Forum Home Enhancements - Members who have visited Today (or in the last 24 hours).

This modification is no longer available or supported.

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 - however, see this thread to track guests.

The main features of the 3.6 version are basically the same as previous versions ;

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 mod is phrased.
8. The ability to turn it on/off is in the ACP Options.
9. The ability to allow only certain usergroups to view the list is an ACP option (include or exclude groups).
10. The switch between Visited Today and Rolling 24 Hours is an ACP option.
11. The listing of members can now be suppressed (a simple message is displayed instead).
12. The list of names can be set to be always collapsed on initial view.
13. The option to record and display the Most Ever visitors has been added (v4.43+).

(Options are in vBulletin Options > Who has visited today)

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

To upgrade from the 3.5 version just re-import the product with the overwrite option set to yes.


EvilHawk has also updated his WVT on a seperate page, see this post.

question paul on your image from your other mods its like this in the pic Total members that have visited today:2 on the top table now on mine it just shows Total members that have visited today: with out the number is there anyway to get it to show the number of members?

for example on the guest on it would say this on the top table

Total guests that have visited the forum in the last 24 hours: 522

but on this one it just shows

Total members that have visited today:

Update: if you set it to yes on Rolling 24 Hours Option it shows the number but if you set it to no reset the count at each members midnight it wont show the number hmm.

This template hasn't any changes so I can't revert it. Any siggestions?

[Paul M]

Uninstall it, then make sure you have no rogue copies of the template, then install it again. If the correct templates are in use then I'm not sure why you cannot have a number displayed.

[DementedMindz]

I have already tried that to make sure like I said it will display one way and not the other way so Its something with the code im going to look at it in the morning.

[Paul M]

In your case it sounds like you have customised the "visited_today" phrase, when you switch mode you switch phrase as well.

Actually, the phrase being customised could be your problem as well Goodspeed.

[DementedMindz]

that was it thank you paul.

[Goodspeed]

Paul, yes, the problem was in phrase. Thank you for your help!

[Paul M]

v4.40 - fixed the table index issues, the index was not being created on install, if you already had the index from earlier versions, it wasn't being used. On larger forums this will speed up the query this runs.

[Magle]

Great, thanks. I see a speed up in regard to the average generation times on my front page. Not much of course, but enough that it should make a difference when under heavy load.

[MJMoore]

I've just upgraded, and it's now showing..

Total members that have visited the forum in the last 24 hours: %1$s 40

I tried uninstalling, then reinstalling, but it's still there.

Can anyone help?
