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).

Not really. The server time is 6 hours off of my timezone. So knowing if it is set to server midnight or usertime midnight is a relevant question.

shouldn't the 24 hour roll variable be TIMENOW rather than $now which is what you have? I installed this and it shows all users registered rather than from past 24 hours. Changing this to TIMENOW yields the correct result.

Indeed it should have been - $now was correct before the last update of the code, when the $now variable was removed - but I forgot to change that 24hr line - it was actually fixed and uploaded yesterday morning - but obviously you wouldn't know this - so thanks for noticing and pointing it out.

I uncommented the 24 hour roll-over code and it isn't rolling over now like it should. I have 2 vistors from yesterday still showing up and online today.

I am assuming you have read the previous post and have the correct version, not the one using $now.

Other than that I don't understand what your problem is. You are bound to see visitors from yesterday since it goes back 24 hours (so at 6pm today, you will have visitors back to 6pm yesterday).

I thought it changed at the user's midnight. I am using the latest version 3.31.

You seem to be confusing two options. It can run in one of two modes.

1. Members who visited today (i.e. from midnight) - which is the default as supplied.

2. Members who visited in the last 24 hours - which requires you to uncomment an extra line.

You appear to have uncommented the line for mode 2, but are expectiing mode 1.
