Forum Home Enhancements - Members who have visited today.

As of 24 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

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.

The main features of the 3.8 version are as follows ;

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 ability to turn it on/off is in the ACP Options.
8. The ability to allow only certain usergroups to view the list is an ACP option (include or exclude groups).
9. An option to record and display the Most Ever Members can be enabled.
10. The switch between Visited Today and Rolling 24 Hours is an ACP option.
11. The listing of members can be suppressed (a simple message is displayed instead).
12. The list of names can be set to be always collapsed on initial view.

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

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

Nothing can reset it to a specific figure. If it has reset once then it will increase again each time you beat the previous total. If it is constantly resetting then you have some code somewhere that is not compatible with 3.8.

Single resets are rare, but can happen if the datastore got corrupted, it has happened here once (a few months ago).

It hasn't updated with the new "Higher" totals Paul.

Any idea how/what I can do to sort thiss out Please?

Like you say - It is probably a code compatibility problem somewhere.

Hi Paul,

I'm having an issue here which, has cropped up for the first time since the clocks went forward here in England.

The stats showing how many users visited my forum today is only correct when logged in but when logged out it's subtracting the overall stat tally by 2. I only noticed this issue today and it's the same issue for your other hack "Memebrs who have posted today".

I've identified the users which, are not being recorded but can't work out any reason why they shouldn't be. 2 of them are new users if that helps.

Any ideas?

I would imagine your default timezone (used by guests) is wrong, check your forum time when logged out.

What settings would I need to check?

Date and Time Options?

I'm having a problem where a user can see the Top 5 Stats box but each table just has "Loading..." in it. He's tried with Firefox and Safari and has refresh every which way he can but still gets the error. I've had no trouble using any of those browsers but have encountered some trouble with Google Chrome. Is there anything really obvious that could be causing this?

How do you get it to show how many guests? (for exmaple, it will say 300 people visited today. 200 members 100 guests. and it will list the members, not guests)

Sorry, but not sure what this has to do with this modification
