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).

I see - thank you Paul!

Just curious as I was looking at the xml - my first thought would be no as I couldn't find a way to do this, however, would it be possible to integrate this hack with your hack? I can't find a way to do it, but want to know if it could be possible. I could see how it might if the data was pushed in the forumhome template, but I don't see how it would as the plugin suggests otherwise.

In theory it would be possible with a bit of work - i.e. writing some extra code in the plugin, and altering the SQL query.

Hi Paul,

I have done added the update but now the options are not in there

Step 2.
Change the settings in 'vBulletin Options > Forums Home Page Options' as required.

I have gone right through them and all I can see is:

Script Name for Forum Home Page
Display Logged in Users
Display Today's Birthdays
Display Calendar Events
Display Custom Holidays
Upcoming Event Type
Active Members Time Cut-Off
Active Members Options

I have reinstalled it and yes overwrite. Also un-installed it and reinstalled it and refreshed my admincp a good few times and nothing is there

Thanks for any help

[Paul M]

Ooops, those notes are out of date ;

Change the settings in 'vBulletin Options > Who has visited today' as required.

I just noticed the history of this hack. Do you still have previous versions? I noticed the v4.10 pushes through the forumhome. It would purely be for educational value.

Thanks Paul, I looked all over and must have just missed it.

Thanks again

Do you mean versions previous to 4.10 ?

Got a quick ?. Didnt see it anywhere, is there a way to have next to the "Total members that have visited the forum today:" , a "Total Guests that have visited the forum today:" ?

Think that would be kinda cool to actually show how many people did check out the site within 24 hrs....thanks!

I've added this as a note in the main hack as it keeps getting asked.

Please note that it is not possible for this hack to count guests.
