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.

Hi Paul,

I have a question and hope you can help me

It's possible to display the information of members who has visited today only for certain usergroups? I want to have this enabled for my moderators and not for the users because my forum home page has a lot of subforums and a list of the members who has visited today (in my case, more than 60) just increases the scroll bar so it generates to new users the idea of that forum is loaded of subforums and I think it isn't a good at all.

If possible, in which part of the code may I add the conditional to only display it for some usergroups?

Thank you very much for your time... and your patience

Take care!

Jonathan.

You would need to modify the SQL in plugin No.2 - adding a check for usergroupid.

SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."user FORCE INDEX (lastactivity)
WHERE lastactivity > $cutoff AND usergroupid IN (5,6,7) ORDER BY username

Thank you very much Paul!

Great hack

Users are sorted alphabetically, will turning this off (removing the ORDER BY statement) improve performance as it is possible with the stock-vb settings?

[Paul M]

Im sure it would in theory, Id defy anyone to notice the difference other than by scanning the SQL statistics (unless maybe you had thousands of visitors per day).
