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).

Did you try refreshing the display ? if it's your first visit of the day, your last activity timestamp is updated after the hack runs.

If that doesn't work, check your timezone settings, including the server. FYI: I have a little debug plugin that checks the TZ settings, but it's at home, and I'm at work.

I know about the "first visit of the day" - I can assure you it is not that

Must be my timezone settings then - I'll fiddle about and see if I can get it to work :ermm:

Aha - Upon further investigation, turning on the DST settings in the vB Options causes this to die

does this get users on the last 24 hours or the current day?

If you prefer, then there is an option to make this hack display a rolling 24 hours - un-comment the relevant line in the code.

:P

you could make it so it shows the day

Total users that have visited today (7/4/2005): 10

Just change that part of the forumhome template to ;

PHP Code:

Total users that have visited today ($datenow) : $totaltoday

i wonder if this is getting members on the forum since midnight using my gmt settings... say my forum is at gmt -6, and my server is gmt, is the " since midnight users" being taken using gmt -6? it seems its resetting the list at my gmt midnight, but it shows alot of people that im not sure they visited after that

[Paul M]

I don't quite follow you, but for each user, it should reset at their midnight.

[Dream]

their midnight? can I change it to the forum midnight?
