Forum Home Enhancements - Members who have visited Today (or in the last 24 hours).

This modification is no longer available or supported.

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

Note: it is not possible for this hack to count guests - however, see this thread to track guests.

The main features of the 3.6 version are basically the same as previous versions ;

1. It displays the list on the Forum Home.
2. The list view is collapsable, so you just see the number.
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 were last active.
6. The list is in member name order.
7. The mod is phrased.
8. The ability to turn it on/off is in the ACP Options.
9. The ability to allow only certain usergroups to view the list is an ACP option (include or exclude groups).
10. The switch between Visited Today and Rolling 24 Hours is an ACP option.
11. The listing of members can now be suppressed (a simple message is displayed instead).
12. The list of names can be set to be always collapsed on initial view.
13. The option to record and display the Most Ever visitors has been added (v4.43+).

(Options are in vBulletin Options > Who has visited today)

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

To upgrade from the 3.5 version just re-import the product with the overwrite option set to yes.


EvilHawk has also updated his WVT on a seperate page, see this post.

What version are you talking about, I don't see it in 3.7

[themajor]

dying to have this in VB 3.7

[Boofo]

The I suggest using the 3.7 version of this that Paul released.

[MrEyes]

Installed, working all good

However I have one quick question, in order to get this to integrate with some other mods on my site, I have set the "Code Option" to "Run Code on all pages". Does this mean that the SQL queries that are required to populate the data is executed on every single page view within the forum, or just pages that use that data?

[Paul M]

Every page view (hence "all pages").

[MrEyes]

Ahhhh might have to rethink my implementation of this then

It isn't healthy for DB usage if the SQL is called for every single page view regardless of whether the data is displayed.

[Paul M]

Well that depends on how busy your site is - its a simple sql select on an indexed database, unless you have a very busy site then its not really going to affect anything - however, it is an option you should think about and not just use for the sake of it.
