Hack Name: Who was online today
Hack Version: 1.0.2
For vB Version:: 2.x

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)

Mystics

Not workign for me. I loaded everything, getting no error messages. Nothing is showing up!?!?!? Being new to this stuff, the templates I am making is a new one that will be in the customized area?

Great Hack,

I'm also +6 hours form my server.... What did I do? Easy, just typed:
"Registered Users Online today (From 06:00 am to 06:00 am)" http://www.dondepuedo.com/foro/onlinetoday.php?s=

hehehehhee

I have one question, my VB is 2.0.3, the hack works perfect, but Mods and Admins are not showed in bold or bold + italic. Does it work only for 2.2.x?

Thanks and, please, excuse my English

This feature first was implemented in vB 2.2.x...so it doesn't work in 2.0.3, neither in "Who's online", nor in "Who was online today".

I realized a little upgrade to the hack to manage other local times than the server.
Unfortunately, as it should be an absolute value to show an user the onlines from midnight, any admin should choose only ONE midnight for his server, and all the other time-zoned users will see the admin's midnight.
If someone is interested and with the permission of the author of this hack, I could post mine ...

LMK.
Thanks

Don't know if this has been asked before (and if it has, my apologies in advance), but would it be possible to do a variant of this hack that doesn't store all the names of those that have visited in a day, just the number, and to have that displayed in the Currently Active Users section (ie included in the forumhome_loggedinusers template)?

If it is, could someone give me a step-by-step on how to do that, please?

Hi there,

nice hack, works great and was very easy to install!

Guests would be nice as mentioned, what about storing visitors in "whois online"?
Then stored visitors online today + members online today = all sessions served today... please state if I see things to easy

Anyway: Great hack!

[german]Super Sache: Gute Arbeit!

The hack DOESN'T store anyway all the users.
Simply searches into DB for all contacts within the day (for each user is keepen the timemark of last access).
The hack infact contains two selects: first for COUNT, second for retrieve rows.
Simply, use only the first one...

Hwr I suggest you to use the second variation (with new page).
Simply you can modify index.php as written and don't create the link into template.

Bye

But that would still show the users online today in a separate "box" to the currently active users box. How would one incorporate the two together?

Sorry if the answer to this is an obvious one, but I'm still getting to grips with vBulletin!

Jawelin · #**110** 02-11-2002, 12:03 PM

They are in different bits in templates.
You should merge that bits in one, but shall work a little with cut&paste...

Martz · #**111** 02-11-2002, 05:10 PM

How difficult would it be to change the query to show the the maximum number of users today, concurrently? This would be good for checking how many people have been on at once, instead of in total. It would be a great addition!

What would the query be?
