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).

Would this hack increase the server load or bandwidth when being used? I installed it and it works great, but I notice the board slows down when I use it. Anyone?

Not unless you have absolutely huge numbers visiting every day.
This only runs on the forum homepage, no other pages.
As an example, we have 600+ per day and it barely makes the server flicker. Obviously the homepage increases in size to accomodate the user list (500 users adds about 30k to the page) - and it runs one simple sql select query (which takes 0.092 seconds on our main forum).

It should be okay then, sounds like. I have just at 700 per day. Usually around 110 active at the same time. Thanks, Paul.
