Members who have visited today (with last 24 hours option).

This modification is no longer available or supported.

A very simple display of all members who have visited the forum 'today' (i.e. since midnight). I looked at the existing hacks that apparently do this, and they either seemed over complicated or had a lot of problems, so I wrote my own simple version.


The main features of Version 2.xx are ;

1. It displays the list on Forum Home under the "Users online" display.

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.


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.


Addons:
ericgtr has created a CMPS module for this hack, you will find the files here.
paul41598 has created a pop-up display instead of the collapsable display, you will find the files here.

Thanks.

Do i have to change the value "$cutoff = $now - 86400 " if my forum's default time is GMT+1 ? Because at midnight, the number of users who have visited the forum doesn't init.

Great hacks anyway thanks :-)

That piece of code will give a rolling count for the previous 24 hours and is commented out (unless you have removed the "//"). It is only there as a backup because the vbdate function was not working on some systems - allthough some people are using it by default because this is what they want to do.

Thanks for this explanation. I'm using Vb 3.04 and i was forced to remove the // before the code ; Otherwise all users were listed. So, if i well understand, now this hacks is "Who connected last 24 hours"

Yep, that is how yours will be working.

Thanks Paul works well, I've used some other versions but this is the easiest to see. I like the time "alt"

hi Paul great mod,

I have had it running perfect up to last night - I did the 3.0.5 upgrade and it doesn't show who's been on line today, just a blank box no entries

I'm new to v-bulletin - do you have any ideas what might need to be changed to get it working again

thanks in advance

Have you re-done the files changes after you upgraded ?

btw - you are not showing as having installed this - please click install.

Sorry Paul - I must have forgot to click 'Install'

I checked the new 'index.php' file and it didn't seem to have the

line
// ### LOGGED IN USERS #########################################

This is where I got stuck - it had that line in my 3.0.3 version index.php but doesn't seem to have it in the new 3.0.5 version

the code for the forum home template is in and shows the box for the users who visited today

but as I don't know where to mod the index.php file as it doesn't have the 'LOGGED IN USERS line

hope this clarifies it a bit

Cheers

Well my index.php (3.0.5) has it, at line 274. - Just do a text search for "LOGGED IN".

I just installed this mod with vb 3.0.5 and it works great. I made some changes and I am posting what I did if you want to have an option that does not require altering the index.php.

1 : create a php file called whos.online.today.php with the following and upload to the root of the forum. :

PHP Code:

<?php
// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');

$now = TIMENOW ;
require_once('./includes/functions_misc.php');
$cutoff = vbmktime(0, 0, 0, vbdate('m', $now. false, false), vbdate('d', $now. false, false), vbdate('Y', $now. false, false));
//$cutoff = $now - 86400 ;  // Uncomment this line if you don't have vB 3.0.3 and all users are showing.
$todaysusers = $DB_site->query("SELECT userid, lastactivity, options, username, opentag, closetag
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user as user
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup as usergroup ON(user.usergroupid = usergroup.usergroupid)
WHERE lastactivity > " .$cutoff. " ORDER BY username" ); 

$totaltoday = 0;
while ($today = $DB_site->fetch_array($todaysusers))
{
    $today[visible] = 1 ;
    $totaltoday += 1;
    if ($today[options] & $_USEROPTIONS[invisible]) 
    {
        $today[visible] = 0 ;
        if (($permissions['genericpermissions'] & CANSEEHIDDEN) OR $today['userid'] == $bbuserinfo['userid'])
        {
            $today[visible] = 2 ;
        }
    }
    if ($today[visible]) 
    {
           $wrdate = vbdate($vboptions['timeformat'], $today['lastactivity']);
        $whotoday .= "<a href='member.php?u=$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);
}

?>

2: Go to the style manager. Open the style you want to edit.
In the common template section goto the phpinclude_start box and enter :

ob_start(); 
include('whos.online.today.php');
ob_end_clean();

3: Follow your instructions for replacing the code in the Forumhome template.

Done.

Works like a charm for me. Thanks for your work. I hope I don't offend you by posting what I did.

I would like to know since I dont play in vB a lot whether anything I did would open a security hole.
