Members who have visited today (with last 24 hours option).

This modification is no longer available or supported.

A very simple display of all members who have visited the forum 'today' (i.e. since midnight). I looked at the existing hacks that apparently do this, and they either seemed over complicated or had a lot of problems, so I wrote my own simple version.


The main features of Version 2.xx are ;

1. It displays the list on Forum Home under the "Users online" display.

2. The list view is collapsable, so you just see the number.

3. Invisible users are only displayed to those allowed to see them (with a "*")

4. Users who should display as coloured or bold etc should be displayed correctly. (based on the display usergroup)

5. If you 'hover' over a username it will show the time they were last active.

6. The list is in member name order.


If you prefer, then there is an option to make this hack display a rolling 24 hours - un-comment the relevant line in the code.


Addons:
ericgtr has created a CMPS module for this hack, you will find the files here.
paul41598 has created a pop-up display instead of the collapsable display, you will find the files here.

Where's the one that updated all the time in that it didn't reset at 12:00 AM? So it was continuous?

I've installed this, but I thought there was a slight mod so you don't see it reset and blank out at 12:00AM.

Thanks.

Uncomment the second $cutoff line (that refers to not having vB 3.0.3).

Thanks for the reply. Anyway you could explain that a little more? I have no idea what you're talking about. I have 3.0.3 as well.

Okay, there is a line in the 1.03 version that you can just uncomment, but if you installed a while ago that line won't be there;

Find the line that starts "$cutoff = " in the hack - and replace it with ;

PHP Code:

$cutoff = $now - 86400 ; 


This will make it always display visitors from the last 24 hours.

Wow! This works just great and so easy to install. I thank you Paul.

I have a question though, When I run the SQL ‘ALTER TABLE user ADD INDEX (lastactivity)”

I get the following error:

An error occurred while attempting to execute your query. The following information was returned.
error number: 1146
error desc: Table 'john_mainDB.user' doesn't exist

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Again, thanx for a terrific hack!!!

John

I just installed this a couple days ago and I have the $now-86400 in the hack already. I hadn't changed anything, and it's already there. However, at midnight, it still resets. Do you want me to change that to just $cutoff?

Um.... Can you PM me the first few lines of this hack that you actually have installed please.

I suggest you do it directly on the database via myphpadmin.
