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)

Dein Hack funzt tadellos! THX!!

Jawelin · #84 01-28-2002, 03:24 PM

Very very useful hack, but I have some synchro problem... :greedy:

Installation type #1: I definetively don't think the followin code finds out the right midnight time when the server hasn't the same user's time zone...

leased:

PHP Code:


			
WHERE lastactivity > " . mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d"),date("Y")) . "

???

Thanks a lot.
Bye

and test it again.
i hope so it will work well. please give me your feedback about it.

Excuse me.
If you make the correction to $unixtoday between the two SELECTs, you'll obtain different results from SELECT COUNT and SELECT... Shouldn't you ?

I think it should be bette place the

PHP Code:


			
$unixtoday = $unixtoday + ($bbuserinfo['timezoneoffset'] - $timeoffset) * 3600;

right after the first $unixtoday = assignment.

Do you agree ?

genial · #86 01-28-2002, 09:38 PM

The problem is, if the timezone of a member is -5 cet and another user has +7 cet, then there are problems with the correct count of today-online-record. Therefore, for the online record counts it has to be taken an uniform timezone, namely the servertime.
To reset the display of the today-online-member-names at 0:00 hours of his time zone the display of the today-member-names has to be called up separately at his timezone.

I have a solution for this problem in my head, but momentarely i don't have the time to realize this. therefore it needs much more time to release the new version of this hack, that includes a fix for this problem. to this point the present hack works only 100%, when each member is in the same timezone as the server.

Jawelin · #87 01-29-2002, 08:23 AM

Yeah. Infact yesterday I applied the hack and found about 270 users from the midnight with all your corrections.
Today I have 0 (zero!) users, according to the same hack...

Actually I think the traslation you made to $unixtoday var had the wrong sign ... :?:

I though to a simpler solution, I guess.
Simply, replace in the ORIGINAL HACK CODE:

PHP Code:


			
mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d"),date("Y"));

with:

PHP Code:


			
mktime($timeoffset-$bbuserinfo['timezoneoffset'],0,0,date("m"),date("d"),date("Y"));

This should traslate the server's midnight time towards the user one.

What do you thin about ?

[...]Greetz,
Mystics

Excuse me. I don't understand how this hack make the difference between storing into db the maxusers of the original VB index.php and the maxusers for the entire day.
It seems these two numbers are stored in the same field of the same table, and the second overwrites the first one.

Mystics, please, could you explain better those steps:

PHP Code:


			
  if ((int)$maxusers[0] <= $totalonline) {

    $time = time();

    $maxloggedin = "$totalonline " . $time . " " . $maxusers[2] . " " . $maxusers[3];

    $DB_site->query("UPDATE template SET template='$maxloggedin' WHERE title='maxloggedin'");

    $maxusers[0] = $totalonline;

    $maxusers[1] = $time;

  }



  [...]

  [...]

  [...]

  

  if ((int)$maxusers[2] <= $numbertodayonline) {

    $time = time();

    $maxloggedin = $maxusers[0] . " " . $maxusers[1] . " $numbertodayonline " . $time;

    $DB_site->query("UPDATE template SET template='$maxloggedin' WHERE title='maxloggedin'");

    $maxusers[2] = $numbertodayonline;

    $maxusers[3] = $time;

  }

Thanks a lot.
Bye

The records are stored in the Template maxloggedin

Before the hack: only the number and the Time of the "Most users ever online at the same time" was stored in this Template.

Therefore the content looked like:

Code:

21 1010710015

21 = $maxusers[0] = $totalonline = Number of the "Most users ever online at the same time"
1010710015 = $maxusers[1] = $time = Unix-Time of the moment when the record was reached

After the Hack: First the number and the Time of the "Most users ever online at the same time" and then the number and the Time of the "Most users ever online on a day" is stored in this Template.

Therefore the content look like:

Code:

21 1010710015 84 1010530336

84 = $maxusers[2] = $numbertodayonline = Number of the "Most users ever online on a day"
1010530336 = $maxusers[3] = $time = Unix-Time of the moment when the record was reached

Jawelin · #90 01-29-2002, 02:00 PM

Thanks a lot for such an exaustive answer.
I asked because, after having installed the hack for two days, I always got 0 as the maximum value and today as the date.
But I think it was due to the timezone problem.
About that, what do you think about my simple workaround of your hack code (3 posts above here) ?

This should traslate the server's midnight time towards the user one.

On our forums we use the colored users online hack which colorizes members by usergroups. When we added the "Who-was-Online-Today" we noticed that it showed up in "black" (our link color). Well we wanted one that matched the colors shown in the CUO hack and so my co-admin hacked the hack. Enjoy.

Remember to modify $mod["$userid"] or $todayuser['usergroupid'] == # to reflect your usergroup colors & ids.
