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As of 24 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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

My "Most members online over 24 hours" seems to have resetted today ... losing the previous record.

I know why, it's because I have installed the AJAX Who's Online. Damn.

[Paul M]

Yep, that mod will break a few ME counts.

[pipibunny]

The first, I uninstall this mod
The second, I replace $template_hook[forumhome_wgo_pos2] into Forum Home
The Third, I reinstall this mod
=> It's Work.

Thank you.

For those interested, the updated module for vBadvanced 3.1 may be found here.

uh, my forums I recently reopened for some reason has received the following stats:

Most users ever online was 11, 1 Day Ago at 01:55 PM.
The most members online in one day was 12, 1 Day Ago.

Can anyone make sense or this to me - how there is one member difference?

[Paul M]

They are entirely different things, the top one is the totel members and guests online at any one time, the bottom one is the total members (only) that signed in over a day.

Is there any option to make the text: "Total members that have visited the forum in the last 24 hours: ###" to be a link that points to another page which lists all the member names instead of listing the usernames on the forum index?

Or maybe just an easy way to make that change?

It seems that there is a glitch in it somehow.

Yesterday, my new forum www.centextalk.com, seemed to max out at 120. It hit that number early in the evening, then I saw new members joining after this time, but the max didn't increase.

Does that make sense?

No, there is no such option.

Yes it does, its to do with users being in different timezones.
