Forum Home Enhancements - Members who have visited today.

As of 24 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

This adds a simple display of all members who have visited the forum - either today (i.e. since the users midnight) or in the last 24 hours.

Note: it is not possible for this hack to count guests.

The main features of the 3.8 version are as follows ;

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 will 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 ability to turn it on/off is in the ACP Options.
8. The ability to allow only certain usergroups to view the list is an ACP option (include or exclude groups).
9. An option to record and display the Most Ever Members can be enabled.
10. The switch between Visited Today and Rolling 24 Hours is an ACP option.
11. The listing of members can be suppressed (a simple message is displayed instead).
12. The list of names can be set to be always collapsed on initial view.

(Options are in vBulletin Options > Who has visited today)

To install just unzip the XML and import into vB using the ACP Product Manager.

not work

[DrivinMissDaisy]

Installed and works fine. Of course I am using Default setup.

[davew]

Worked First Time, works perfectly - Thank you very much!

And installed into Dark Galzorian and Crastel styles too, no additional effort required!

[GreasySpoon]

It would be great if you could add an option to cache the list for a period of time, to save the huge query.

$template_hook[forumhome_wgo_pos2]

This is the exact code you need to add into your FORUMHOME template.

Hi Paul,

I use XCache for datastore and I observe after every restart of mysqld the statistics for "most users ever" is gone. Is that a normal behaviour when using XCache?

Regards, Knut

[Paul M]

Nope. I use Xcache as well (as do many others) and have no such issue.

Wow, I can't believe I didn't notice this 3.8 version sooner...

Anyway, I have vBulletin 3.8.1 and I've succesfully run v3.7.004 version of this mod to date... Are there any new features in v3.8.002 (compared to v3.7.004)? Should I upgrade?

[Paul M]

Not really, you can continue to run the old version if you wish.

thanks!
