Description:
This Hack adds something like the "Currently Active Users:"-Feature of vBulletin.
The difference is, instead of showing the users, who are currently online, it shows
all Users, who were online on a day and it also displays "Most users ever online on a day".

Summary of the Features:

• Shows "Number of Active Users Today"
• Shows "Most users ever online on a day"
• Shows last online time for each User while pointing the Mouse Cursor on it's name (=mouseover) in the list

Important: The Hack only works 100% correct, when each member is in the same time zone as the Server!

Files to edit: index.php
Templates to edit: forumhome
New Templates: forumhome_todayloggedinusers, forumhome_todayloggedinuser

I have attached the Install Instructions in a Text File.
The Instruction is in English and in German.

I will attach a Screenshot in a Reply to this Thread!

Post any Questions into this Thread!

Updates in 1.0.1: Inserted the two new templates into the template precaching (first step)

Updates in 1.0.2: Fixed a little Bug with the "Most users ever online on a day"-Count
(Replace '$maxusers[2] = $todayonline;' with '$maxusers[2] = $numbertodayonline;' in index.php)

Info: You can find an other version of this Hack here. In this other version the usernames of the members, who were already online today, are not shown on the Forum-Mainpage; the names are shown in an extra File (like online.php), onlinetoday.php (Screenshot).

So, depending on which version of the Hack you prefer, you have to download this:
Version with usernames on the main Site of the Forum

or this:
Version with usernames on extra site (onlinetoday.php)

Nice!

What about the 'today' concept on board with different timezone from the users ?

It was the biggest - my own opinion - problem on the original hack.
Thanks.

[Jawelin]

The above patch works correctly to 'identify' the midnight away from the server's timezone, but there's still a problem with the $time variable, I guess.
Infact, when a new day arrives across midnight on the user's timezone (me, for instance, the Admin), this hack goes on adding the user number to the new-day counter as it was the previous day....

I can't get out !!! Heeeellllppppp, please!

Note: my time = +1, server's time -5 = vbdate difference +6

Thanks a lot.
Bye

is the hack on first page updated?

No, the Hack on the first page only works 100% correct, when the server is in the same time zone as all users.

Please check, if you have done really all changes in your Templates and your PHPs! The record doesn't get reset if everything is built-in correct

SURE! Of course.
Sorry having confused someone.

Even, does anybody have a solution to my problem with 6 hours more than the server ?

Mystics, which point should I modify to change the day for the stored counter ???

Thanks

What ever problems the original hack had with the today concept will be in this one as well. All my friend did was modify it to use with the colored online users. We didn't anticipate the time zone problems.

Any chance to make this only visible to registered users or Admin?
