Who Was Online Today on forums

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

I've installed the hack, and it worked perfectly ..

But already_visited_today are not being shown except for the GUEST ..

as soon as I sign in, this info is reset !!

That sounds very strange, how can I solve it ?

[MindTrix]

Can we get a screenshot of the Who Was Online Today when its on its own page? Also on the front you say theres no querys to run but there is

This might simply be this time zone problem I already described.

It is impossible to display a "Who was online today?" list correctly for all members regardless which time zone they use on each and every board regardless which default time zone the board uses if one doesn't keep a list of members that logged in within the last 48 hours (instead of only 24 hours).

Best (and probably easiest to code) would be to make the list fully dynamic (i. e. "Who was online in the last 24 hours?"

I know that there is a dynamic "Who was online in the last 24 hours?" hack already (which works fine) but this "Who was online today?" also keeps the "Most users ever online on a day was ..." top score which I don't want to miss.

Ironically enough, this "Most users ever online on a day was ..." function is done fully dynamically (and doesn't rely on the vBulletin "Registered visitors today" stats which are not dynamic but based on the default time zone) which is absolutely awesome.

Since the author apparently doesn't support this hack anymore and because so many people have installed this hack already (all of whom have this time zone problem I described, regardless if they are aware of it or not), I wonder if some coder could convert the "Who was online today?" routines to fully dynamic "Who was online in the last 24 hours?" routines (or fix it by keeping the login entries for 48 hours and considering the member's time zone as offset from the default time zone which is, however, probably somewhat more complicated?)

Either solution would be absolutely elite and elysian, and I would make such a coder my hero of the month.

I'd like to just say hello to everyone real quick. I'm brand new to the vBulletin community so I'm fairly ignorant on how the entire systems works. Anyways I just installed this hack on 3.0.1 and it seems to pull information though it's not formatted correctly. I assume this is of course something stupid that I have done but not knowing the system any better than I do at this point I'm a bit clueless.

Anyways I'd love it if someone could give me a gentle shove in the right direction and lemme know what I should look at, attached is a screenshot of the error I get. Thanks.

*edit*

Ummm nevermind I got it fixed cut off a tag in a cut and paste. Knew it would be something stupid like that. Anyways:

I had

I clipped the
