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As of 24 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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

I'm pretty certain ive not had this many people on in 1 day and why has it taken so long to update if i had. I have just installed the latest version, thx..

Hi Andie,

I peaked at 223 at the end of August which was far more than my usual 50ish. I made an overdue upgrade to 3.8.6 and numbers went down to normal. Most were coming from China... What version are you running?

Hi, i'm using 3.8.5 at the moment, perhaps 3.8.6 would sort my little prob out.

How to post this mod in forumdisplay?
Anyone any idea? Which file and code do I need to put in forumdisplay?

I've copy and paste below to forumdisplay template, but nothing display, what else do I need to put in forumdisplay tmpl?

$template_hook[forumhome_wgo_pos2]

How would I set this so it displays the primary usergroup HTML markup in the "who visited today" box, and not the chosen display group's markup?

[Paul M]

You cant, it uses the standard vb function to display the user.

Did it work differently in previous versions? I was using the 3.6 version for a long time, and I know I had it set so it used the primary display group instead of the chosen group display.
