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.

Thanks for the support Just tell me the modification to do and I'll do it by hand. I'm not used to ATCS

Erm, I can see it fine on that site.

Total members that have visited the forum today: 37

I love it and it was my first attempt to put in a hack. Thanks

Hi, I am receiving an error which was never there before I updated the new files that made your previous hack obsolete.

It is now showing a "The most members online in one day was %1$s, %2$s." under the Description (optional) field when you click to create a new thread.

I am assuming that this error should be caused by this upgrade. Please advice because it looks pretty bad when users create new threads and see this strange error.

Standard vbulletin does not have an Optional Description field for threads.

That is correct. But it seems to have conflicted with the Show First Thread mod. Is there anyway I can resolve this?

[Paul M]

Sorry, I have no idea, I don't know anything about the mod you are referring to.

[Stifmeister2]

Before I upgrade, have you disabled the ability to see last time active on mouseover when you point some user's name?

I have v4.40 and I still have it. But I can't see that effect on your board (link in your sig)..

I'm asking because I love that feature and I'd hate to see it gone...

[Paul M]

Yes, that feature is still there.

(and it works fine on CF, are you sure you viewed the correct list - it's collapsed by default).

[Stifmeister2]

Ohh my bad.
