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.

Sorry for the dumb question, but being totally new to VB, how do I install this addon?

I have a live forum with 230+ member & 3500 articles, so I don't want to mess things up.

Can someone please tell me how to install this, or point me to a step-by-step instructions page?

[deezelpope]

Just follow Paul's instructions as stated above...it's a piece of cake!

As it says ;

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

I think I got lost with the "ACP Product Manager" part, I can't quite see it. Yet...

[SoftDux]

In the admin section, I have clicked on "Plugins & Products > Manage Products > Add/Import Product > Browse for XML file", and I can then see it in my list, but can't see where to "admin" it?

There's a "Edit" button on the right, but that only seems to be stuff related to the script, like version, history, etc.

[Paul M]

You have now imported it ?

The settings are in the Vbulletin Options.

[SoftDux]

yes, thank you. I have got it installed. I think my big learning curve comes from the fact that things are scattered all around, and clicking on the plugin / addon's name doesn't take you to it's program settings, which is where I would expect it to be.

Anyway, what do you think about it? It's running on http://www.WebHostingTalk.co.za

If you want people to comment on your style then post in the community reviews forum.

[SoftDux]

Thanx, I'll keep that in mind

Paul, have you considered my request for an additional option to show rolling-24-hour-mode to guests and fixed-day-mode to registered members?

If not, or you decide against it, would you mind if I tried my hand on it and provide it here?
