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).

Great hack Paul, thanks. I also chose to have it collapsed by default, though (600+ people at the end of the day).

Yes, another great hack. Had this installed on my vB3.0 forum, great hack! A+!

[glensmail]

Installed (Clicked INSTALL aswell ) and all working fine,

Thanks to the OP, this is just what I was looking for.

Hi Paul This is not showing up. Is there any way that we can install it manually through the templates? We just checked and the ACP section is there, and the template 'Display_Visitors' is there, so most likely the code in 'What's going on' is just missing.

First of all, have you checked what usergroups are allowed to see it ?

The actual code looks for the html comment "<!-- end logged-in users -->" in your forumhome template - if you have removed that for some reason then just insert it back where you want this to appear.

Thank you Paul That seems to have fixed it.

Could you please clearify what is meant by "Set to 'yes' for a rolling 24 hour display, leave as 'no' to reset the count at each members midnight." ? Does that mean that if it's set to yes and member 'X' logs in at 5:00 - that he will stay on the list until 5:00 the next day? VS. the no setting which would wipe the slate clean at midnight for everybody. Is that what it means?

Nice Hack Paul, but is it also possible to show the total number of guests who have visited the forum today?!
