Most ever Visitors, Posters & Chatters (Add-on)

This modification is no longer available or supported.

Warning: Do not run this vb 3.5 version on a vb 3.6 forum.

This is an add-on for the following hacks ;

FlashChat - Who is in the chat
Members who have visited the forum (Today or last 24 hours)
Members who have posted on the forum (Today or last 24 hours)

If you don't have any of these installed then this add-on will do precisely nothing. [high]Please note that you should have the latest version of the above hacks installed for this to work properly.[/high] If you do have any of these installed then this will add a "most ever" count similar to the one in the active users display.

Just download the product XML file and import using the Product Manager.


Note: Obviously it will only count from the time you install it, neither it nor I can see backwards in time.



History:

v2.02 : First Release.
v2.03 : Changed logic of IF statement.
v2.04 : Minor changes, no update necessary.

Oh my, I feel like quite the dumbass..

I thought this this displayed the most ever members online in one day, but it doesn't.. It displays the most ever members online within a "currently active users" period.

Oh well, I got there in the end.. D'oh!

I thought hacks that needed other hacks weren't allowed? :ermm:

[Paul M]

You thought wrong then. VB3 even had it's own forum for such add-ons, and each hack has an add-on field to show it is, in fact, and addition to another.

Added, thanks.

Does this only do the rolling 24 hour period? Because for both members who have posted and members online the "most" number is greater than the "today" values (though I just installed today).

I knew someone would ask this eventually.

This happens when you are running in the users/posters since midnight mode - because one or more of your users is in a different timezone (x hours ahead of you) so they have already reached 74 visitors/posters since *their* midnight - hence the total gets updated. Because you are x hours behind them, you haven't reached (caught up) to the 74 yet.

Obviously it doesn't affect the last 24 hour mode, as everyone sees the same total all the time.

Thanks for the hack Paul. Is it possible to make the total most ever visitors text to bold and change the time format to detailed, like September 11th, 2005? Thanks in advance!

[Paul M]

The text is a phrase (most_visitors) so you could add bold tags to it, the trouble is that the count value would not be bold unless you left the closing tag off the phrase, but that would then screw up the names display. The only way you could fix that is to edit the plugin code.

As for the time, it uses whatever standard format you have set for your forum, to make it different to the rest of your forum would again require the plugin to be edited.
