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

Hey there

I have applied this hack, but didn't quite stick to your installation instructions Sorry! I have applied it by altering the forumhome_loggedinuser(s) template and now I have it split up next to the WOL !! Actually looks pretty cool

Thank you for the code!! Very easy to apply and when its time to goto vB3 I can just put index.php back and upgrade, and re-apply this simple hack! Way cool

Hi xiphoid
Your "online users" looks great, how did you split it that way, can you please explain, I like it very much looks much better this way
thanx

Just installed the hack and it was a piece of cake! Great work and thanks for making such a wonderful hack.

Now just to figure out how to list the names on a separate page like they do on this forum. Back to reviewing the thread to find out!

Hi, love this hack

One question,

I'd like to know if there was a way to hide it from guests and put an option in the user cp to ask if they want to show up on 'online today' but still show up on the normal who's online.

If the user selects 'no, I don't want to show up on 'online today'' than they become invisible (just for the 'online today') but the admin can see them.

That make sense?

Hi,
I installed the hack on my board, but when I edit my index.php I have the following line on top of my forum :

tr id="cat"

..... I didn't do anything wrong so what can I do to squash this bug ?

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")
