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)

Mr. Slugworth-I installed this hack, and it sayes:

Number of Active Users Today: 13
Most users ever online on a day was 25 on Today.

(I have yesterday-today hack installed)

however notice if only 13 were on today, 25 can't be the record so I think I am having the same problem as you.

Anyone have any idea?

[Mr. Slugworth]

Yah.

Any time I have a record number of people online at the same time (members and quests), my most ever online on a day resets to the current day's figure. So, I am racking up three or four days, and then it gets reset. Bothersome.

so has anyone ever figured out the timezone thing?

[nafae]

It appears firefly has its running fine here. Just not on my forums

No, I am talking about "Currently Active Users Maximum" for today. Our record is 71 users online, concurrently. That was 3 months ago or something. Re usually hit 50/60 some days - but I have to be around to see it. My suggestion was to show:

Currently Active Users: 31
There are currently 27 members and 4 guests on the boards. | Most users ever online was 71 on 18-11-2001 at 23:24. The most users on-line today at one time was: 54


The red being the bit I am after. Hope that is clear enough. aranoid:

Just wanted to say very nice mod and a big thank you! I really like this one. The only thing which would make it even better would be to also include the number of guests who visit in addition to logged in members.

Yeah. Infact yesterday I applied the hack and found about 270 users from the midnight with all your corrections.
Today I have 0 (zero!) users, according to the same hack...

Actually I think the traslation you made to $unixtoday var had the wrong sign ... :?:

I though to a simpler solution, I guess.
Simply, replace in the ORIGINAL HACK CODE:

PHP Code:

mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d"),date("Y")); 


with:

PHP Code:

mktime($timeoffset-$bbuserinfo['timezoneoffset'],0,0,date("m"),date("d"),date("Y")); 


This should traslate the server's midnight time towards the user one.

What do you thin about ?

It does not give desirable outcomes!
I have other solution:

in the ORIGINAL HACK CODE (index.php & onlinetoday.php):
replace:

PHP Code:

mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d"),date("Y")) 


with:

PHP Code:

mktime(0,0,0,vbdate("m", time()),vbdate("d",time()),vbdate("Y", time())) 


It should work.
