Description:
This Hack adds something like the "Currently Active Users:"-Feature of vBulletin.
The difference is, instead of showing the users, who are currently online, it shows
all Users, who were online on a day and it also displays "Most users ever online on a day".

Summary of the Features:

• Shows "Number of Active Users Today"
• Shows "Most users ever online on a day"
• Shows last online time for each User while pointing the Mouse Cursor on it's name (=mouseover) in the list

Important: The Hack only works 100% correct, when each member is in the same time zone as the Server!

Files to edit: index.php
Templates to edit: forumhome
New Templates: forumhome_todayloggedinusers, forumhome_todayloggedinuser

I have attached the Install Instructions in a Text File.
The Instruction is in English and in German.

I will attach a Screenshot in a Reply to this Thread!

Post any Questions into this Thread!

Updates in 1.0.1: Inserted the two new templates into the template precaching (first step)

Updates in 1.0.2: Fixed a little Bug with the "Most users ever online on a day"-Count
(Replace '$maxusers[2] = $todayonline;' with '$maxusers[2] = $numbertodayonline;' in index.php)

Info: You can find an other version of this Hack here. In this other version the usernames of the members, who were already online today, are not shown on the Forum-Mainpage; the names are shown in an extra File (like online.php), onlinetoday.php (Screenshot).

So, depending on which version of the Hack you prefer, you have to download this:
Version with usernames on the main Site of the Forum

or this:
Version with usernames on extra site (onlinetoday.php)

I found out it's the TimeZone problem, but none of those fixes posted worked for me. :/

At least it is working for you. I can't even get anything to appear.

Hi. I installed this hack and like it very much except for one thing....

It over-wrote the "most users ever online in a day" thing and is updating it every day now with the current count. I really liked that. Did I do something wrong? How can I resurrect that?

@mbcguru
I don't think this is a problem of this hack, because it works perfect for me and hundred others.

There are probleme together with vBIndex....and maybe with vBPortal (which you use) too.

Ah. Could be. Can you suggest where I might look in the files and stuff to fix it?

[Mystics]

Maybe something like that:

UPDATE template SET template='xxx' WHERE title="maxloggedin"

But I really don't know vBPortal.

Works with 2.2.7. Good work.

I have same issue since day 1, resets back to 0 (zero) every day as opposed to storing and showing "most ever". I'm also using VBPortal, but dont understand how that would effect the hack. If it is interfering with the hack, there's no instructions on how to handle or fix.

Portal doesn't use the same params/variables as in the hack, unless I'm missing something. The forum index.php page generated is separate from the main portal page.
