Forum Home Enhancements - Members who have visited Today (or in the last 24 hours).

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This adds a simple display of all members who have visited the forum - either today (i.e. since the users midnight) or in the last 24 hours.

Note: it is not possible for this hack to count guests - however, see this thread to track guests.

The main features of the 3.6 version are basically the same as previous versions ;

1. It displays the list on the Forum Home.
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 will 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.
7. The mod is phrased.
8. The ability to turn it on/off is in the ACP Options.
9. The ability to allow only certain usergroups to view the list is an ACP option (include or exclude groups).
10. The switch between Visited Today and Rolling 24 Hours is an ACP option.
11. The listing of members can now be suppressed (a simple message is displayed instead).
12. The list of names can be set to be always collapsed on initial view.
13. The option to record and display the Most Ever visitors has been added (v4.43+).

(Options are in vBulletin Options > Who has visited today)

Unzip the XML and import into vB using the ACP Product Manager.

To upgrade from the 3.5 version just re-import the product with the overwrite option set to yes.


EvilHawk has also updated his WVT on a seperate page, see this post.

Since the FORUMHOME template does not have any hooks in it you cannot seperate them without manual template edits.

I haven't seen it mentioned here and am not sure if it's a "my" system problem or a bug.

"The most members online in one day was 206, 02-11-08." I saw the 206 change from 205, and noticed total members that have visited was actually 12 less. Yes, I actually counted the display of members online today and it was 12 less

So the 206
Should 194

Any guidance would be very much appreciated

When i active this plugin, my forum homepage load times go up 0.70sec from 0.12sec . Also adding +1 query.

(I see with vbulletin debug mode)

I think, it using hard query .

It has been covered before, maybe in previous release threads. Its to do with members being in different timezones, but the max count being global. Basically members in another timezone have already reached the total of 206, you have not "caught up" yet.

Well of course it adds a query, how else do you think it works

Yeah same here, some of my members actually saw this mod in another site and practically forced me to intall this.


Thanks for the good mod Paul, been using it for a long time now.

By Installing thsi mod my member ship user count has actually increased since members see that other members are actually more active then they thought.
Can I ask for a favor.
In My Vbulletin forum when I installed it I get a split screen on top but in the portal it is all good.

How can I get the dispaly on the forum top not to have a split section an dhave it on 2 lines do you know..

I think I have a problem maybe with the tables I am guessing I installed the mod code under some kind of table prefix for it too look this bad ehh
see my clearwaterbiker.biz in the forum top what I mean

Is this compatible with vB 3.7?

[Paul M]

There is a seperate 3.7 version, just look in my profile.
