A very simple display of all members who have visited the forum 'today' (i.e. since midnight). I looked at the existing hacks that apparently do this, and they either seemed over complicated or had a lot of problems, so I wrote my own simple version.
The main features of Version 2.xx are ;
1. It displays the list on Forum Home under the "Users online" display.
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.
If you prefer, then there is an option to make this hack display a rolling 24 hours - un-comment the relevant line in the code.
Addons: ericgtr has created a CMPS module for this hack, you will find the files here. paul41598 has created a pop-up display instead of the collapsable display, you will find the files here.

Look at Paul M's post at the top of this page and you will see the word "Download" in the right-column. Click the link to download the text file called Members online today.txt
The forumhome template can be accessed in the Admin Control Panel. From there click Style Manager which is in the Styles and Templates dropdown menu. To the right of All Style Options click the Expand Templates icon << >>. Scroll down until you find the Forum Home Templates. Double-click to expand and look for FORUMHOME. Click it and then click the Edit button to make changes to the template.
I have the users posted today and users visited today in the top nav and the template just expands, I would like to put a line break in there so that the users would just move to the next line. Right now it's just throwing off the template, I'm so tempted to just take it off, but I like having it on the top.
Is there a way to put a line break for the users online (as well as users today)? If so, is it in the index.php where I put the hack? Where would the line break go, details and code if possible would be great, thanks!
They are great hacks, Paul, thank you for writing them!
Never mind, Paul, I just took it off and moved it to the bottom boxes. I didn't know and still don't know where to put a line break as the template just expands in the upper navbar box.
Yup, you have to be a female and registered to see the forum. I do have a test user, but everything is hidden from view with that user as well.
