It will probably be ready sometime over the weekend. :)

[lordofgun]

Also, this only shows up for me if I have users currently logged in enabled. Would be nice to be able to turn that off and still show your hack.

Thanks!

[Paul M]

Also, this only shows up for me if I have users currently logged in enabled. Would be nice to be able to turn that off and still show your hack.I'm afraid this is never likely to happen as the display is tied in with the online display.

#

The options below have now been added and v4.15 released.

* Suppress the list of names - instead a simple names listing disabled message will be shown.

* Always collapse the names list on first view - i.e. whenever you view the homepage the list of names will always be collapsed - a member will have to click on the expand icon to view the contents.
There is no need to upgrade unless you want to use these options.

FYI - Their default settings reflect how previous versions worked. :)

[ffevo]

Not sure if someone has already asked... But all thier is, is a XML file in the zip and a Txt File. the TXT fule doesnt give much info on how to Upload it.. :-/

[TruthElixirX]

I have imported the product into a 3.5.3 board. It is not working. It is on the forumhome correct?

http://www.tjsdjs.com/forums/index.php

I am installing it on a client's board. I installed it on mine and it worked... It is enabled in the product manager.

[Paul M]

It's working fine on the link you have provided ;

Total members that have visited the forum in the last 24 hours: 998

[TruthElixirX]

Yes, it is now. I apologize. My client disabled the plug-in system and didn't tell me when I was trying to figure out the problem.-_-.

Thanks for the reply though!

[TruthElixirX]

See above. ;)

[Paul M]

Yes, it is now. I apologize. My client disabled the plug-in system and didn't tell me when I was trying to figure out the problem.-_-.

Who knows. :p. New client. Ran into a bit of trouble with some stuff. He had some jacked up stuff on his board btu ti was all straightened out.

And thanks.:)

I had this old mod running fine with vb 3.0.7. Then today I updated my vb to 3.5.3 and this mod shows " Total users that have visited today:" and nothing afterward; no total number and no names as it used to be.

If I install this module, can I just import it with overwrite option? Or do I have to delete the old installation? If so, how to delete the old version? Also, how to check the version of this mod?

Thank you in advance.

[tarantulas]

I have a problem. I had your old version right and what happened is it wasnt showing so i unistalled it and reinstalled now its showing 2 at once

I think I would end up the same, so I ask first how can I upgrade it.

OK. I figured it out now. I looked thru the previous version mod and remove the line in FORUMHOME template.. then installed this mod.

[Paul M]

[nwingate]

OK, I know I'm stupid. You need to uncomment something to switch the hack to 24 hours. What do I uncomment and where do I find this code to uncomment?

I wish the text file that was included with the download had some instructions. I've spent 20 mins looking through these 44 pages of content and still can't find the answer.

[Paul M]

You don't uncomment anything anymore - as per the first post ;

10. The switch between Visited Today and Rolling 24 Hours is an ACP option .

[V13]

I installed it and it works fine. Thanx for it man!

[forumsoup.com]

I put this on my site, love it, and clicked installed. Thanks!

[Paul M]

I've fixed a bug in the new install code so that it actually creates the index. If you have installed this for the first time in the last couple of days (i.e. v4.15) then I suggest you upgrade to v4.17 to create the index (note, while not strictly necessary, the index will improve performance of this on larger forums).

[Luggruff]

is there something I can add so that after "members who has visited the forum today: #" it will show how many guests that have visited? and a total of members and guests?

[Paul M]

Nope, there is no facility to include guests.

[abadired]

Hi Paul, I'm running 3.5.3 and your hack v4.11

Found out that my custom usergroups are unable to see the box (only default usergroups can see). Anyway I can fix this? will v4.17 fix this? please advise. Thanks.

[Paul M]

Found out that my custom usergroups are unable to see the box (only default usergroups can see). Anyway I can fix this? Read the notes :)

9. The ability to allow only certain usergroups to view the list is an ACP option (vBulletin Options > Forums Home Page Options).This has been there since v4.01 ;)

[abadired]

Read the notes :)

This has been there since v4.01 ;)

OIC...didn't notice that. Working great thanks Paul ;)

[mili]

Is there a way not to have users who is set to invisible show up in the list?

mili

[Paul M]

Turn off the ability for members to see invisible users, that's standard vb functionality.

[mili]

I am not that dumb. Invisible members are indeed invisible in the Who is Currenty Online list but the who visited in the past X hours ignores that.

mili

[Paul M]

As yet you still haven't clicked install.

Invisible members are indeed invisible in the Who is Currenty Online list but the who visited in the past X hours ignores that.As the notes say;

3. Invisible users are only displayed to those allowed to see them (with a "*")This is just the same as all other areas of vbulletin (including the WOL and Active Users List).

BTW, this is not the 'who visited in the past X hours' hack, there is another one by that name.

[BamaStangGuy]

Just a suggestion but you may want to add rel=\"nofollow\" to the urls

[Paul M]

Just a suggestion but you may want to add rel=\"nofollow\" to the urlsWhich urls ? and why, what does that do exactly ?

[BamaStangGuy]

Which urls ? and why, what does that do exactly ?

It makes the search engines not follow the links and not count it as a linkout.. basically makes the link non existent on the page in the eyes of a search engines so that your "pagerank" goes to your other links. Plus people with 200-300 members coming to their site a day dont want 200-300 active links to their member pages which will cause Spiders to spend their time visiting these links instead of spidering other more important parts of the forum.

Plus vBulletin by default adds relnofollow to the whos online section



if ($today['visible'])
{
$wrdate = vbdate($vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $today['lastactivity']);
$whotoday .= "<a rel=\"nofollow\" href='member.php?u=$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);
}
else
{
$whotoday = $vbphrase['no_visitors'];
}
$search_text = '<!-- end logged-in users -->';
$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = str_replace($search_text,
$search_text.fetch_template('Display_Visitors'),$v bulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME']);
}

That is where I added the rel=nofollow

[Paul M]

I see.

In that case, thank you for the suggestion. I'll add it to the next update. :)

[BamaStangGuy]

I see.

In that case, thank you for the suggestion. I'll add it to the next update. :)

No problem, just was in SEO mood today and got to thinking about all those Member names haha

Awesome plugin. Been wanting to add it for a while now.

Clicked Install

Most awesome

[Muscolino]

Having a problem with this hack.

The list of users that have visited aren't displaying (see pic) even though the active members sees to be updating properly.

[Paul M]

Neither of those messages matches what is in the current version (or indeed, any 3.5 version as far as I can remember) so I have no idea what you have done.

[Muscolino]

OK, I'll back track: nothing (other than the active members bit) worked when I first installed it so I started looking through the posts in this thread and ended up adding the code in this post:

if i want to see users that just logged in there how do i set it to do that?

a user logged on for about 10 minutes and she has not shown up on there yet

[Treak]

also is there a way in the forum home template that i can edit this to where its on the bottom of the statistics part? or no?

[Serial Killer]

Clicked 'Install' now! :)

So how do I change 'Total members that have visited the forum today' to 'Members who have visited the forums today'? (It's better English).

[Paul M]

So how do I change 'Total members that have visited the forum today' to 'Members who have visited the forums today'? (It's better English).Edit the phrase 'visited_today'.

[Paul M]

How can I reset my most ever users number?
Most ever users is not part of this hack, it's a standard part of vb. I can't think of an easy way to reset it without either editing the database or a one off custom plugin.

[Brandon Sheley]

I'd like to put this info somewhere other then in the whats going on box.. can we do that ?

[zagman76]

i am seeing this section of the bord appearing twice! any sugestions??

[Paul M]

Yes, remove the old code from the FORUMHOME template. You have probably upgraded your version of this hack and not followed that bit of the upgrade instructions. :)

[bada_bing]

I have installed this on my site but not showing up. I have entered the correct usergroups who can view this but not showing up on my vb skin.

[Paul M]

Have you modified your forumhome template - the hack looks for this comment ;

<!-- end logged-in users -->

[dsotmoon]

nevermind

[zagman76]

Yes, remove the old code from the FORUMHOME template. You have probably upgraded your version of this hack and not followed that bit of the upgrade instructions. :)

d'oh!

I could have sworn I did!!!

Thanks though - that worked! :)

[Treak]

also is there a way in the forum home template that i can edit this to where its on the bottom of the statistics part? or no?
any news on this!?

[Paul M]

You would have to edit the plugin, and possibly the template as well.

Already clicked "Install" some time ago, but never said "thanks" for the great hack.
Thanks. I really like it, that thgere are no template edits :)

[Dj92GTA]

I just tried to install this hack. I installed a few different hacks and they worked perfect including updating the ACP. I have a 3.5.4 verson.

It would display for the the registered users and admins but it wont for any other user groups due to the group restrictions.

The listing in the ACP is not there in the ( Forum Listings Display Options ) .

It did insert the phrases and the variables into the DB under the table ( setting ) and one in (settinggroup).

I just hacked the template to make it work for everyone all the time.

Just a heads up, could be on my end?

[Paul M]

could be on my end?Yes.

Did you try just re-downloading it, and installing it again ?

[Mudvayne]

Paul M.. Updated in 23rd feb.. But U didnt send any update mail :confused:..

[Paul M]

Maybe I didn't send one, I don't send out updates everytime, but I can't remember that far back now. :)

[Dj92GTA]

Yes.

Did you try just re-downloading it, and installing it again ?

Yes.. about 5 times. It will not write into the acp or follow the group variable, I have to change your code in the plugin to allow everyone rights to see it, changing all the false to true.

[Paul M]

Well obviously there is something odd with your system. Changing all the false's to true will break all the logic in it.

[ChiliVB]

Installed and works just as described. Installation and configuration was very painless. Thanks for your efforts! :classic:

[kartik786]

Anyway to also list the number of guests visiting the board ? for a board where the guests are too many and very few members registered members logging in, it would be quite a bad total members visited display.

Please tweak it to show number of guest users visited as well :)

[Paul M]

Sorry, but as previously explained, no record of guests is kept for this hack to use.

[ryans]

can you have the next release tell the total amount of guest that visited the site today too?

[Paul M]

Did you read the post above yours ? It's not possible.

[Mano]

Installed works just fine

[bada_bing]

You have completely removed the what's going on section so this will never work unless you add some code back.

[ed2k_2]

what's the problem in my installation, 2 (duplicate) panel of Who Visited Today appeared at the button of my forumhome?

[Viruseater]

Is there a way to make this NOT display the banned usergroup? I've got one member who, believe it or not, has been found physically stalking the owner of the forum (i'm just his server manager and friend) and he's registered hundreds, if not thousands of usernames. His IPs are banned but he's got a way somehow to keep changing nets at SBC. I've banned as far away as Class "B" and he can still chang them.

Now that I installed this plugin he sees it as a trophy. The guy is mentally ill (not sarcastic) and has a restraining order, but I can't stop him from hitting the forums. I also own the company that hosts this, and I can't just ban the provider from my routers because it's too big.

I don't know how else to accomplish this. Joe wants to leave the banned members visible on who's online but I don't see any way to do both.

Any thoughts?

http://forums.joerogan.net/

[Paul M]

The easiest way would be to edit the sql in the "Members who have visited (2)" plugin.

Change

WHERE lastactivity > " .$cutoff. " ORDER BY username
to

WHERE user.usergroupid <> 8 AND lastactivity > " .$cutoff. " ORDER BY username
Assuming that group 8 is your banned group.

[Viruseater]

That worked perfectly. Thank you!

[Kirk Y]

First off, great hack Paul. I've always loved this, ever since it was released for 3.0.x. This is however, the first time I've ever had a problem with it. It was working fine a few days ago, when I installed it, but now, for whatever reason, it's not showing up on my forumhome. I've tried reinstalling the plugin and have checked my settings for it; everything should be working -- but it's not. I did recently install the Plugin Acc., Template Cache, and Template Comp. hacks... could they have had some kind of adverse effect on it?

[Paul M]

I have no idea, since I don't use any of them, but it sounds very much like thay have broken something. Turn them off and see what happens.

[Kirk Y]

I disabled all of them through the Product Manager, but still nothing. Should I try manually removing all the edits? There were a few code modifications needed in admincp/global.php, global.php, and admincp/template.php.

Edit: I'm not sure what I did, I just logged out and then back in... and it was there again. I dunno, perhaps my board is possessed. Thanks for your help though Paul.

[EasyTarget]

hey paul, nice hack.

Is there a way it could be modified to do the same thing but for a subforum? So it'll show who's visited the one subforum in 24 hours (as well as keep the one on forumhome).

[Paul M]

No, vb does not keep any record of such things.

[EasyTarget]

well there's the currently viewing subforum option in vboptions (I have it disabled because I don't want it running in every forum, just in one), so wouldn't there be a way to track it from those users?

[BamaStangGuy]

Just curious but if I remove the guest usergroup from being able to see it is the code still being ran for it or does it not run the code at all? What I am wondering is if I make it so that guests do not see it is it still going to reduce the load on the server?

[Paul M]

It only runs the code for allowed groups - however, the difference in load would be small.

[MrsBee]

I installed this , but it is only showing up to Administrators and Moderators. I downloaded it again and re-installed it with no luck. Any idea as to what I can do to fix it? Thanks!

[TheMusicMan]

I installed this , but it is only showing up to Administrators and Moderators. I downloaded it again and re-installed it with no luck. Any idea as to what I can do to fix it? Thanks!Amend your settings for this in forum home options in AdminCP.

[MrsBee]

Should there be an additional section in the Forums Home Page Options when this is installed? I have everything set to display who's online, which it does. It just isn't showing this addition.

[MrsBee]

Nevermind, I found it right under the Forums Home Page Options. Thanks, it's working now!

[TheMusicMan]

Nevermind, I found it right under the Forums Home Page Options. Thanks, it's working now!... as I mentioned in #742

He is saying it is not actually in the forum home settings but right under it.

[LILMORA4]

can someone explain to me how and where to install this hack??? thanx

[photongbic]

Is there anyway to have this plugin track guests that come to a site? A simple number of guest visits would be fine?

Let me know.

[Paul M]

Read the previous page.

[photongbic]

I see hacks tracking spiders, how does that differ from guests? Or are both beyond the scope of this mod? By the way, great mod!
