As a number you mean ? Simply edit the template to your needs, the number and list of names are supplied as seperate variables.

[Lea Verou]

Why doesn't it have the "most users ever online on a day" that the one for 3.0.x had? :(

[Paul M]

Why doesn't it have the "most users ever online on a day" that the one for 3.0.x had? :(Um, this has never had such a feature, in any version.

Perhaps you are thinking of another 3.0.x hack of mine (this (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=81167) ?)

[Lea Verou]

Nope! Maybe there are many such mods oute there...
However it would be great if you could implement this feature! :D

Nice Plug-in, thank you Paul, I have installed the german version for vbhacks-germany, but PcFreak wrote, that he olny translated your "hack" and everyone who installs the german version should install your hack.

And by the way, it works perferctly. :D

Thanks PaulM!!

Great job!

[Paul M]

Thank you for your comments. :)

Since the final release of 3.5 Gold I have been working on updating most of my hacks (largely to convert them to products).

I will be updating this hack from a 'Plugin' to a 'Product' very shortly which will mean ;

* The hack will become phrased.
* The ability to turn it on/off in the ACP.
* The ability to allow only certain usergroups to view the list will be an ACP option.
* The switch between Visited Today and Rolling 24 Hours will become an ACP option (many seem to miss this actually exists).

If you are happy with it working as is - then obviously there will be no requirement to upgrade - I will still support the old version (though I will strongly urge you to upgrade in most cases). If you wish to upgrade then you will need to delete the existing plugin, upload the new product, and replace the template code with the new version.

[Paul M]

The product version is now uploaded. Please report any problems in this thread. :)

[TheProphet]

Thx Paul, works great ;)

[Ncturnal]

Paul, how about adding guest counts too? Whatcha say? :D

That would be cool. :) I'm happy with it either way, but since most of my visitors are guest accounts, that would be nice.

[Paul M]

Paul, how about adding guest counts too? Whatcha say? :DSorry, this subject has been bought up a number of times, vb does not keep a permanant record of individual guests, so there is no data to count.

[Slacker]

This is perfect for my forum which has a lot of traffic, but sometimes has a low posting day. Having this on the front page shows any visitors that they're looking at a pretty active forum. Thanks Paul!

how do you change the time lenght in which it changes so it doesn't clear up so soon?

[Slacker]

Sorry Slacker, not much chance of that in the forseeable future.
Actually I figured it out anyway. w00t! :D

Here's how I did it if anyone is curious:

First, I created a Single-Selection Menu profile field with "Yes" and "No" as the two options, defaulting to "Yes."

Then I changed Paul's conditional to use the new option. In my case, the system called it field10.

Original is:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

I changed it to:



Code:

I have it set to display as long as the profile field I created isn't set to "No." That makes it display for those who are set to "Yes" and for unregistered visitors.

Works fine for me. I did do the Collapsed by Default 'mod' in the forumhome template. So - Good. Installed.

In the old 3.0.x version I had a quickie that gave total starting every midnight (just a number, not user names) and I missed it when I upgraded to 3.5. The listing is kinda neat - So I have more than I had.

Thanks!

BTW- Great plugin! Installed.

[Paul M]

I was thinking the same thing (except visited in last 24 hours)!!


Anyone?Um, are you asking what I think ? i.e. to display the visitors for the last 24 hours ?

This already has that feature, hence it's title ........ (Today or last 24 hours).

[Paul M]

How would I go about increasing this to count all the users who visited in the last 48 hours??You would edit the plugin & edit the appropiate phrase. The times when you hover over a person would become a bit meaninless so maybe edit them as well to add the date. If your not confident enough in your programming skills to do this then I suggest you leave it as is.

Yes, Gary's version did do this, and I did also release an add-on hack (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=81167) to my version in 3.0.x that did this if you wanted it (it also worked for my posters and flashchat hacks, as well as splitting the general users online into members and guests). I have ported the same add-on for 3.5 but it's not released on the vb org site.

At our site we have usually over 1400+ registered members visits at one today so i we think that it was better to make "[vB 3.5.0] Members who have visited the forum (Today or last 24 hours)." display the visited users in a new page instead of the "What's Going On?" box.

This is the end of your Plugin code.
So you are checking if the display is enabled, and if the User is member of a usergroup that is allowed to view it.
Now, if it turns out that display is disabled or the user ist not allowed to view, you've already done the query and processing ...

But you are still doing checks at the end for the display if it shows or not. The queries are still being run for that before you check, right?

[EvilHawk]

The last check is for checking if the product is enabled or not , if paul do the same modification to the product code no querries will be executed!

Thanks for checking it out Ncturnal. I've cleared the cache in IE, logged out and back in again but it still does not appear in IE (version 6 on XP SP2) once logged in. But if it can be seen by you then I'm at a loss! I've got another forum member checking it too as they had the same problem.

There is only one style so I can rule that out too :rolleyes:

Would pasting the code into the forumhome template twice cause this?

[steven s]

Would pasting the code into the forumhome template twice cause this?Yes it would as it did with me. I upgraded the plugin and forgot to remove the old edits. I got so fouled up that I ended up reverting the FORUMHOME template and started all over. Now everything is good.

[athoob]

THank you .. Installed :D

[Paul M]

Version 4.10 uploaded.

This version removes the need to edit the FORUMHOME template.

To upgrade from version 3.xx to version 4.10 you need to delete the existing plugin and remove the template code in FORUMHOME - then upload the new product. To upgrade from version 4.xx to version 4.10 you need to uninstall the product and remove the template code in FORUMHOME - then upload the new product.

Great job. 4.02 didn't work for me, but 4.10 works great.

Juat my 2 cents, but this hack is one of the ones that my members like the most.

Thanks for the great work.

[Arsenik]

How do we change the display? What template/where do this needs to be changed?

edit: the template is Display_Visitors

To quickly place the template where you want simply remove <!-- end logged-in users --> from where it currently is... put <!-- end logged-in users --> where you want this hacks informations to be placed because it uses <!-- end logged-in users --> in order to know where to put it... (search and replace)

[Paul M]

or change what it looks for ......

[Snake]

Paul I've a little request. Could you add the "Most members ever online in one day was 33, last accomplished on March 11th, 2005." to the hack as well? That would be cool.

How can I edit where this shows up in the template? I was able to do it with 3.0.x but I don't know how the plugin system works...basically I want to put this on top of 'Currently Active Users'

don't harm why? it would be a mad thing would stand if there as much user and as many guests greeting jo

In that you will see a line like this ;



Code:

Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

installed it... super :)

[vprp]

Thanks for the hack!

The problem is, I show the online users and stats box on a sidebar on my forum page.

Is there a way to have the online in past 24 hours list display by itself without the online users box? I used to do this with the old hack when I had to edit the template but can't figure it out now.

[jokerz]

Perfectly fine and easy to use. Good job, thanks for sharing :D

1. In FORUMHOME, find where you want this hack to appear, and put a line like this in the template.

If necessary, edit the "Display_Visitors" template to suit.

[AtoZ]

Great hack!

I, too, had used an old hack to only display the number. Rather than use the instructions above, I did this... It just seemed simpler to me for what I was trying to accomplish.

1. I added $whodesc $totaltoday to the FORUMHOME template.

2. I opened the Display_Visitors template, and commented it out:
<!-- after <!-- who has visited -->
and
--> before <!-- end who has visited -->

[SlipNslide281]

Works great but why can only certain usergroups see it? I have some usergroups that can see it and some that can't. Unregisterd users can see it too.

What request ?

[admin0]

Installed and works great

[joeychgo]

Thanks Paul - installed on all my 3.5 forums -- again :)

[Snake]

What request ?

Forgotten already? Make the count number in bold and change the date format...

[Paul M]

Forgotten already?Apparently yes.

Make the count number in bold and change the date format...Sorry, but that sounds like code changes, not likely to be looked at for some time I'm afraid.

I am too busy with a few bits of paid work, my real job, and the forum I help run atm. Bug fixes and support of stuff 'as is' is likely to be the case for at least the next few weeks, and then it's xmas ......

[Oddish]

Thanks a lot for this. An idea would be to display the average number of visitors per day.

[roosevelt]

Paul M very nice mod you have there. I installed it and running it... good work :).

[sublime]

Running VB 3.5.1. Followed the steps below. Doesn't work. When I check 'show total number of active members' from the 'active members options' I get 'active members: 0'.

Please help, what am I doing wrong? While browsing the forums I recall you asking someone if they completed step three? But, there is no step three with the zip file that I downloaded...

I want to be able to display who has visited within the last 24 hours. Thanks!


Step 1.
Extract the XML file and import it into vBulletin as a product (using the ACP product manager).

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

o, 1 more thing, anyway you could make it so it uses commas? 2-3k members visited my forum daily so it reads 3000 instead of 3,000 for example. Nothing big, but yea just thought I throw that out there.

Separated it from the Whats Going On? box, which is at the top of our forums, and placed it at the bottom of our forums. I also used the mods to have a box collapsed as default, to some of our other boxes, like Who's In Chat, and Number of Registered Members Today, so they are collapsed as default.

[tormodg]

Wow...can it get any easier than this. Excellent.

[chrisisonfire]

This is great.

But one question. Is it possible to have the table collapsed as default? So that the members have to click on the expand button to see all the usernames. Because when you have 500+ members that have visited, the table is very very long. Any way to do this? Thanks

[Smitty]
