Forum Home Enhancements - Members who have posted today.

As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

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 4.0 version are as follows ;

1. It displays the list on 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 last posted.
5. If you click on a members name it will list their posts.
6. The option to record and display the Most Ever posters can be enabled.
7. The ability to turn it on/off is in the ACP Options.
8. The ability to allow only certain usergroups to view the list is an ACP option (include or exclude groups).
9. The switch between Posted Today and Rolling 24 Hours is an ACP option.
10. The listing of names can now be suppressed (a simple message is displayed instead).
11. The list view is collapsable, so you just see the number of posters.
12. The display can be set as always collapsed on initial page load (4.0.5 +)

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

To install just unzip the XML and import into vB using the ACP Product Manager.

Updated due to the removal of the old collapse images in 4.1.11 - the replacement images are actually available in 4.1.8, 4.1.9 & 4.1.10 so you can update to the new version even if you havent upgraded from them to 4.1.11 yet. vBulletin versions prior to 4.1.8 are not supported by the current version (for 4.1.0 to 4.1.7 you can use the file prefixed with 417). vBulletin 4.0.x is not supported at all and no version is available to download.

Paul, I just had my server's time changed to year 2008. Very strange, don't know if it's because attack or bug, but this caused that mod showed all users who wrote something from time of first installation of mod.

I manually sorted server time, but now I have Most Ever Posters set to ridiculously high number of posters.

Could you maybe add option to reset Most Ever Posters? As a feature request. It could be handy in other situations too.

Hi,

is there a possibility to exclude certain forums in which have been posted, but the nornal users, or some groups should not see ?

I would like to exclude some forum ID's

[Bob_R]

Oh boy. I kinda know how to fix what I'm about to ask, but I want to be sure, and on top of that having a brain freeze.

See screen shot provided.

I wish to flip-flop those two.

Thanks.

You need to change the plugin execution orders.

[Bob_R]

Yours has an execution code of 6. The visitors in the last 24 hours has a 5?

Can you be more specific please?

Thank you.

[Bob_R]

I have plugins with an execution number of 5. This one is 6 yet this one goes first. As I understand it the lower execution number executes first.

(Anyone) Need an answer please in regards to the fix not necessarily the statement above.

[Bob_R]

Need more specific details please.

[Bob_R]

Uninstalled.

Need answers. Will re-install if answers ever received.
