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).

Sorry, but that sounds like code changes, not likely to be looked at for some time I'm afraid.

I am too busy with a few bits of paid work, my real job, and the forum I help run atm. Bug fixes and support of stuff 'as is' is likely to be the case for at least the next few weeks, and then it's xmas ......

Thanks a lot for this. An idea would be to display the average number of visitors per day.

Paul M very nice mod you have there. I installed it and running it... good work .

Running VB 3.5.1. Followed the steps below. Doesn't work. When I check 'show total number of active members' from the 'active members options' I get 'active members: 0'.

Please help, what am I doing wrong? While browsing the forums I recall you asking someone if they completed step three? But, there is no step three with the zip file that I downloaded...

I want to be able to display who has visited within the last 24 hours. Thanks!

Step 1.
Extract the XML file and import it into vBulletin as a product (using the ACP product manager).

Step 2.
Change the settings in 'vBulletin Options > Forums Home Page Options' as required.

Good for you. Surprising as it may seem, I don't actually live on this site.

Maybe you didn't read the first post, or my sig either, both ask you to click on the install link.

when you use one of my hacks, please make sure you have clicked the install link - esp if you require support.
