vBulletin Forum Sideblocks - Members who have visited (Sideblock)

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This modification adds the members who have visited display to the forum sideblocks.

As per the main modification, this cannot count guests, it is members only.

Note: This is untested on vBulletin 4.0.0, but I think it should be fine.

The main features are as follows ;

1. It displays in the Forum Sideblocks (Default Display Order = 1).
2. Invisible users are only displayed to those allowed to see them (with a "*")
3. Users who should display as coloured or bold etc will be displayed correctly (based on the display usergroup).
4. If you 'hover' over a username it will show the time they were last active.
5. An option to record and display the Most Ever Members can be enabled.
6. The switch between Visited Today and Rolling 24 Hours is an ACP option.
7. The list view is collapsable, so you just see the number .
8. The display can be set as always collapsed on initial page load (however, this can have odd results as the display is cached).

(Options are in vBulletin Options > Who Has Visited Today Block)

Please note this sideblock uses the block cache system, so it will always be slightly behind realtime in its display - the cache ttl is set to 5 minutes.

To install just unzip the XML and import into vB using the ACP Product Manager.

Install it again.

If that fails then PM me admin access as Id like to know why its failing.

vBulletin 4.0.3 broke this. Update released.

Hi Paul,

I thought I'd let you know.

I have a brand new install of 4.0.3. I had two sideblocks, blog entries and tag cloud (both empty since it is a new install).

After installing product, they both disappeared.

I disabled product, then they both reappeared together with disabled product

Nice coding, btw! Thanks for doing it.

P.S. PM me if you'd like to have access.

Paul,

This may sound like a dumb question, but does/can this work for vBadvanced CMPS? I know they have a "Members Online" section, but it's somehow broken on my forum and the doofuses over there haven't given me any help to fixing it.

Looks fantastic thus far though!

Weird indeed, sounds like something to do with the vb sideblock caching.

I have no idea about CMPS, its not something I use. This mod however is purely for the vb sideblocks.

no. Looks like disabling product has no effect. Block itself must be disabled.

[Paul M]

I was talking about the initial part you mentioned.

Yes, the product is basically just an installer (same for the widget) - it doesnt control the actual display of the block. However, disabling it will have a couple of minor side effects - it will turn of the caching of the template, and and maybe the template listing in the acp, depending on other mods.

4. If you 'hover' over a username it will show the time they were last active.

Strange, I don't see the time displayed for members that are registered.
