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)

I have attached the Instructions and a new PHP-File in a ZIP File to this Posting. Please let me now if it's that, what you wanted.

Info: My attachment does not only contain the changes to the Original Hack....it's a complete new Hack, so it will be the best, you remove the other version of the hack.

[UPDATE]
I have forgotten something in onlinetoday.php (Moderators have not been highlighted), thanx to genial for the Fix!

I have replaced the Attachment with the new version.

off to add it now

[eva2000]

great it works perfectly.. screen cap of today so far

[eva2000]

another request... how would you allow

registered and guest users to view the onlinetoday.php page ? right now i have online.php only mod and admin viewable and it seems onlinetoday.php is the same..

i'd like

online.php to retain it's normal mod /admin only viewing

but

onlinetoday.php to be viewabe by guest and registered users as well as mods/admin

Eva, I commented the following out at line 15 of of onlinetoday.php and it did what you wanted:

PHP Code:

if (!$usergroupdef['canwhosonline']) {
  show_nopermission();
}

for some reason my

Most users ever online was 35 on 01-12-2002 at 08:31 AM.

keeps changing to whatever I have on at that given time

here is the code I am using for that

<tr id="cat">
<td bgcolor="{categorybackcolor}" colspan="6"><a href="online.php?s=$session[sessionhash]"><normalfont color="{categoryfontcolor}"><b>Currently Active Users</b></normalfont></a><normalfont color="{categoryfontcolor}"><b>: $totalonline</b></normalfont></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" colspan="6"><smallfont>
<nobr>There are currently $numberregistered members and $numberguest guests on the boards.</nobr> |
<nobr>Most users ever online was $recordusers on $recorddate at $recordtime.</nobr><br>
$activeusers
$birthdaybits</smallfont></td>
</tr>

Any clues?

I found a slight problem with onlinetoday.php when the day changed. Max users and date is fine on forumhome, but it's showing todays information on onlinetoday.php instead of the max number. I looked at Eva's board and it's doing the same thing. I've been tinkering with the code. I've managed to break it several times, but I haven't gotten it right yet.

yeah noticed that on my forums too

waiting for a fix

[genial]

in the near future i will make a new release of this hack.

the new release includes all existing features and an extra todayonline-page in "who is online"-style. the display on forumhome will be dis- or enabled in admin-cp options. and specially guests will be counted.
