Forum Home Enhancements - Members who have visited today.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This modification has been withdrawn.
vBulletin 4.0.x and 4.1.x are no longer supported.

The feature is already built into the core vBulletin 4.2.x code.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


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.

This modification cannot count guests, it is members only.

Note that installing this will automatically remove the "Member Tracking" modification.

The main features of the vB4 version are as follows ;

1. It displays the list on the Forum Home.
2. Invisible users are only displayed to those allowed to see them (with a "*")
3. Users who should display as coloured or bold etc will be displayed correctly (based on the display usergroup).
4. If you 'hover' over a username it will show the time they were last active.
5. The list is in member name order.
6. The ability to turn it on/off is in the ACP Options.
7. The ability to allow only certain usergroups to view the list is an ACP option (include or exclude groups).
8. An option to record and display the Most Ever Members can be enabled.
9. The switch between Visited Today and Rolling 24 Hours is an ACP option.
10. The listing of members can be suppressed (a simple message is displayed instead).
11. The list view is collapsable, so you just see the number .
12. The display can be set as always collapsed on initial page load.

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

To install just download the XML and import into vB using the ACP Product Manager.

Did you read the notes or look at the options ?

7. The ability to allow only certain usergroups to view the list is an ACP option (include or exclude groups).

[smirkley]

Paul, I think it is nneded to not display members that have been banned. Maybe certain member groups need to be excluded, or at least a mechanism to select such.

I constantly ban spammers, but their names continue to display in this mod regardless.

Just an idea.

Thanks

I have to disagree with you. Why is it a problem for banned users to display? Don't you want to know what they're up to?

[smirkley]

Doesnt really matter what the banned are doing on my board. Permissions restrict them from doing anything at all. Pluys they are just spammers anyways.

[Paul M]

Banned or not, they still visited, hence they should be displayed.

[smirkley]

True that is.

To me though, anyone I have banned specifcally spammers, will never be members again, and they just pollute my who visited today block. Some even revisit. And I dont think anyone on my forum, including me, really want to see usernames of non-members. I dont delete the accounts of banned members as this way I can prevent that email or username from being used again, from humans or spambots.

Any suggestion of code then that would allow me to make this change for my forum? Just for the banned usergroup?

However, it does work as advertised in Firefox. It does not work in IE8.

I dont have IE8 anywhere.

Has anyone figured this out yet? If I click the "compatiblity" icon on IE8, the hover works, but the commas don't display.
