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.

Excellent detective work there, Paul!

maybe this is beyond intention of mod but...


Question (or maybe REQ):
Is there anyway to control time period for this (ie: make 24 hour part our choice)?

ie: I want to make it "who has visited in last 7 days"... possible?


that would be esp beneficial to smaller forums that still want to show activity on boards (people still interested if looks like people have been on within a few days+ period. 24 hrs can be tight for smaller boards.)

You could easily edit the plugin slightly yourself to do that, the displayed times (on hover) would become somewhat meaningless though.

Well if you read what I posted and then actually fixed the usergroup html on your forum it would. I can see from just browsing your forum that you have opening tags, with no closing tags.

Please actually read the last few posts instead of just posting - the problem (which is not with this mod) is explained. You could start with the post above yours, and post #620.


JFYI, Jelsoft are aware of the issue with the latest clientscript files, IE and username markup. I expect some fix will be made available, in the meantime this mod does have the option to suppress the actual names being displayed, which will stop the locking issue until such time as they do.

Of course, if you fix your markup html, that will also solve the issue

Paul, My comment simply meant I'm not a coder so you're news does not help me. It was not intended as a slam. All my templates are the stock 3.6.6 versions. I have no idea where to look for these issues and I did poke around and did not find any open tags.
