Hack Name: Who was online today Hack Version: 1.0.2 For vB Version:: 2.x Originally Created by: genial @ Skats Board (Contact)
Documentation, Translation, a few changes and posted by: Mystics
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).
Originally posted by Keith I have same issue since day 1, resets back to 0 (zero) every day as opposed to storing and showing "most ever". I'm also using VBPortal, but dont understand how that would effect the hack. If it is interfering with the hack, there's no instructions on how to handle or fix.
Portal doesn't use the same params/variables as in the hack, unless I'm missing something. The forum index.php page generated is separate from the main portal page.
Like most of us it's the timezone problem that resets it, and still no fix.
I can't say it's a time zone problem on my forum. My "most users ever online" reflects current online. It fluctuates up and down all day. My "most ever online in a day" reflects the total that have been on that current day and resets at the beginning of the next day, then starts counting up again. The total for the day resets correctly.
What if we set the timezone to -5GMT, then hide this setting in the registration and profile area so members cannot change it. Also hide it from incoming members who are registering, then reset all my current members in the database to this same timezone.
Theoretically, the server time, the VBulletin time and all members would then be in the same timezone right? I have to mull this over some more, it's just a thought. Have no idea how to hide this though yet.
Well, that didn't work. Hiding the timezone piece in all the templates and resetting all the members to the same timezone as the vbulleting timezone did absolutely nothing. So the search for a fix continues.
Firefly, the hack appears to work fine here. Given you have members all around the world and the resulting amount of different timezones, why does it work here?
Ah, screw it. I'm uninstalling. This is making me look bad, resetting the Most Users Online Ever count. No one seems to be near a solution, and the people who have it working aren't talking.
