Forum Home Enhancements - Members who have visited today.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This modification has been withdrawn.
vBulletin 4.0.x and 4.1.x are no longer supported.

The feature is already built into the core vBulletin 4.2.x code.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This adds a simple display of all members who have visited the forum - either today (i.e. since the users midnight) or in the last 24 hours.

This modification cannot count guests, it is members only.

Note that installing this will automatically remove the "Member Tracking" modification.

The main features of the vB4 version are as follows ;

1. It displays the list on the Forum Home.
2. Invisible users are only displayed to those allowed to see them (with a "*")
3. Users who should display as coloured or bold etc will be displayed correctly (based on the display usergroup).
4. If you 'hover' over a username it will show the time they were last active.
5. The list is in member name order.
6. The ability to turn it on/off is in the ACP Options.
7. The ability to allow only certain usergroups to view the list is an ACP option (include or exclude groups).
8. An option to record and display the Most Ever Members can be enabled.
9. The switch between Visited Today and Rolling 24 Hours is an ACP option.
10. The listing of members can be suppressed (a simple message is displayed instead).
11. The list view is collapsable, so you just see the number .
12. The display can be set as always collapsed on initial page load.

(Options are in vBulletin Options > Who has visited today)

To install just download the XML and import into vB using the ACP Product Manager.

OK. Understood. But may I please ask that you improve how the information is shown?

Example: if you are looking at (say) 10am in the morning, and someone was on within the 24hr rolling window, at (say) 9pm on the previous day, the mod shows "09:00pm". Not only is this incorrect (there are no preceding 0's in the am/pm format; a preceding 0 is only for 24hr clock format) but it is also a little confusing.

Better would be "Yesterday, 9:00pm". The format is then consistent with how posts are represented in the forum threads. (And therefore doesn't require much coding work on your side since you can recycle existing code).

Yes, you can ask.

However, I can also decline. I am perfectly happy with the way it displays, as it seems are the thousands of people who have installed this over the years. I do not intend to change it.

BTW, the time display uses your own forum settings, so you have it set to display as "09:00pm".

Thanks for pointing that one out Paul. It seems that vB's default (and suggested use) of h:i A for AM/PM clock is actually wrong and should be g:i A.

To remove all ambiguity, I have now set my forum with the following time format H:i (g:i a)

Your prerogative to decline, no problem, but to validate the response by saying that thousands of people were perfectly happy with horse and cart over the years, is rather weak as a socratic argument.

On your own forum you are free to alter it as you wish, as long as you do not release it to anyone else. I will also not support any changes you make.

Great mod! Thanks, I was looking for this. Working great! Has anyone gotten this to also work in vbadvanced cmps? Or does anyone care to tell us all how to do it?

Thanks Paul, nice mod! Keep it up!

cool mod, installed.. thanks for sharing this one

Very nice mod that I used with vb3.8, and now with VB4.

But I have one issue since I've upgraded to vb4.02 : IE8 crashes all the time if "Members have visited today" enabled, unless it's in compatibility mode.

I use this tip (here) to force compatibility mode in my forum :

Add to the headinclude template :

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />

Any idea ?
