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As of 24 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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.

Template Hook

Please note that this modification uses the following template hook in the FORUMHOME template ;

This must be present in any customised template/style you are using, otherwise this modification will not display.

I didn't think it would, but thank you for the confirmation. Makes it a little less stressful to make the changes.

I am running 3.8.4 Patch Level one, but I installed the Mod last night and was already updated to P1.

Only problem I have is the mouseover function doesn't work, supposed to show the time visited when hovering over the username, but mine displays the membergroup (Administrator, Mod, member etc)

Not sure what is going on there???

[Paul M]

Thats because you have set that in your usergroup markup html - it overrides the mod.

Hi,
I'm new to forums, and I need more instructions on how to install. Where is ACP Product Manager?
I cant seem to find it. Im runnig version 3.8.3

Thanks in advance

[Paul M]

ACP = Admin Control Panel.

[oldlock]

Wrong place - disregard

[oxygenthief]

I can't see a Product Manager in my ACP. Could it be called something else?

[Paul M]

I think its called something like "Plugins & Products"

[oxygenthief]

Thank Paul.

I have hit another problem:

I don't have a hook template called, forumhome_wgo_pos2

I have a few starting with forumhome but non that match the above.

Can anyone tell me what to do next?

Cheers

[oxygenthief]

ok had a look through the code and had a try at entering it. I have the settings as:
Product - vBulletin
Hook Location - forumhome_start
Title - Who has visited
Execution Order - 5

It saves but does not work on the forum. No errors or anything just does not appear.
Anyone know what I have done wrong?

Thanks
