Forum Home Enhancements - Members who have posted Today (or in the last 24 hours)

This modification is no longer available or supported.

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

The main features of the 3.6 Version are basically the same as previous versions ;

1. It displays the list on Forum Home.
2. The list view is collapsable, so you just see the number of posters.
3. Invisible users are only displayed to those allowed to see them (with a "*")
4. Users who should display as coloured or bold etc will be displayed correctly. (based on the display usergroup)
5. If you 'hover' over a username it will show the time they last posted.
6. The list is in member name order.
7. If you click on a members name it will list their posts.
8. The hack is phrased.
9. The ability to turn it on/off is in the ACP Forum Home Options.
10. The ability to allow only certain usergroups to view the list is an ACP option (include or exclude groups).
11. The switch between Posted Today and Rolling 24 Hours is an ACP option.

Below added in v4.39
12. The listing of names can now be suppressed (a simple message is displayed instead).
13. The list of names can be set to be always collapsed on initial view.
14. The option to record and display the Most Ever posters has been added (v4.45+).


(Options are located in vBulletin Options > Who Has Posted).

Unzip the XML and import into vB using the ACP Product Manager. Make sure you check the display settings once installed.

To upgrade from the 3.5 version just re-import the product with the overwrite option set to yes.

Is there any reason why the "most ever" (of this and the visited hack) numbers would reset if no other changes have been made? This happened once before and happened again today. Today was very bad timing because we got a write up in today's newspaper, and as of this moment, it is saying the most posters in one day is 7 and most visiters is 15 - both numbers about 1/6 of what they should be.

Great hack BTW, this is the only issue I have had with it!

That's actually an issue with the CMPS usersonline module. They fixed it in 2.2.1.

So even though I'm talking about the display on the forum home, not on the CMPS page, the 2.0 version of vBAdvanced is causing the problem?

There is a server time change issue happening today. Contact your hosts.

Correct, the broken version of that module erases the most ever visitors/posters etc data.

OK, thank you for the quick replies. I'm kicking myself that I didn't look into it after the first time so I wouldn't have this happen today of all days!

I noticed a new version of this came out so I went ahead and upgraded. Now it's kinda weird the # of last posters has disappeared ... Just shows:

Total members that have posted on the forum in the last 24 hours:

Show's the users .. just not the #.
