As of 24 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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

There is no requirement to start editing the code, and doing so will most likely break it. Undo your changes.
If you dont have the template hook then you must manually add it. Either do a compare with the default vb template to see where it goes, or look back in this thread for the posts about it (try round about post #189).
I have not edited the code. Just copied and pasted from the download. I have done the above, but still cannot get it to work.
I still dont have the forumhome_wgo_pos2 option.
The modified FORUMHOME template now looks like this:
TBH, I dont know what you have done, or what you are doing.

Product - vBulletin
Hook Location - forumhome_start
Title - Who has visited
Execution Order - 5
What does this mean exactly if you havent been editing code ?

The template you posted has it in twice ! - a bit of a mess.
Ok
Thats what I tried first yesterday. I have just tried again:
This is what I'm doing:
User CP> Plugins and products> Manage products> Add/import products
I have unzipped the file and placed it into 'EITHER upload the XML file from your computer' section. When I click import I'm then given the 'No file uploaded and no local file found.' message.

Depends on what you mean by "placed it" into that section.
You must click on the "Browse" button next to that section, and navigate to the unzipped file, then click on Import.
If that gives the error you mention then you have a server issue uploading files, which I cannot help with.
Im now going away on holiday, so I wont see this thread again for over a week.
Go to your admincp-->Plugins & Products-->Manage Products-->[Add/Import Product]
Then use the first option "EITHER upload the XML file from your computer" and use the "Browse" button to find the xml file you downloaded. Once the file is properly selected, click on Import. Then proceed to configure the plugin and then check its operation.
