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This modification has been withdrawn.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.

I use the IP deny manager in the website cpanel and block the IP address there so that the bots don't even get to the forum.

Anything I can do?

There is no option to limit the usergroups displayed in the list, only to limit the groups that can view the list.

Oh, whoops.

Yeah, I am about to implement additional measures to keep them out. I never thought of IP banning though, good idea - thanks.

There is a display error in the NON-default skin: http://www.next-console.it/forum/

[Paul M]

I cannot support custom styles.

Also, you dont actually say what your issue is, just in case anyone else can help you.

Hello Paul,

I have a question, you might provide the insight needed to figure it out.
Your mod has worked perfectly since day 1.

Recently, I realized that users that registered through "Facebook Connect" do not show up in the "Total members that have visited the forum today:" section.

They show up only the very first day that they registered... after that, they're gone.
They are a custom group, and I checked their settings in "User Group Options", and I have
Viewable on Show Groups (Sets whether or not to show members of this group on the 'View Forum Leaders' page) set to Yes.

Any thoughts? Ideas?

Could it be that the default Facebook Connect setting is to "log out" a user?

Again, this isn't a problem with your mod, yet you might have the answer.
Thank you very much for your work!! Much appreciated!

Just to be clear - are you saying that these facebook members are visiting the site and actually viewing / posting ? or are you just saying that someone who registers via facebook, but then does nothing, isnt shown ?

The former makes no sense as they should show up just like anyone else - the latter is possible if the facebook code doesnt set their lastactivity timestamp when it creates them.

Works fine on vB Suite 4.1.2

Thankyou very much for this mod

*Marked As Installed*

Paul, thank you for the reply.
Now I understand what you're asking.
And I think you are right.

I went to vB ACP >> User Groups >> User Group Manager
Then under Facebook Connect >> Show All Primary Users, and it came back
"No Users Matched Your Query"

I don't want to keep on spamming this excellent mod's thread...
So I ask: Would you suggest I open a new thread asking for help in General Discussion?
I think it'll be more suited there.

Thanks again, your mod is working perfectly on 4.1.2
