This modification is no longer available or supported.

Warning: Do not run this vb 3.5 version on a vb 3.6 forum.

Adds a split 'most ever' members & guests count to the active users dsiplay.

Just download the product XML file and import using the Product Manager.


Note: Obviously it will only count from the time you install it, neither it nor I can see backwards in time.



History:

v2.02 : First Release.
v2.03 : Changed logic of IF statement.
v2.04 : Minor changes, no update necessary.

Quite nice, although a little unneccessary IMO. :)

Schweet, thank you for releasing this.! :D

PM me your paypal address so that I can send you some beer money, as I said I would.


Quite nice, although a little unneccessary IMO. :)It can be used as an addon to the "Show Members Online Today" mod (with a bit of editing).. ;)

Nice one, looks a bit weird thou as my top online users was 747.

I take it it starts from the moment you install...

nice thou

One small suggestion would be to change your two "<=" conditions to just "<". Since essentially, the 'record' isn't being beaten and is just equalled this would save on resources for smaller boards because updating the datastore runs an additional query..

Could you make this so that spiders are excluded?

would you mind sharing how you achieved this? :nervous:

Has this been done? Sorry, I'm very new to the hacking scene and my head spins when I try to look at the code for myself :ermm:

Since he edited his post rather than post a new reply, I didn't see it until now. It's a very minor thing that no one will ever really notice (it's how the main vb code works ;)) - however, I will change it, and upload v2.03 later (in fact, I'll reverse the whole logic of that IF, since IMO it's backwads atm).

Especially because I'm a dumbass and thought that this plugin did something it doesn't.

Paul, my suggestion applies to the other plugin also.. :)

Is there a way to add the text "The most ever members online was 8, 11-06-2005 at 07:17 PM. The most ever guests online was 20, 11-07-2005 at 07:24 AM." after the default text "Most users ever online was 21, 11-08-2005 at 08:25 PM."? I don't like how it shows on the bottom under the users.

You would need to edit the plugin code to do that. It would be a rather long line .....

Paul, would there be a way to get this to count spiders, too? ;)

Paul, would there be a way to get this to count spiders, too? ;)Not without extra code, and a way to split out spiders, vb does not seperate them from other guests.

How can the two stats be on two separate lines instead of the one, it would look tidier I think.

*clicks install*

Change ;

$activeusers = $activeusers."<br />".$maxmemberstext." ".$maxgueststext;
To ;

$activeusers .= "<br />".$maxmemberstext."<br />".$maxgueststext;

You will need to edit the plugin ;

Change;

$activeusers = $activeusers."<br />".$maxmemberstext." ".$maxgueststext
to

$activeusers = $activeusers."<br />".$maxmemberstext."<br />".$maxgueststext

Thanks for the mod, Paul M.

For me the most users online stat was a bit useless and I'd much prefer to know the most members online. Is there no way to backdate it?

Not unless you build a time machine. :)

I did see your initial comments, but I wasn't sure if the database kept track of it or not, as it always displays the current members and guests.

Thanks.

A word of warning - if you upgrade your forum to vb 3.6 then disable this modification before you upgrade, and then upgrade it to the 3.6 version after you have finished, then re-enable it - running this 3.5 version on a 3.6 forum can break your most users/visitors etc statistics.

And if we didn't follow this advise ... meaning we didn't see this till now after upgrading how would we go about fixing it?
