Visitor Totals Last 24hrs

ported for 3.5.x.

It's a cool hack if you like to look at your total hits in a 24hr day from both members and guests.

1 PHP Modification to includes/cleanup.php
1 Template Mod. to Forumhome
1 Product Pluggin

Instructions and XML are in the zip.

I will support this hack but should be much trouble with it. Been running it since vB 2.2 I think.

When you first install this hack it will only track from the time the last sessions cleanup was completed. After a sessions cleanup it will start over or reset to 1hr again. Then track the hours in increments for 24hrs. Then clean out the sessions table and start over again. Sessions cleanups should normally occur at midnight.

This hack works if you remove the old code in the cleanup.php and replace it with the new information in the readme.

For information cleanout2.php dose not run hourly like implied in the cron tab. It is set for 5 min after midnight. Jelsoft set it that way and not sure why it is titled a hourly cleanup in the scheduled task. In any event it is needed to reset the script for the next day.

Good luck and I will do my best to answer any questions.

Thanks to Paul M. for pointing out a bug I kept overlooking.

I received the update email but the attachment is the same :S

There is nothing wrong with the code. The only thing that can cause it to not count up is a script that would be cleaning out you sessions table.

Cleanup.php does this every hour that is why we change the code.

cleanup2.php does empty the sessions table after midnight. We want this to happen.

If you want me to look at your cleanup.php you can email it to me.

Sorry for the delay. It works now, my mistake.

TCS could you look at my cleanup.php because I have followed the changes in this thread and it still counts to a max of two hours before resetting again.

The “MOD” installed fine, however it seems to be acting rather strange, I edited the file per the instructions, It reads 8 users in 1 hour, log out and view the site as a guest it reads 3 in the last 1 hour, log in as another users and its 6, any idea on why it wouldn’t be the same number for everyone?

I am also getting problems with this. It did start counting the hours once it passed midnight, and it got up to 'last 13 hours' at which time I hit the page refresh ( for other reasons ) and it reset to 1 hour again.

any ideas ?

[ShawnV]

Yes, mine is also doing that, Total users that have visited today: 3, its showing 2 users now in the last 2 hours (shrug)

[groberthall]

I may have solved it. I am up to 11 hours and refreshing the page does not reset the counter.

All I did was make exactly the same change to cleanup2 as it says to do to cleanup.php ( as suggested in earllier posts )

Yes, but did it reset at midnight or did it keep on counting into the next day?
