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).

Lol, I had also commented out the braces

Thanks for your help. It works perfectly now

Will this work with 3.5.2? Sorry a bit new to vbulletin. Just making sure before I install this. Thanks!

Edit: Nevermind, saw this "It runs on any 3.5 forum.".. ok. Trying it out then.

[Tulsa]

Well it works fine on 3.5.3 I can attest to that and it worked fine on 3.5.0 prior to that. I didn't upgrade in between.

I am a recent phpbb convert. Man, this kind of stuff took forever in phpbb. I uploaded the xml file and didn't even have to use FTP.

Thank you VBulletin. Thank you!

This new plugin feature for vb3 is incredible.......... That was a breeze

[beatyourtruck]

INSTALLED!

Thanks...works great, just as described.

[Borgs8472]

Just posting to say thanks a lot Paul, and I appreciate the usergroup options you added in your 3.5 version, it was just what I needed, saved me having to do it myself

[clasione]

Is there anyway to hack this to make it go over 24 hours so it never resets back to zero at midnight.... Maybe a way for it to log more days to make forum look busier than it really is? entice more signups?

[atosoup]

Im having a little trouble with this hack..

It seems to be randomly deciding who can see it.. For the first day It worked fine for me and I could see when logged in or as guest but some forum users could not see it at all.. Then last night for no reason I now cannot see it when logged in, But as a guest on my forums I can see it...

Any surgestions?

[clasione]

I noticed mine says there are people online today - then when I click their name it says "last active 3 day ago"
