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

This modification is no longer available or supported.

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.

Note: it is not possible for this hack to count guests - however, see this thread to track guests.

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

1. It displays the list on the Forum Home.
2. The list view is collapsable, so you just see the number.
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 were last active.
6. The list is in member name order.
7. The mod is phrased.
8. The ability to turn it on/off is in the ACP Options.
9. The ability to allow only certain usergroups to view the list is an ACP option (include or exclude groups).
10. The switch between Visited Today and Rolling 24 Hours is an ACP option.
11. The listing of members can now be suppressed (a simple message is displayed instead).
12. The list of names can be set to be always collapsed on initial view.
13. The option to record and display the Most Ever visitors has been added (v4.43+).

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

Unzip the XML and import into vB using the ACP Product Manager.

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


EvilHawk has also updated his WVT on a seperate page, see this post.

<!-- END TEMPLATE: Display_Visitors_User -->,<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: Display_Visitors_User -->
<a rel="nofollow" href="member.php?u=269" title="08:44 PM">AdminTest</a>
<!-- END TEMPLATE: Display_Visitors_User -->

But, the way the page LOOKS, the space in the source should be here (Asteriks = space) :

<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: Display_Visitors_User -->
<a rel="nofollow" href="member.php?u=40" title="07:00 PM">Aaron</a>
<!-- END TEMPLATE: Display_Visitors_User -->*,*<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: Display_Visitors_User -->
<a rel="nofollow" href="member.php?u=269" title="08:44 PM">AdminTest</a>
<!-- END TEMPLATE: Display_Visitors_User -->

I looked in the code and couldn't find anything, nor in the phrases.

You have template comments enabled, that's why.

They should never be enabled on a live forum, turn them off in your vboptions.

I really like this hack! Is it possible to have a template version?
Our forums are quite large and we try to do all we can to avoid extra queries.

[Paul M]

I have no idea what you mean by a "template" version.

Trying to avoid queries just for the sake of it is a pointless excercise.

[IDEA MODE OFF]

[Paul M]

No, move your mouse over the name to see that.

In the version for vb 3.5 you show also the count of user was online. in the newst version i miss this count of users. Is there a easy way to include the count of users again?

Edit: after comparing the old and the new version i found the way to show this again.

Remove the old template code from forumhome.
