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

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.


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.

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

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.

Thanks! Works great now.

Very useful. :) I install!

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

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

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.

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
