[Release] Total Users On Today
 

AUTHOR:

Tungsten


DESCRIPTION:

This template modification allows you to display the total number of unique visitors to your site during the current day on your forum home page. It is identical to the statistic shown on the admin control panel's Quick Stats table.

This requires two template modifications: One to the phpincludes_start template and one to the forumhome template.

The modification adds one query to the generation of your forum home page. It has been tested and confirmed to work on vBulletin 3.0.0 Gamma running under PHP 4.3.2.


SUPPORT:

If you have a tweak or an optimization for this mod, please submit it to me privately via PM so that I may test it. If your idea works and is something that we could all benefit from, I will likely add it to the release and will give you credit for your idea.

All other support requests should be submitted in this thread so that others may benefit.


SCREENSHOT:

A screen shot would be pointless. This is a very simple addition to your Who's Online box on the forum home page. :)


UPDATE LOG:

I updated this modification to work with vB3 Gamma as of December 9th, 2003. :)

interesting add on may use it someday

Nice modification, :)

I see you are using the old strpos way to identify the page, now that vB 3's here we dont have to use strpos ;). Thanks to the dev's we have a much quicker way.

Try using this instead:

Just thought id share, its a little bit speeder then the old way, not that you will notice it much :).

Nice mod, will have to try it out. :)

Works great... If some of you guys want to see what its like look at this page. I added the word Registered in front as I believe we are only counting registered users here and not guests.

Im going to check both your boards out, I get the mustang in april ;)

Thanks for sharing

It shows the number of people online today. Is there anyway to show the names of the ones online including guests?

You could list the names of the Registered user pretty easily. Worst case you just just do a select on the user table for everyone with a last login time > yesterday.

As for guests, anything you do with guests is inaccurate and probably should not be included. If an AOL user logs on he may register as 10 guests with his IP jumping all over the place. Dont forget spiders either.. :)
