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As of 24 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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

Nope, its never been an option. The oldest 3.0 versions used to display based on the primary group, but that was fixed in April 2005. Since then all versions (3.0, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 & 4.0) have used display group.

I was positive I had it working like I described before, so I looked through my post history here and I found this post of yours, part of an exchange we had about an earlier version of this hack, back in 2008:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=1099

So it is possible, apparently! I just tried that same edit and it worked (although I kept the variable $ugroup, not the $group it was then). :P

[Paul M]

Well yes, obviously its possible if you edit the code. There is no built in method.

[Megareus Rex]

Ah, my bad for not being clear enough on what I meant, then.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/zionscap/public_html/forums/index.php(596) : eval()'d code on line 21

I got that at the top of my website. http://www.zionscape.com

Any idea?

[Paul M]

You have a plugin on the forumhome_complete hook that is faulty (which is not a hook used by this).
