Who Was Online Today on forums

PLEASE CLICK THE INSTALL BUTTON IF INSTALLED!

What does this hack do?

It shows the users who visited your forums in the last 24 hours (or today). This hack works similiarly like the one released for vBulletin 2.

NOTE: If you want to show 'Who was online today' on a separate page from forumhome, then download instructions-newpage.txt and onlinetoday.php instead of instructions-regular.txt

Ok, maybe I'm being anal, but look at the attached screenshot. See the circled area? It doesn't exactly fit in with the rest of the design of vBulletin. Maybe you should make it so that "who was online today" will indent and fit vBulletin's style. :nervous:

Just do a <td>&nbsp;</td> in there and that should take care of it.

Can anyone help with this, It's looking a bit c**p and I don't want to have to uninstall.

Try adding the phrases manually. I have updated the hack instructions because seems like several people were having this issue (but what's even stranger is that after an hour or two it seems to fix itself, that happened on my forums and on another as well ).

Anyways, as I said, re-download instructions.txt and add the phrases manually; also, delete the old ones if you have to.

[astra-sri]

Thanks mate.

That's worked

Do this:
In forumhome_todayloggedinusers
Replace everything with the following.

<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="thead" colspan="2">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onClick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_todayactiveusers')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_todayactiveusers" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_todayactiveusers].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
$vbphrase[active_users_today]: $todayonline
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_todayactiveusers" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_todayactiveusers]">

<tr>

<td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_link.gif" alt=" Number of Active Users Today" border="0" /></td>

<td class="alt1" colspan="0"><div class="smallfont">
<nobr><phrase 1="$todayrecordusers" 2="$todayrecorddate">$vbphrase[most_users_ever]</phrase></nobr> | 
<nobr>$vbphrase[already_visited_today]:</nobr><br />
        $todayloggedinuser<br />

I added that to the instructions now, looks better than what I have right now

[trinitym]

Woohoo! Everything is now working like a well-oiled machine. Erm, or something like that. Thanks for the fix, I really love this hack. Now I can click the happy button.

No problem guys, love the hack! Nice smooth install, thats what i like to see.

The phrases are missing on mine I think since I redid the install...

How do I manually add the phrases? I know that I goto the phrase manager and click add new phrase but :

what phrase type?

what Varname?

what text?

I also re read through the next install.txt file and all I see are the phrases (but not the rest of how to add them), sorry for the stupid question but I'm new to this

Also if you click on some of the usernames at the bottom it shows their last active date as being 2/13/04 and today is the 14th hmmm just wondering?

Phrase type, use GLOBAL, varname is the text before the / and text is after that.
