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)

Mystics

Maybe you edited a template in the wrong way or you added one template not correct.

I wish but I don't think that's possible, all that has to be done is adding 2 new templates (can't see how my ctrl+v button screwed up) and replacing some text in the index.php....

When I restore my old index.php the prob is gone but also the hack ofcourse....

How many queries does this add?

It adds one Query in index.php, and a second one only when there is a new record.

Please check the instructions to see what you have done wrong....you have forgotten one or more templates (I think "whowasonline_todayloggedinuser")

whosonline_legend is a standard Template in vBulletin since 2.2.x

<br>
<!-- Legend -->
<table cellpadding="{tableouterborderwidth}" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="{tablebordercolor}" {tableouterextra} width="{contenttablewidth}" align="center"><tr><td>
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="{tableinnerborderwidth}" border="0" {tableinnerextra} width="100%">
<tr>
	<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><smallfont>
	Names in <b>Bold</b> are forum Moderators. Names in <b><i>Bold & Italics</i></b> are forum Administrators.
	</smallfont></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr></table>
<!-- /Legend -->

The hack is working perfectly and makes a great addition to my board! I just have one question.

Is there any way to create a history of how many people have logged on each day for say a week, or a month? I'd like to see just how the days are averaging, etc.

[Renegade]

Very cool hack, now I can easily see who visited the board in a day!

thx

Nice hack, but I seem to have a minor issue.

"The following members have already visited the Board today:"

is always blank.

any ideas?

Recheck your changes in index.php and your Templates.

Maybe your have forgotten the Template forumhome_todayloggedinuser

I misunderstood the instructions for the last part, but once I created that template, it worked out just fine.

Very nice hack!

Thanks for everything.

I'm having a probelm with it showing the right amount of users now. Here's what it says:

Number of active users today: 2
Most users ever online on a day was 5 on Today.

And it only lists 2 names when I know for sure there were 5 users on line today.

Anybody have any ideas? I have checked and re-checked everything and even re-stalled the templates and checked to make sure the code was right where is needed to be.

BTW: The reason the number of users is so small is because I am still setting the board up )

Anybody have any ideas as to why this is happening now? It worked great yesterday when I installed it but now it is showing wrong.

@Boofo

"Who is online" includes Guests, "Who was online" doesn't include Guests, maybe that's the reason.

[Boofo]

I thoght of that, but the other 3 users that are missing on the listing were actually on there today.

[Mystics]

Which version of the Hack have you installed (extra Page/Non extra Page)?

Have you applied the "Time-Fixes" which are posted somewhere in this Thread?

[Boofo]

I installed the extra page version and as far as the time fix thing, I either missed that or didn't understand it. Do I need to apply it becuase it was fine yesterday and after midnight it must have gone wrong, is that it?
