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).

Turn off the ability for members to see invisible users, that's standard vb functionality.

I am not that dumb. Invisible members are indeed invisible in the Who is Currenty Online list but the who visited in the past X hours ignores that.

As yet you still haven't clicked install.

As the notes say;

3. Invisible users are only displayed to those allowed to see them (with a "*")

This is just the same as all other areas of vbulletin (including the WOL and Active Users List).

BTW, this is not the 'who visited in the past X hours' hack, there is another one by that name.

Just a suggestion but you may want to add rel=\"nofollow\" to the urls

Which urls ? and why, what does that do exactly ?

It makes the search engines not follow the links and not count it as a linkout.. basically makes the link non existent on the page in the eyes of a search engines so that your "pagerank" goes to your other links. Plus people with 200-300 members coming to their site a day dont want 200-300 active links to their member pages which will cause Spiders to spend their time visiting these links instead of spidering other more important parts of the forum.

Plus vBulletin by default adds relnofollow to the whos online section

PHP Code:


        if ($today['visible']) 
        {
            $wrdate = vbdate($vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $today['lastactivity']);
            $whotoday .= "<a rel="nofollow" href='member.php?u=$today[userid]' title='$wrdate' >";
            if ($today['visible'] == 2) 
            {
                $whotoday .= $today['opentag'].$today['username'].$today['closetag']."</a>*, ";
            }
            else 
            {
                $whotoday .= $today['opentag'].$today['username'].$today['closetag']."</a>, ";
            }
        }
    }
    if ($whotoday)
    {
        $whotoday = substr($whotoday, 0, strlen($whotoday)-2);
    }
    else
    {
        $whotoday = $vbphrase['no_visitors'];
    }
    $search_text = '<!-- end logged-in users -->';
    $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = str_replace($search_text,
    $search_text.fetch_template('Display_Visitors'),$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME']);
} 


That is where I added the rel=nofollow

[Paul M]

I see.

In that case, thank you for the suggestion. I'll add it to the next update.
