Members who have visited today (with last 24 hours option).

This modification is no longer available or supported.

A very simple display of all members who have visited the forum 'today' (i.e. since midnight). I looked at the existing hacks that apparently do this, and they either seemed over complicated or had a lot of problems, so I wrote my own simple version.


The main features of Version 2.xx are ;

1. It displays the list on Forum Home under the "Users online" display.

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.


If you prefer, then there is an option to make this hack display a rolling 24 hours - un-comment the relevant line in the code.


Addons:
ericgtr has created a CMPS module for this hack, you will find the files here.
paul41598 has created a pop-up display instead of the collapsable display, you will find the files here.

Simple (especially for novices like myself) and effective. Thanks!

Great Hack, I would like to add it to the bottom of my page, I have tried placing it in numerous spots of the FORUM HOME template, and I get it there, just not the right format. Its either vertical or half the page. Any ideas?

[Paul M]

I don't quite follow, the instructions tell you where to place it in the template.

Look at TEAMBAJAMARINE's forum. What's Going On is at the top of the page. The original template has What's Going On near the bottom of the page. Does TEAMBAJAMARINE want the Members who have visited today (with last 24 hours option) hack to be seen in What's Going On or be seen separately at the bottom of the page?

It's already in the what's going on section, to put it seperately at the bottom would require some extra code to create a table - as the supplied code is for a single row in an existing table.

Yes sir, exactly the answer I was looking for. Does anyone have the code to put the TOTAL USERS TODAY at the bottom of the page. Thanks for the replys gang!

In the original FORUMHOME template the code at the end of the forum table looks like this:

</tbody>
</table>
<!-- /main -->

<br />
<br />

<!-- what's going on box -->

This code includes a couple of line breaks to put a space between the forum table and the What's Going On table. If you want a gap then make sure you put your code after the two <br />'s. If you want Paul's hack to be butted on the end of the forum table then his code must be inserted between </tbody> and </table>.

Try adding this code after the two line breaks:

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

<!-- Todays active users -->
<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td class="thead" colspan="2">
			<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_todayusers')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_todayusers" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_todayusers].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
			Total users that have visited today: $totaltoday
		</td>
	</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_todayusers" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_todayusers]">
	<tr>
		<td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/whos_online.gif" alt="Users online today" border="0" /></td>
		<td class="alt1" width="100%"><div class="smallfont">$whotoday</div></td>
	</tr>
</tbody>
<!-- Todays active users -->
</table>
<br />

Mick,
Fantastic Work, Thank you! I made a few line break adjustments, but worked like a charm. See it in action here...

You have put the code here:

</tbody>
Your code
</table>
<!-- /main -->

and added a <br /> before the code to add a gap between the forum and Paul's hack.

Since you added a <tbody> inside the forum table container I don't think you need:
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

& </table>.

You only need those lines if you are creating a new table container for Paul's <tbody>. I hope that makes sense. If not, just leave the code as is as it seems to work.

have a question here.......this hack has been working great for a few months now and really makes the forum look nice but i have a problem the past few days.....

i just switched servers and since the switch every night at about 6 p.m. eastern it goes blank (has 0 members visited in last 24 hours) and doesn't start up again until a few hours later (probably like 1 a.m.).

Any idea how i could fix this or what the problem would be?
