Hack Name: Who was online today
Hack Version: 1.0.2
For vB Version:: 2.x

Description:
This Hack adds something like the "Currently Active Users:"-Feature of vBulletin.
The difference is, instead of showing the users, who are currently online, it shows
all Users, who were online on a day and it also displays "Most users ever online on a day".

Summary of the Features:

• Shows "Number of Active Users Today"
• Shows "Most users ever online on a day"
• Shows last online time for each User while pointing the Mouse Cursor on it's name (=mouseover) in the list

Important: The Hack only works 100% correct, when each member is in the same time zone as the Server!

Files to edit: index.php
Templates to edit: forumhome
New Templates: forumhome_todayloggedinusers, forumhome_todayloggedinuser

I have attached the Install Instructions in a Text File.
The Instruction is in English and in German.

I will attach a Screenshot in a Reply to this Thread!

Post any Questions into this Thread!

Updates in 1.0.1: Inserted the two new templates into the template precaching (first step)

Updates in 1.0.2: Fixed a little Bug with the "Most users ever online on a day"-Count
(Replace '$maxusers[2] = $todayonline;' with '$maxusers[2] = $numbertodayonline;' in index.php)

Info: You can find an other version of this Hack here. In this other version the usernames of the members, who were already online today, are not shown on the Forum-Mainpage; the names are shown in an extra File (like online.php), onlinetoday.php (Screenshot).

So, depending on which version of the Hack you prefer, you have to download this:
Version with usernames on the main Site of the Forum

or this:
Version with usernames on extra site (onlinetoday.php)

On second thoughts, I don't think the updated code is working. On the "visitors who have visited today" I am seeing members who was on definitely yesterday according to my timezone, and not since. I think you are using the DEFAULT timezone for VB - not the server one, but the default one, not the member's own timezone.

Server time zone: GMT -6
VB default: GMT 0
My timezone: GMT +10

Instead of using GMT -6 which was what it was using, it is now using GMT 0 (I think).

from the timezone-fix, which was posted here , please delete this line:

PHP Code:

$unixtoday = $timeoffset * 3600 + $unixtoday; 


and replace this line:

PHP Code:

$unixtoday = $bbuserinfo[timeoffset] * 3600 + $unixtoday; 


with this:

PHP Code:

$unixtoday = $unixtoday + ($bbuserinfo['timezoneoffset'] - $timeoffset) * 3600; 


and test it again.

i hope so it will work well. please give me your feedback about it.

Well. If I was about 6 hours behind the server ?
Is there any setting to modify (traslation) to make the daytime interval synchronized to my time and not to server one ?
Thanks a lot

Otherwise I think it'll not useful to me ...

Hi genial,

No, your time fix did not work.

It looked as though it was okay when a user is unregistered, but when I log on as a registered user, there was 0 number shown. Not sure why to be honest - your fix should have worked.

I reverted back to the original fix.

Check if you have done all necessary template changes and if you have uploaded onlinetoday.php! (You only see the list of usernames on onlinetoday.php in the second version of the Hack!)

[Psychdrone]

Look at my first Posting in this Thread.....there are two Versions of the Hack

1. All names of the Users who where online today are listed on the Forum-Home just below the "Curent Active Users"

2. All names of the Users who where online today are listed on a separate Site (onlinetoday.php)

That's what I meant with the "second version"!

And it seems, you have installed the second version...because you don't see the names on the Forum Home !!! So, upload onlinetoday.php and open it....you can see the names there (and first, follow all instructions in "who-was-online-today-with-extra-window.txt" !)

[Psychdrone]

heh didn't see your second post! :zzz:

anyways thanks bud, got it working,

If you ever need anything give me a holla
