Members who have visited the forum (Today or 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 midnight) or in the last 24 hours. Please note that it is not possible for this hack to count guests.

The main features of Version 4.xx 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 should 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 hack is now phrased.
8. The ability to turn it on/off is in the ACP Forum Home Options.
9. The ability to allow only certain usergroups to view the list is an ACP option (vBulletin Options > Who has visited today).
10. The switch between Visited Today and Rolling 24 Hours is an ACP option (many seem to miss this actually exists).
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.

Unzip the XML and import into vB using the ACP Product Manager.

To upgrade from version 4.10 onwards, you need to re-import the product with the overwrite option set to yes. To upgrade from version 4.01/4.02 to version 4.10 onwards, you need to uninstall the product and remove the template code in FORUMHOME - then upload the new product. To upgrade from version 3.xx to version 4.xx you need to delete the existing plugin and remove the template code in FORUMHOME - then upload the new product.

* Add-ons etc *

* An add-on to display a 'Most ever posters' count is available here.

* If you want the WVT display on a seperate page - see this post by EvilHawk - now updated to version 4.21.

* There is also a CMPS module that makes use of this plugin (by tgmorris).

Thank you for your comments.

Since the final release of 3.5 Gold I have been working on updating most of my hacks (largely to convert them to products).

I will be updating this hack from a 'Plugin' to a 'Product' very shortly which will mean ;

* The hack will become phrased.
* The ability to turn it on/off in the ACP.
* The ability to allow only certain usergroups to view the list will be an ACP option.
* The switch between Visited Today and Rolling 24 Hours will become an ACP option (many seem to miss this actually exists).

If you are happy with it working as is - then obviously there will be no requirement to upgrade - I will still support the old version (though I will strongly urge you to upgrade in most cases). If you wish to upgrade then you will need to delete the existing plugin, upload the new product, and replace the template code with the new version.

The product version is now uploaded. Please report any problems in this thread.

Sorry, I don't deal in VBA modules - I would ask on their support forum.

Sorry Paul, maybe I am missing something, however, where is the menu for it in the admincp?? I cannot seem to find it.

[Paul M]

vBulletin Options > Forum Home Page Options.

Should we still run ALTER TABLE user ADD INDEX (lastactivity) for faster queries?
