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.

If you'd simply asked this then I could have answered you. I believe its $ftotaltoday.

Hi Paul... it's definitely possible, although I'm not sure how. Not sure when you'll see this, but if you go to our forum right now... http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/ you will see that <^..^>Smokey Joe is listed first in the Total members that have visited the forum in the last 24 hours: section. Just click on his username and you'll see that it takes you to the member Smokey Joe without the <^..^>. If there is nothing you can do about it, we can live with it, but on our forum it is a bug. You might try registering two similar users on a forum of yours with this plugin installed and see if it does still does it.

Thanks!

You don't appear to have this enabled for guests ...........

Anyway, I can see what your problem is - you are using VBSEO to rewrite the urls and it's failing to convert them properly, it's stripping the <^..^>. from the name so the link for <^..^>Smokey Joe is being converted to /members/Smokey-Joe.html. You need to contact vbseo about the problem - you can workaround it by changing your vbseo settings to use /members/[user_id].html rather than /members/[user_name].html

[ShackMaster]

Yeah... this is a benefit of membership.

I see what you are saying about the rewrite... I didn't catch that, and surely it can be fixed.

Well you would need to ask vbseo about that, since their code is encrypted there is nothing I can do (allthough I have posted them a link to this thread).

I have a question and maybe you answered it in this thread but it's 48 pages deep and my eyes started to hurt but I'm trying to have it set up to where you can see the people who have posted today and the people who have posted or viewed in the last 24 hours. There's the options for the "rolling 24 hour option" and "auto template changes: who visited today." For some reason I can't seem to have both on the page at the same time; it's either the today's visitors or the 24 hour option. I've seen this on other boards but I don't know how to set it up. Is this 2 different hacks or am I setting it up wrong?

This mod is "who has visited", if you also want to display who has posted then that is a seperate mod.
