Members who have visited the forum (Today or 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 midnight) or in the last 24 hours. Please note that it is not possible for this hack to count guests.

The main features of Version 4.xx 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 should 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 hack is now phrased.
8. The ability to turn it on/off is in the ACP Forum Home Options.
9. The ability to allow only certain usergroups to view the list is an ACP option (vBulletin Options > Who has visited today).
10. The switch between Visited Today and Rolling 24 Hours is an ACP option (many seem to miss this actually exists).
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.

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

To upgrade from version 4.10 onwards, you need to re-import the product with the overwrite option set to yes. To upgrade from version 4.01/4.02 to version 4.10 onwards, you need to uninstall the product and remove the template code in FORUMHOME - then upload the new product. To upgrade from version 3.xx to version 4.xx you need to delete the existing plugin and remove the template code in FORUMHOME - then upload the new product.

* Add-ons etc *

* An add-on to display a 'Most ever posters' count is available here.

* If you want the WVT display on a seperate page - see this post by EvilHawk - now updated to version 4.21.

* There is also a CMPS module that makes use of this plugin (by tgmorris).

Installed... It worked fine for a while, then it died. Getting a 0 now. Any suggestions other than uninstalling it?

EDIT:
$cutoff = $now - 86400 ; // ## Uncomment this line if you want a rolling 24 hours display ## //

I uncommented that line and it came back up.

You do realise the original version resets each midnight ?

Hi,

This is not working for me as yet, I have done all the steps in the instructions, all I get is an empty table. Is this something to do with Hook Location? Does this need to be set at specific one?

thanks

[Paul M]

The hook location sets itself, are you sure you have plugins enabled ?

[taffy056]

Hi,

Just redone the plugin and all is working okay now, just need to get used to doing something slightly different from previously.

I figured that, however, at the reset, I logged out and in under a few different usernames, and it didn't log it. The rolling list will work just fine though, it's what I was looking for anyhow.

Thanks again.

I was looking for it to display users who have logged in since MIDNIGHT (00:00) Free games on the same day...

It works on the members last activity time, which is updated when ever they move from one area of the forum to another, I would have thought logging in updates this as well.

The display is actually calculated before your own activity is updated, so if you logged directly into the homepage, you would actually need to refresh the page before you saw yourself listed.
