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).

the permissions check has been done allready by the product!

KirbyDE has a good point here!
What will happen if someone access direct the page !
Why do all the processing before checking the permissions ?
So i have updated the instructions! Thanx KirbyDe!

But you are still doing checks at the end for the display if it shows or not. The queries are still being run for that before you check, right?

The last check is for checking if the product is enabled or not , if paul do the same modification to the product code no querries will be executed!

But the queries have already run before you check if the product has been enabled, or am I missing something?

Hi,

Has this been released for 3.5.0, it's something I'm very interested in.

[Bones_3DFC]

@Joe - officially? I dunno. But I purchased my vBulletin last week and instantly installed this. It works like a charm. Visit my site and add /forum to the address to see it in action.

Well, considering it says vB Version: 3.5.0 in the information up top there I'd have to say yes.

And yes, it's working perfectly on my 3.5.0 board.

Now, if it turns out that display is disabled or the user ist not allowed to view, you've already done the query and processing ...

Ah, I see what you mean. Well spotted. That's what happens when you add new things at 2am in the morning. It's not a major thing as most people will leave it open to all members anyway. I'll re-arrange it slightly for the next update.
