Forum Home Enhancements - Members who have visited today.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This modification has been withdrawn.
vBulletin 4.0.x and 4.1.x are no longer supported.

The feature is already built into the core vBulletin 4.2.x code.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This adds a simple display of all members who have visited the forum - either today (i.e. since the users midnight) or in the last 24 hours.

This modification cannot count guests, it is members only.

Note that installing this will automatically remove the "Member Tracking" modification.

The main features of the vB4 version are as follows ;

1. It displays the list on the Forum Home.
2. Invisible users are only displayed to those allowed to see them (with a "*")
3. Users who should display as coloured or bold etc will be displayed correctly (based on the display usergroup).
4. If you 'hover' over a username it will show the time they were last active.
5. The list is in member name order.
6. The ability to turn it on/off is in the ACP Options.
7. The ability to allow only certain usergroups to view the list is an ACP option (include or exclude groups).
8. An option to record and display the Most Ever Members can be enabled.
9. The switch between Visited Today and Rolling 24 Hours is an ACP option.
10. The listing of members can be suppressed (a simple message is displayed instead).
11. The list view is collapsable, so you just see the number .
12. The display can be set as always collapsed on initial page load.

(Options are in vBulletin Options > Who has visited today)

To install just download the XML and import into vB using the ACP Product Manager.

No, that's not it. It's the Username HTML Markup (e.g., <font color="Black"> ... </font>)that causes the conflict. But this wasn't an issue with this mod for 3.x.

There's only one group with the default color (i.e., no markup) and that's the only group displaying the time.

(By the way, changing the markup to <span... >... </span> doesn't change anything.)



Added - this is confirmed:

• removing the title and leaving the markup: no time displayed
• removing the markup and leaving the title: time is displayed

[Paul M]

Sorry, but I cannot confirm this.

I have colour markup on both Area 52 and Hangar 18 (my vb4 forums) and it works fine, so the only conclusion I can draw is that your markup is breaking it.

[djbaxter]

But all my markup does is change the color.

Perhaps it's another add-on interacting in an odd way. I'll investigate further.

Just out of curiosity, is this the psychlinks forum in your sig ? Because I just looked, and its working fine for me in IE and FF (all the different coloured users).

It is. I just noticed that everything is working fine on my Vista laptop with IE8. But not on my XP3 desktop with IE8. That is very odd indeed.

Something is set wrong on the desktop, I think.

[djbaxter]

OK. More information.

On checking, I had IE8 on my laptop set to "View all websites in Compatibility Mode".

Back home now and I set IE8 on the desktop to the same - the mod works as it should and as it used to in the 3.x version. Changing to compatibility mode also fixed another minor but annoying style issue, unrelated to this add-on.

That tells me there's some bad coding somewhere in 4.x, no?

Superb Paul - Thanks for this mod!

I am using both "Members who have visited today" and "Members who have read this thread". They are both brilliant. However, dont forget to make their naming conventions, XML names, admin options and layout of admin option screen as consistent as you can across your releases! I know it is a lot of housekeeping to do this... but it makes your "suite" of apps much more integrated and user-friendly. Learn one; learn them all. Fing them in the admincp and product manager more easily, etc.

Request: Most languages have this wonderful word "yesterday". Any chance you can include that within the mod? To allow a 48hr view rather than just 24hr. The mouseover would then show "yesterday at xxx.xxx". Very useful for tracking esp. for smaller boards. Well, perhaps not exactly 48 hrs... but between 24-48hrs.

luv it! Thank you Paul!

Sorry but no, this was designed for today only, and thats all it will ever be.
