Members who have posted on the forum (Today or last 24 hours).

[Paul M]

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This plugin adds a simple display of all members who have posted in the forum - either today (i.e. since midnight) or in the last 24 hours.

The main features of Version 4.xx are basically the same as previous versions ;

1. It displays the list on Forum Home.
2. The list view is collapsable, so you just see the number of posters.
3. Invisible users are only displayed to those allowed to see them (with a "*")
4. Users who should display as coloured or bold etc will be displayed correctly. (based on the display usergroup)
5. If you 'hover' over a username it will show the time they last posted.
6. The list is in member name order.
7. If you click on a members name it will list their posts.

As well as this - Version 4 is a vB Product and adds the following ;

8. The hack is phrased.
9. The ability to turn it on/off is in the ACP Forum Home Options.
10. The ability to allow only certain usergroups to view the list is an ACP option (vBulletin Options > Forums Home Page Options).
11. The switch between Posted Today and Rolling 24 Hours is an ACP option (many seem to miss this actually exists).

Unzip the XML and import into vB using the ACP Product Manager.

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.

* An add-on to display a 'Most ever posters' count is available here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=98887).


History:

v4.10 : Removed the need to edit the FORUMHOME template.
v4.11 : Hyperlinked display icon to todays posts list. Added vb number formatting to count.
v4.12 : Added ALT tag to above hyperlink.
v4.13 : Fixed problem affecting the most posters add-on when more than 999 post in a day.
v4.14 : Updated the install code to only create the index if it doesn't already exist.
v4.15 : Updated ACP view permission option to take into account secondary groups.
v4.16 : Added 'nofollow' attribute to listed usernames.
v4.17 : Minor changes, no update necessary.

[Roxie]

Looks great, but when I hover I don't get the time of their last post.

[Paul M]

Damn - you are correct - a small change missed in the port from 3.0.7.

Fixed and uploaded, just delete the plugin and import the new one.

[Roxie]

Thanks! Works great now.

[Loki12]

Very useful. :) I install!

[Gary King]

Run this through the w3 validator. Fix the & so that it is &, otherwise you get hundreds of XHTML errors.

[SHANE-D-PAIN]

This and the users visited today both stopped working for me when it hit midnight!

They just show 0 and no names now!!!

You and your bloody XHTML compliance :p

And that happens to me sometimes SHANE-D-PAIN :ermm:

Not sure why, but it corrects itself after a few hours...

Satan

[Paul M]

Apart from a few web developers, I have yet to meet a forum admin who cares about XHTML compliance, so no, it's not high on my list of things to worry about - and besides - what "&" ? - there isn't one in this that I can think of.

This and the users visited today both stopped working for me when it hit midnight!

They just show 0 and no names now!!!Um, it's supposed to reset at midnight - until someone posts again after midnight it will show 0.

FYI: Version 3.30 has been uploaded.

Put it this way. It isn't a big deal to add 3 characters to remove 100+ errors.

Are you certain there isn't a & in your code? Willing to bet on it? :p

[Paul M]

Perhaps you could point out where it is then, bacause I can't see one.

[Gary King]

In the Members Who Have Posted Today for the forumhome_start hook,

$posttoday .= "<a href='search.php?do=finduser&u=$today[userid]' title='$wrdate' >";

Notice the & ;)

[Paul M]

Well there you go then - you can fix your own now. :)

I'll alter my local source for when I next upload an update, no one else seems worried atm, so no hurry.

Now converted from a 'Plugin' to a 'Product' which means ;

* The hack is phrased.
* The ability to turn it on/off is an option in the ACP.
* The ability to allow only certain usergroups to view the list is an ACP option.
* The switch between Visited Today and Rolling 24 Hours is an ACP option (many seem to miss this actually exists).

If you are happy with it working as is - then obviously there is no requirement to upgrade - I will still support the old version (though I will strongly urge you to upgrade in most cases). If you wish to upgrade then you will need to delete the existing plugin, upload the new product, and replace the template code with the new version.

[divided_by_fear]

love the plugin but one thing... if you run this through the w3 validator you get one error...

here is code

<td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/whos_online.gif" border="0" /></td>

here is the only change...

<td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/whos_online.gif" alt="" border="0" /></td>

not trying to be picky or nothing just figured the one code makes it show no errors...

[reteep]

The update worked great, thanks a lot Paul!

[funinthesun]

Installed. Thanks

P.S Do you think it would be possible to put a "most ever users that posted in 24 hours" or a "most ever users who visted in 24 hours" the same as the "most ever users online" is? Just a thought but no biggie :)

Just a thought but no biggie :)Assuming I understand this correctly, see the main post, near the bottom, it links to an add-on for this.

[funinthesun]

Oh sorry, I've just realised how that sounded. D'oh! What I meant was in the box 'currently active users' it says "most users ever online was..." and I was wondering if you could somehow put similar text for the "total members that have visted the forum" so that in the box it would say 'most ever users that visited the forum in 24 hours were...' I hope that makes more sense!? It really isn't a big deal. :)

[Paul M]

Sorry, I'm not following at all.

This is a members who have posted hack, there is a seperate members who have visited hack.

[Cedric_FP]

Nice hack. Thanks.

[funinthesun]

Lol, don't worry, I was only suggesting a little add on for both hacks but it really doesn't matter as it wasn't a big thing to change :)

[lsgworldl]

nice installed on my new forum I am setting up

[smsmasters]

How do you move this below " Total members that have visited the forum in the last 24 hours" block?

Thanks

[funinthesun]

I would also like to know how to do that. Thanks :)

[smsmasters]

I assume you have to edit:

$search_text = '<!-- end logged-in users -->';

What template shall I change it to?

[smsmasters]

Bump, thanks :)

[Paul M]

Bump, thanks :)After [less than] four hours, are you joking ?

[smsmasters]

Can you please tell me how to move this below " Total members that have visited the forum in the last 24 hours" block?

Thanks very much Paul M ;)

[Paul M]

There is no facility (currently) in vb3.5 to determine what order plugins are run, it is based on their installation order. Basically they will be displayed in the order that you installed them. The quickest way therefore would be to uninstall the 'last visited product' and then re-install it.

[smsmasters]

Thanks for the tip Paul M, it worked! :nervous:

[Moya]

It is not working for me. I couldn't see it anywhere.

Guests are not in the default view list.

I put 0 in both

Who Posted - Groups allowed to View

Who Visited - Groups allowed to View

and enable both

Who Visited - Enable

Who Posted - Enable

[Paul M]

Can't help you further without an admin login, I can't think of any reason they would not show.

I'm having the same issue, but regardless of what I do to uninstall and reinstall the order won't change.

I have even tried uninstalling both and reinstalling the opposite way round, but the who's posted still shows above the who's visited.

[Paul M]

Well like it says, atm vb does not provide any ability to change the order that plugins run, it's basically random (as in the order mysql supplies the records from the database). There is nothing I can do about that.

No problem Paul...I'll live with it. It does illustrate a disadvantage with the fancy plug in system...lovely as it is for installing hacks, there's no substitute for being able to play around in the template. :)

Great hacks though Paul.....fantastically written and work perfectly!

[Tralala]

Cool hack, thanks!

/Clicks INSTALL

Two issues:
- I notice this only works if I also have "Display Logged in Users?" set to YES. That is, if the "Currently Active Users" grid isn't set to show, then neither does this, regardless of it's settings. Would like for them to be independent of each other.

- I have a 3rd party skin, and while this hack works fine, the white box doesn't extend all the way to the right. Is there a way for me to edit a template so it displays properly? I can upload a screenshot if it will help.

Thanks for the cool hack!

[Paul M]

It's designed to be displayed with the currently active users display and cannot be easily seperated. A screenshot won't really help, I/people would need access the page to view the html. I'm not much of an html expert so I may or may not know the answer.

[CongTuDepTrai]

can you add the number of post the made today? because your mod only display the members who post, not the number of post they made

[Paul M]

Nope, sorry, that's not going to be added.

Will it work in the Future with vBulletin 3.6 (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=187654) ?

[Paul M]

I have no idea if it will work on 3.6 as I haven't even seen 3.6 code yet. If it does it does, if it doesn't then a 3.6 version will eventually be available.

Please note that this applies to most of my 3.5 releases. :)

[Lottis]

I have this hack in 3.6.0 beta and it works.
Only bugger is, that i have to run a count in the user titel the get it to include
admin and moderators to the list of who has posted.

[Paul M]

I don't really understand what you mean by that.

[Lottis]

Sorry, Paul M. I am terribel to explain in english.
I will try again.
This mod, works. But it wont count in admins and supermoderator.
So i have to update counters every day, to make it registered that admin and mods have been posting.

[Paul M]

There is a setting to control who can view the list - but there is nothing to exclude anyone from the count.

[jplg]

Most users ever online was...
does it belong to this hack? cause on my site it hasnt been updated since 06-30-2006
where is it a wrong setting in the Admin cpanel?

[o0Hubba0o]

There is a setting to control who can view the list - but there is nothing to exclude anyone from the count.

I'm using 3.6 rc1 and it only shows registered members, it will not show mods, super mods, admin. Not sure about the custom user groups yet though. So there may not be something to exclude anyone, but it will need to be updated for 3.6, probably after it goes gold, but sooner would be nice. ;)

If I do a "Update User Titles and Ranks" in the update counters section under maintenance it will then add me to the list of posters.

[SnickersTK]

I need help with something unrelated.

<If member has not posted the past 24 hours>

To install this hack, follow the install instructions in the zip file.
I downloaded and unzipped the file but there is no install instructions included as stated above. All that was there was the xml file. Am I missing something?

No it's not there, but if I remember right all you have to do is upload the xml file and you're set.

[Paul M]

I downloaded and unzipped the file but there is no install instructions included as stated above. All that was there was the xml file. Am I missing something?Nope, I missed updating the first post when I removed the instructions file.

It should say this (and now does) ;

Unzip the XML and import into vB using the ACP Product Manager.

Oh, im glad that it just wasent in my place.;)
I have RC2 now, and it still doesent count other that regular members. ;)

[Paul M]

My bug report got closed as a duplicate, so it was already known about.

[Emmy2]

Thanks so much, installed and working.

[Emmy2]

I really like this mod a lot and am aiming to use it to encourage members to post (ie. the reward is to get their name in the list). In that vein, I am using the members who posted today (since midnight) option and changed the wording to "Members Who Have Joined The Discussions Today". The names are currently displayed alphabetically I see, and I can see the total number going up as people post, but I can't tell WHO has recently posted for the first time since my numbers are relative high (62) and it being an alphabetical display the new name gets buried amongst all the other names. Long story short, is there some way to tweak this to display the names in the order of when people joined in the discussions? In other words, in the order of the time of their first post today? To sort of mimic how one joins a chatroom and how you can see people coming in. This would be an incentive to members to see their name added to the end of the list when they first post, and other members would benefit by being able to scan to the end of the list to see who has posted most recently for the first time. It's just an idea that occurred to me, no idea if it's possible or not.

Again, really great mod! I love it!
