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).

I must be doing something stupid. It installed great, but I don't see a thing on forum home??? Anybody got any ideas?

[Paul M]

What is the url of your site ?

[scoles15]

<a href="http://www.ncwoodworker.net" target="_blank">http://www.ncwoodworker.net</a>

You need to have the logged in users display turned on in order for this to display as well. You are actually the first person I have ever seen with this turned off.

[scoles15]

Thanks. The reason I had it turned off was becuase I have the same display using VBA CMPS and this seemed like an unecessary duplication. In fact I think I would like to try mod your mod so I can make it a CMPS module.

Good news then. There's already a CMPS module that actually make use of *this* plugin.

[Paul M]

Cool, would you like that linked in the main post ?

[tgmorris]

Sure thing. Thanks.

Quick question: Where do I go to edit out the collapse option, and the markup for the number of users online?

Eg:

Total users that have visited today: 215

The red (er, green?) text there. I've checked the templates, I'm just not seeing it.

Thanks.
