Cool hack, thanks!

Very good hack. Running well on my board.

Ok... I didn't notice this mistake/problem UNTIL I loged out and logged in as a test user. The hack shows it as 0 members have visited since yesterday. And it HASN'T reset because I logged back in to an admin account and it shows 4 people (Still building).

Assuming I have understood you correctly, remember it's timezone dependant - are the admin account and the test account using the same timezone settings ?

Probably not. But shouldn't it still have atleast 1 person if the test account was logged in?

Mine for some reason doesn't appear to display any users that have visited:
Is below correct code for
FORUMHOME TEMPLATE:
*** Full template code removed, since this is against our rules and your license agreement. (MArcoH64) ***
Any help would be apreciated, As I don't use VBS standard templates, I have no hacks installed

Do you have the currently active users display turned off ?

(vBulletin Options > Forums Home Page Options > Display Logged in Users)

Nope it's On, if I turn it off i get this > http://www.exchangeuk.co.uk/e/
Nothing

That was my point - it needs to be on. Without a link to your site I had to ask you to check. please turn it on so I can see what you get. :)

It was on at first, after your reply it looked like you ask to turn it off, so I turned it off.
It doesn't matter, I decided not to use this as it most probably will just hug the board with queries.

Also having quite a few users login within a day I realise it would use quite a lot of space.

Your choice, but to answer those points - the list is collapsable - it uses 1 line when collapsed, and one select query [on forumhome only as well !) is nothing - it will never be noticed, affect nothing etc.

what's the latest version of onlinetoday.php? is it just 2.0? how is it different than the previous version?

Yes, its 2.00

To update it to 2.20 change this ;

to this ;

(and edit the comment from 2.00 to 2.20 :))

I think it's the skin I'm using paul, it was all in place but nothing was showing witin your hack....

So I took it off, would of been nice if what you say after what I posted doesn't use much queries etc..

Is my code right that I did post, as I had all in place but users visited today didn't appear, If my code is correct that I posted then I could find what's going on..

Paul, I updated your code in my file, and Im still having problems. Even at 12:01am, its still showing the users from yesterday. Actually, it shows nothing ( 0 ), even if I log in and back out. The only way I can get it to show users is by uncommenting this line
// $cutoff = $now - 86400 ; // ## Uncomment this line if you want a rolling 24 hours display ## //

Sorry but you have confused me here, this seems to contradict itself.

At 12:01am no users seems reasonable as it's likely no one has done anything to update their last activity time past the start time of 12:00 am (you should appear if you start refreshing the page).

I have a bit of debug code I can send you that will display all the timezone relevant information to so I can see how your midnight cutoff is being calculated. I won't have access to it for about 10 hours though.

Uncommenting the line you mention will work, since it's just a simple last 24 hours calculation. :)

I just worded it wrong. Umm, with the updated code. after 12:01am, the list shows noone on there. If i log in, refresh, log out, and check the list, it still shows noone there.

Uncommenting the line though will display my name fine. Not sure what the diff is between all that code and the commented line though.

Of course I cant test it once again until tongiht at 12:01am

While attempting to add this on my forum, I got the error message: "fatal Error". Any idea why?

Nope, and you haven't given much to go on.

Installed and looks great. But one question. Where do I add the Phrases:

NOW CREATE THE FOLLOWING PHRASES:
******************************
last_online_at_x / Last online at {1}
******************************
active_users_today / Number of Active Users Today
******************************
most_users_ever / Most users ever online on a day was {1} on {2}.
******************************
already_visited_today / The following members have already visited the forums today

Um, there are no such instructions in this hack ???

Just FYI, to get this to work in vBadvanced 2.0 I needed to set the Use Module Shell Template to NO. After that, everything worked great.

Thanks!

Okay, thanks for sharing this. :up:

Hi, I got the following error when modifying the template. Please advise.

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' in /usr26/home/gamtrak/public_html/GamTrakForum/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3096) : eval()'d code on line 192

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.

Thanks

Edit: Now I can not load my main page. Please help.

The usual reason is missing the </if> in step 2.

In fact, a couple of others have had this problem because they had other template mods installed - so the </if> that's part of the "find" in step 2 was not there, but they replaced the block anyway - and added the extra </if> in the replacement.

I did change the instructions to try and stop people tripping over this, but somewhere along the line the old instructions crept back in. I have reloaded the clearer instructions for you to try (sorry, I had to zip the text file due to the annoying new rule).

Hmm, okay - obviously you continued despite the warning.

My guess is you inserted an extra enf-if.

Try looking for this
and remove the hilighted </if>.

If that fails, PM me a copy of your forumhome template.

Hi, yes I messed up as I'm new at this. I'll send you the file now.

Thanks for your help as I'm in panic mode. hehe :D

Hi there, I had this working fine but since upgrading to 3.0.7 my stats are blank unless I uncomment the 24hr rolling line.

When I first re-installed the hack it was working until 12.00 and then nothing even after an hour of members in and out.

I preferred it before the upgrade with the 24hr stats.

As I installed ok last time I can't think where things might have gone wrong. I've redone the forum home template and index.php but no luck yet.

hope you can help

Sorry but I'm confused as to what your problem actually is.


and

Seem to me to suggest you want, and have, the rolling 24 hr display ????

is there a way for just showing a number and not all members? What I want is to log all visits (members and guests) and show up a number, like:

Online the last 24Hrs: 848 users

sorry for the question.

Edit the template to show what you want. However, this does not count guests.

Great mod works fine for me :D

installed without problem

thank you

thanks!

No problem !!

(now clicky the install link)

after 12 hour

member on line was zero for quite along time

then it started to count

help please

What version (of the hack) are you using ?

Hello

I am using v2.20

Version 2.30 is the latest, please upgrade to that first. :)

Thank you Paul for this hack!
