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.

The answer is already in this thread (probably multiple times). Have a read backwards or try searching the thread.

Dear all,
How can I alter the order of display?

1. Display Names
2. Most Ever Members

[Paul M]

You can't, there are no options to do either.

I think reversed display order is more logical.
Because the table title is "Members who visited in last 24h", and it should list these members first, following by 'most ever users' record "x at y"

Holy Wow That was easy.. This was my first upgrade. Thanks !!

Installed.

Help! On 3.6.8 (L1) I upload the XML and it is successful (and enabled). I do not see any options under vBulletin-Options in the Admin CP and the forum does not look any different. Any ideas?

This behavior is consistent with all mods I try and install.

Thanks for the help!

[Gigavol]

Installed.

Does the data I enter into Product Mgr need to match what's in the XML file?

And here's a crazy question: After I upload the XML file, will there be a record in the "Plugins" list/manager for the product I uploaded? vBulletin support loaded a product to establish the product mgr was working on my forum, and there was subsequently data/records in the plug-in mgr now.

Thx,

G

Okay. I got it. The trick I did not know was to complete all fields on the import screen and make sure those fields matched the data in the XML file. That made it work.
