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

works near perfectly except that on my site, the usernames are NOT formatted properly. That means all the user are "plain text" no color, nu bold.

Can somebody help ?

Thanks

Well, just downloaded and installed and it resets at midnight

Also, how does one update this with "old" world-records from the previous incarnation of this hack? I can update the datastore table appropriately BUT the current data is cached so the database update is ignored.........

Also (in addition to the above). My install also 'resets' each day at midnight. I've followed the instructions very carefully and re-checked. Does anyone have any clues as to why this might happen that I can investigate?

It's a per-day reading, so it would reset at 12:00 midnight. Users based on that 24hr period.

Sorry, obviously not clear, I mean it doesn't 'save' the most online in a day. So for instance if 100 visited yesterday and then (so far) 50 today - it says "The most users online ever on one day is 50 on Today." rather than "The most users online ever on one day is 100 on Yesterday".

Mine does? "Most users ever online in one day was 62 on 05-23-2004.." Posted direct from my forums.

Mine doesn't though - and I'm asking why!

[nickels376]

Are you sure you manually ran this query on your database?

INSERT INTO datastore (title, data) VALUES ('todaymaxonline', 'a:2:{s:14:\"todaymaxonline\";i:1;s:18:\"todaymaxonlinedate\";i:1070000000;}')

If you didn't, it won't store it.

Here's the output from my database. "240" is the number of visitors today. So it's going in the database, but not being retained overnight.


mysql> select * from datastore where title like '%online%';
+----------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| title | data |
+----------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| todaymaxonline | a:2:{s:14:"todaymaxonline";i:240;s:18:"todaymaxonl inedate";i:1086044400;}
|
+----------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql>

Mine looks almost exactly the same:

title data
todaymaxonline a:2:{s:14:"todaymaxonline";i:76;s:18:"todaymaxonli nedate";i:1086062400;}

But I'm wondering how your server is cutting the time off. Hmm...

very good. i installed this just now, took about 10 minutes tops. only thing i changed was in the phrase "most_users_ever", i changed it from "on" to "in" a day. just sounded better. thank you!

[Malke]

I have a question.

Is this a MysQL query?:

INSERT INTO datastore (title, data) VALUES ('todaymaxonline', 'a:2:{s:14:\"todaymaxonline\";i:1;s:18:\"todaymaxo nlinedate\";i:1070000000;}')

Sorry I'm not used to do these kind of things.

Props on the addons from everyone here!
