Members who have visited the forum (Today or 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 midnight) or in the last 24 hours. Please note that it is not possible for this hack to count guests.

The main features of Version 4.xx 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 should 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 hack is now phrased.
8. The ability to turn it on/off is in the ACP Forum Home Options.
9. The ability to allow only certain usergroups to view the list is an ACP option (vBulletin Options > Who has visited today).
10. The switch between Visited Today and Rolling 24 Hours is an ACP option (many seem to miss this actually exists).
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.

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 4.01/4.02 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.

* Add-ons etc *

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

* If you want the WVT display on a seperate page - see this post by EvilHawk - now updated to version 4.21.

* There is also a CMPS module that makes use of this plugin (by tgmorris).

The display is actually calculated before your own activity is updated, so if you logged directly into the homepage, you would actually need to refresh the page before you saw yourself listed.

Indeed - I expected it to show me as a user who visited today, but then realised that it had already calculated it, then i refreshed and I appeared

I'll take a proper look tomorrow at the timezone stuff and see which is the best method.

I have a problem with the time on this, it seems to reset its midnight time at 9 pm forum time, other than that everything is and works great.

What timezone do you have set in your profile ?

Edit: Actually, try the version I have just uploaded (v3.20) - it uses a slightly different TZ calculation.

Hmm. I'm getting a blank table as well.

Can you be more specific, or provide a working link to your site. Also, have you turned the plugin system on (in vb options) ?

[Roxie]

I'm sorry. I did all the steps in the install. The plugin is active and the system is on. It shows on the bottom of the page, however, the lists does not show any names.

Okay, perhaps I should have been clearer, a blank table does not tell me what I need to know - the bit that says "Total members that have visited today: 2" - what number does it show at the end, after the colon ?
