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 easiest way would be to edit the sql in the "Members who have visited (2)" plugin.

Change

PHP Code:

WHERE lastactivity > " .$cutoff. " ORDER BY username 


to

PHP Code:

WHERE user.usergroupid <> 8 AND lastactivity > " .$cutoff. " ORDER BY username 


Assuming that group 8 is your banned group.

That worked perfectly. Thank you!

First off, great hack Paul. I've always loved this, ever since it was released for 3.0.x. This is however, the first time I've ever had a problem with it. It was working fine a few days ago, when I installed it, but now, for whatever reason, it's not showing up on my forumhome. I've tried reinstalling the plugin and have checked my settings for it; everything should be working -- but it's not. I did recently install the Plugin Acc., Template Cache, and Template Comp. hacks... could they have had some kind of adverse effect on it?

[Paul M]

I have no idea, since I don't use any of them, but it sounds very much like thay have broken something. Turn them off and see what happens.

[Kirk Y]

I disabled all of them through the Product Manager, but still nothing. Should I try manually removing all the edits? There were a few code modifications needed in admincp/global.php, global.php, and admincp/template.php.

Edit: I'm not sure what I did, I just logged out and then back in... and it was there again. I dunno, perhaps my board is possessed. Thanks for your help though Paul.

[EasyTarget]

hey paul, nice hack.

Is there a way it could be modified to do the same thing but for a subforum? So it'll show who's visited the one subforum in 24 hours (as well as keep the one on forumhome).

[Paul M]

No, vb does not keep any record of such things.

[EasyTarget]

well there's the currently viewing subforum option in vboptions (I have it disabled because I don't want it running in every forum, just in one), so wouldn't there be a way to track it from those users?

[BamaStangGuy]

Just curious but if I remove the guest usergroup from being able to see it is the code still being ran for it or does it not run the code at all? What I am wondering is if I make it so that guests do not see it is it still going to reduce the load on the server?

[Paul M]

It only runs the code for allowed groups - however, the difference in load would be small.
