Description:
This Hack adds something like the "Currently Active Users:"-Feature of vBulletin.
The difference is, instead of showing the users, who are currently online, it shows
all Users, who were online on a day and it also displays "Most users ever online on a day".

Summary of the Features:

• Shows "Number of Active Users Today"
• Shows "Most users ever online on a day"
• Shows last online time for each User while pointing the Mouse Cursor on it's name (=mouseover) in the list

Important: The Hack only works 100% correct, when each member is in the same time zone as the Server!

Files to edit: index.php
Templates to edit: forumhome
New Templates: forumhome_todayloggedinusers, forumhome_todayloggedinuser

I have attached the Install Instructions in a Text File.
The Instruction is in English and in German.

I will attach a Screenshot in a Reply to this Thread!

Post any Questions into this Thread!

Updates in 1.0.1: Inserted the two new templates into the template precaching (first step)

Updates in 1.0.2: Fixed a little Bug with the "Most users ever online on a day"-Count
(Replace '$maxusers[2] = $todayonline;' with '$maxusers[2] = $numbertodayonline;' in index.php)

Info: You can find an other version of this Hack here. In this other version the usernames of the members, who were already online today, are not shown on the Forum-Mainpage; the names are shown in an extra File (like online.php), onlinetoday.php (Screenshot).

So, depending on which version of the Hack you prefer, you have to download this:
Version with usernames on the main Site of the Forum

or this:
Version with usernames on extra site (onlinetoday.php)

And here is a Screenshot of the Hack (attached to this Posting).
It starts with "Number of Active Users Today".
At the bottom in the middle you can see the "Last Online Time" of the User 'alsdorfer' while the Mouse Cursor is pointing on his Name.
(Info: I have censored most of the User Names with a black line )

1. is it possible to have the list of usernames visited today in a popup linked to the Number of active users today text ? my list page would be too long with 200 - 500 currentyly active + the list of users visited today

2. how come most ever visited on my forum is not the same and higher number than my most ever visited today ? trying to figure out how i can have more members currently on my forum that i have had for an entire day ? --- never mind about this one now i understand

3. Last online time seems to take the server's time and not the member's GMT offset time

Nice work , I will test it out to see how it works! Thanks

No, it doesn't take the server's time, the time is displayed according to the Users' Offset time.

Wow excellent hack, its great! 1 thing I've noticed was that when I was logged in as the admin, I could see all of todays users and invisible users - when I logout, i can only see the normal users, but the count doesn't include the invisible one?

Get what I mean? Was 202, and when I logout its 150, as 52 of my members today use invisible mdoe.

Again, fantastic

this is intended, because the members must not need to know how many invisible members logged in the board today.

Well, the Currently Online Users figure includes invisible users when you are logged out, so it would be nice to keep it consistant.

sorry about that, because in our board, the currently online users is modified to show invisible users for members as guests and so it is in our board consistant.

You just have to edit the new template 'forumhome_todayloggedinusers':

Replace $todayonline with $numbertodayonline

Ahh great, worked it out. Thanks again.
