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As of 24 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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

Template Hook

Please note that this modification uses the following template hook in the FORUMHOME template ;

forumhome_wgo_pos2

This must be present in any customised template/style you are using, otherwise this modification will not display.

Hi

I'm one of the 1000s - but would be happy to help get this resolved. Is the work to put the code back in significant? If so, I'll have a go tackling from the vBA module side...

Cheers!

I would guess that if you change the hook that Members who have visited (2) uses - to global_start - it will work for you. You will have to do that yourself tho, Im not going to change the mod.

Any chance you would be willing to provide some instructions on how to do this for us? Your mod is great and will only be even that much better when it can be made to work with VBA again.

Thanks!

Just edit the hook in the ACP product/plugins inteface.

VBA Module Fix Instructions:
Once again PaulM comes through for us!!! THANK YOU! Such and easy fix that did the trick!

Here are simple instructions to get the VBA mod to work with this current version of Paul's mod:

1. From your AdminCP go to: Plugins & Products > Plugin Manager
2. Edit the plugin labeled: Members who have visited (2)
3. Change the Hook Location to: global_start in the drop menu.
4. Save and done! Your vba block will now work!

You can find the vba module for "Recent Visitors" here: [Module] Members who have visited the forum

Should there be a specific code in the ForumHOME or Footer templates?

Any help would be much appreciated.

[Paul M]

Yes, you must have the default template hooks in your forumhome template.

Got it working thanks.

One thing I've noticed in the past.

It will count two days combined when determining the 'most users ever online'. Usually on Tuesday-Wednesday.

On Wednesday when I look at the forum, I'll see it says most uesrs ever online 90 today. But then count, and only see like 70 users there. It's counting users from yesterday.

Does anybody else get this issue?
