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.

Hi Paul M,

Excellent mod. I am having an issue where where it is showing different total numbers and usernames depending on whether I'm logged in or not.

As a guest I see:
Total members that have visited the forum today: 30
(all 30 usernames)

But once I login, it changes to:
Total members that have visited the forum today: 24
(only 24 usernames)

Is this a bug or incorrect behavior?

Thanks!

[Paul M]

Niether a bug or incorrect - You are simply in a different timezone to the guest default.

Ah, gotcha.. thanks for the clarification Paul! :up:

I agree. Great mod. Marked as installed. Thanks!

The auto template edit is not working for me. You mention possibly having to do manual edits to the templates but don't say what needs to be edited. How do I manually add it?

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out.
