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).

Spiders are guests.

The only spider tracking hacks I know are real time displays, they don't count the number of unique visitors over time.

Thanks! I have a forum that has LOTS of guests and need a way to display this. Any thoughts?

so you don't think there's a way to tie into the default viewing subforum option in the admincp in order to track users to a specific subforum?

Just to be clear here since people keep asking about can it do this/that/the other - I have no plans to make any changes to this - it does what is was designed to do - and that's it as far as I'm concerned.

Look harder, or re-install it.

I wasn't asking you if you could change it, just if you thought it would be possible to be adapted (not by you) to show users who visited a subforum. You said vb didn't keep track of that, but then vb has the option to show users currently viewing subforums, which is why I brought that up (because to me that seems to indicate vb does keep track of that in some form).

[Paul M]

Just like guests, vb does not keep a record of it, people viewing sub-forums is just a realtime display, at the point of viewing.
