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.

thank you this is really useful

I would like to display the actual number of users in another location in my template. Can someone tell me exactly what code to insert in another spot in my template to provide the the actual number of users who have visited in the last 24 hours?

I just want to have the number appear in another location. What code should I insert?

Thank you

Thanks. If I insert $ftotaltoday into the header or footer nothing shows. If I try a test and insert it in a second time into display_visitors it shows a second time...so I know it works. But what do I need to do to get it to show in the header as placing it there by itself does not seem to work?

[Paul M]

You didn't mention header or footer - you can't do that as the code only runs on the forumhome.

I'm having some difficulty, it must be such a noob error.

I imported the XML template fine.

I went onto the 'who has visited today' option in VB options in the admin panel.

Everything in there looks fine, its all on yes etc...

But it won't show up?! I can't see it anywhere on my fourm

My site is:

Can someone please help.

Please PM me or email me at: jhakim65@hotmail.com

Thanks,
James

It's designed to appear in the standard "What Going On" area of the forumhome - you appear to have a totally customised forumhome, which has no such section.

[trickfly]

I do have a "What Going On" area on the forumhome, its at the footer of the page.

[Paul M]

Sorry, I mistook your "home" page for the forumhome page.

The problem is basically still the same - you have heavily customised the page and altered the WGO area - removing the html comment (<!-- end logged-in users -->) that this looks for.

Hi Paul,

can you add "show Friends (buddy) who has visited"?

I don't know how to say.
