Forum Home Enhancements - Members who have visited Today (or in the 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 the users midnight) or in the last 24 hours.

Note: it is not possible for this hack to count guests - however, see this thread to track guests.

The main features of the 3.6 version 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 will 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 mod is phrased.
8. The ability to turn it on/off is in the ACP Options.
9. The ability to allow only certain usergroups to view the list is an ACP option (include or exclude groups).
10. The switch between Visited Today and Rolling 24 Hours is an ACP option.
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.
13. The option to record and display the Most Ever visitors has been added (v4.43+).

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

Unzip the XML and import into vB using the ACP Product Manager.

To upgrade from the 3.5 version just re-import the product with the overwrite option set to yes.


EvilHawk has also updated his WVT on a seperate page, see this post.

Most humble appologies, now corrected. FWIW I still showed 4.21 installed on 3.5.5, so I uninstalled it there.

That seems to be kind of global or I'm missing the point entirely. I was hoping there might be a template edit or possibly a file edit to get rid of the underlined links in the Who Visited box only.

Which template does this use?

It doesn't use a template to build that, it's coded in the plugin itself.

PHP Code:

$whotoday .= "<a rel=\"nofollow\" "; 


Edit the above line.

installed, all work fine, thank you

[bigsbydapicka]

Thank you very much.

I'm not sure what I've done but...

Most users ever online was 1, 12-31-1969 at 06:00 PM.
The most members online in one day was 1, 12-31-1969.

This happened after I upgraded the product from 4.21 to 4.31 this evening. Any ideas where to look?

[Paul M]

Those are not part of this mod, I think you have the most visitors/posters/chatters add-on installed.

[warnmar10]

Thanks and you are correct.

So, I uninstalled who is in flashchat, updated both 'Members who have visited Today' and 'Visitors/Posters/Chatters'. The counters are still stuck at 12/31/69 and 1.

Any suggestions?

I suspect I know the answer already, but would it be possible for the permissions settings to be able to override the Global WOL switch-off for Guests? It seems to me that this mod would be a great activity advert. Unfortunately you can't turn on WVT and leave WOL off.

Make sure you have the 3.6 version of the add-on installed, then run this query.

update datastore set unserialize = 1 where title = 'maxloggedin'

See if that fixes the stats, if not then run this to reset them completely.

update datastore set unserialize = 1,data = ' ' where title = 'maxloggedin'

Not sure I entirely follow you - but this mods display relies on the "What's going on" (Display Logged in Users) being active, not the Who's Online page. If you disable that then this will not be shown. There is no way round that without a template edit.
