Members who have posted on the forum (Today or last 24 hours).

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This plugin adds a simple display of all members who have posted in the forum - either today (i.e. since midnight) or in the last 24 hours.

The main features of Version 4.xx are basically the same as previous versions ;

1. It displays the list on Forum Home.
2. The list view is collapsable, so you just see the number of posters.
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 last posted.
6. The list is in member name order.
7. If you click on a members name it will list their posts.

As well as this - Version 4 is a vB Product and adds the following ;

8. The hack is phrased.
9. The ability to turn it on/off is in the ACP Forum Home Options.
10. The ability to allow only certain usergroups to view the list is an ACP option (vBulletin Options > Forums Home Page Options).
11. The switch between Posted Today and Rolling 24 Hours is an ACP option (many seem to miss this actually exists).

Unzip the XML and import into vB using the ACP Product Manager.

To upgrade from version 4.10 onwards, you need to re-import the product with the overwrite option set to yes. To upgrade from version 4.02 to version 4.10 onwards, you need to uninstall the product and remove the template code in FORUMHOME - then upload the new product. To upgrade from version 3.xx to version 4.xx you need to delete the existing plugin and remove the template code in FORUMHOME - then upload the new product.

* An add-on to display a 'Most ever posters' count is available here.

v4.10 : Removed the need to edit the FORUMHOME template.

If you are happy with it working as is - then obviously there is no requirement to upgrade - I will still support the old version (though I will strongly urge you to upgrade in most cases). If you wish to upgrade then you will need to delete the existing plugin, upload the new product, and replace the template code with the new version.

Thanks, Paul.

thanks.

love the plugin but one thing... if you run this through the w3 validator you get one error...

here is code

<td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/whos_online.gif" border="0" /></td>

here is the only change...

<td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/whos_online.gif" alt="" border="0" /></td>

not trying to be picky or nothing just figured the one code makes it show no errors...

The update worked great, thanks a lot Paul!

Installed. Thanks

P.S Do you think it would be possible to put a "most ever users that posted in 24 hours" or a "most ever users who visted in 24 hours" the same as the "most ever users online" is? Just a thought but no biggie

Assuming I understand this correctly, see the main post, near the bottom, it links to an add-on for this.

[funinthesun]

Oh sorry, I've just realised how that sounded. D'oh! What I meant was in the box 'currently active users' it says "most users ever online was..." and I was wondering if you could somehow put similar text for the "total members that have visted the forum" so that in the box it would say 'most ever users that visited the forum in 24 hours were...' I hope that makes more sense!? It really isn't a big deal.

[Paul M]

Sorry, I'm not following at all.

This is a members who have posted hack, there is a seperate members who have visited hack.

Nice hack. Thanks.
