Forum Home Enhancements - Most Ever Users / Members / Guests / Chatters etc

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This hack performs two functions ;

Firstly - it seperately counts the most ever users, members & guests [and the timestamp they happened] for display in the Forumhome "What's Going On" section. At the moment this only records and displays the 'most ever users' (which is members + guests, and if often inflated by spiders etc).

To avoid cluttering the display it only displays one of the counts at a time - changing which one is displayed every 10 seconds. The existing 'most ever users' count [and timestamp] remain untouched, but obviously the new members and guests counts will only start from when you install the hack.

Secondly - this provides a most ever chatters/visitors/posters count for the three hacks I have released on vb.org (see my sig to find them). The code for these three 'plugins' is commented out by default - and can be removed if you don't require it (if you are unsure, then leave it - it won't do anything while commented out) . If you have one or more of these hacks installed, and want this extra functionality, then uncomment the relevant section of code for each hack.

This has been running for a week on our test system, and a couple of days live, without any problems, any support questions should be posted in this thread (read the sig first ).

Oh, and for the paranoid among you - no it doesn't add any queries to index.php.

Hi Paul, thanks for another great hack.
I'm wondering if there is any way to show both members and guest on consecutive lines?

There are always ways - I'm just not quite sure what you mean.

Sorry, what I mean is I like cluttered! What's involved in showing most users and most guests all the time?

Do you actually mean users or members (or both, meaning three lines in total with the guests ?).

[oz_moses]

Sorry for been so unclear! I guess I would like to see:

Currently Active Users: 6 (2 members and 4 guests)
Moses , Ellie+ , yahoo! slurp(2) , msnbot
The most ever members online was 4 (Today at 11:50 AM)
The most ever guests online was 20 (05-31-2005 at 01:33 AM)

So you want them after the list of names.

Replace ;

PHP Code:

    switch(substr(date(s),0,1)) 
    {
        case 0:
        case 3:
            $activeusers = $maxonlinetext."<br />".$activeusers; 
            break;
        case 1:
        case 4:
            $activeusers = $maxgueststext."<br />".$activeusers; 
            break;
        case 2:
        case 5:
            $activeusers = $maxmemberstext."<br />".$activeusers; 
            break;
    } 


With ;

PHP Code:

            $activeusers = $activeusers."<br />".$maxmemberstext."<br />".$maxgueststext ;

perfect paul
when (or where) for vb 3.5.0 gold ?

[Paul M]

Up to now no one has shown an interest in the 3.5 version - so I've not released it.

I'll see if I can package it up for posting this weekend.
