Members who have visited the forum (Today or last 24 hours).

[Paul M]

This modification is no longer supported.
It will remain available for download and use, but the thread is no longer monitored.

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 (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=98887).

* If you want the WVT display on a seperate page - see this post (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showpost.php?p=954168) by EvilHawk - now updated to version 4.21.

* There is also a CMPS module (http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13431) that makes use of this plugin (by tgmorris).

This isn't working for me. It just shows " Total users that have visited today: 0" and an empty table.

[StarBuG]

After uploading the xml file I get a white page in the acp.
The plugin can be found in the Plugin Manager and is set to active.

On index.php however there is no change at all. :(

Hi,

This is not working for me as yet, I have done all the steps in the instructions, all I get is an empty table. Is this something to do with Hook Location? Does this need to be set at specific one?

thanks

[Paul M]

The hook location sets itself, are you sure you have plugins enabled ?

Hi,

Just redone the plugin and all is working okay now, just need to get used to doing something slightly different from previously.

I figured that, however, at the reset, I logged out and in under a few different usernames, and it didn't log it. The rolling list will work just fine though, it's what I was looking for anyhow.

Thanks again.

[grundybin]

I was looking for it to display users who have logged in since MIDNIGHT (00:00) on the same day...

[Paul M]

It works on the members last activity time, which is updated when ever they move from one area of the forum to another, I would have thought logging in updates this as well.

The display is actually calculated before your own activity is updated, so if you logged directly into the homepage, you would actually need to refresh the page before you saw yourself listed.

Indeed - I expected it to show me as a user who visited today, but then realised that it had already calculated it, then i refreshed and I appeared ;)

I'm sorry. I did all the steps in the install. The plugin is active and the system is on. It shows on the bottom of the page, however, the lists does not show any names.Okay, perhaps I should have been clearer, a blank table does not tell me what I need to know - the bit that says "Total members that have visited today: 2" - what number does it show at the end, after the colon ?

[Roxie]

It says 0. And there have been many visitors today.
Thanks.

[Paul M]

Can you please post a link to your site, and confirm that you are using version 3.20.

[Paul M]

Arrgggg - nevermind - I have just realised I made a stupid mistake on this latest upload (and possibly yesterdays as well) which may explain it. I have forgotten to convert $bbuserinfo to $vbulletin->userinfo on the user tz options. Delete the plugin you have and try the 3.25 version now uploaded. :)

[kylek]

Thanks Paul M,
Had me there for a minute, uploaded last version and had blank for members visited like Roxie, reuploaded new version and visitor numbers and names are back.

I will see if this new time zone calculation fixes my old problem.

I would use tho if say it only showed the number of members who visted today, rather than just the names or say the number of amount of members who visited today and youc lick the nnumber and boom it opens a window of the member names..

SatanDid you try refreshing the display ? if it's your first visit of the day, your last activity timestamp is updated after the hack runs. :)

If that doesn't work, check your timezone settings, including the server. FYI: I have a little debug plugin that checks the TZ settings, but it's at home, and I'm at work.

[Chris M]

I know about the "first visit of the day" - I can assure you it is not that ;)

This plugin adds a simple display of all members who have visited the forum 'today' (i.e. since midnight).

<snip>

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.

you could make it so it shows the day

i wonder if this is getting members on the forum since midnight using my gmt settings... say my forum is at gmt -6, and my server is gmt, is the " since midnight users" being taken using gmt -6? it seems its resetting the list at my gmt midnight, but it shows alot of people that im not sure they visited after that

[Paul M]

I don't quite follow you, but for each user, it should reset at their midnight.

their midnight? can I change it to the forum midnight?

If you do this then you can comment the $tz line and the $now line as they will not be used for this if you go and use the forums time.

[Boofo]

You do realise the original version resets each midnight ?

If we uncomment the line for 24 hours rolling do we need to comment out the line before it?

Also, does this work according to the user's midnight or the server's?

[Paul M]

If we uncomment the line for 24 hours rolling do we need to comment out the line before it? No, it simply over-rides the lines above.

Also, does this work according to the user's midnight or the server's?Each users midnight.

[Boofo]

No, it simply over-rides the lines above.

Each users midnight.

Thank you, sir. Excellent!

[Paul M]

Just one small point - the two questions are mutually exclusive.

If you uncomment the 24 hr option then obviously the midnight question is irrelevant (or vice versa). :)

Not really. The server time is 6 hours off of my timezone. So knowing if it is set to server midnight or usertime midnight is a relevant question. ;)

I uncommented the 24 hour roll-over code and it isn't rolling over now like it should. I have 2 vistors from yesterday still showing up and online today.I am assuming you have read the previous post and have the correct version, not the one using $now.

Other than that I don't understand what your problem is. You are bound to see visitors from yesterday since it goes back 24 hours (so at 6pm today, you will have visitors back to 6pm yesterday).

I thought it changed at the user's midnight. I am using the latest version 3.31.You seem to be confusing two options. It can run in one of two modes.

1. Members who visited today (i.e. from midnight) - which is the default as supplied.

2. Members who visited in the last 24 hours - which requires you to uncomment an extra line.

You appear to have uncommented the line for mode 2, but are expectiing mode 1.

ok, I have to be doing something wrong here :)

I have altered the forumhome template and it shows the table and header okay ( but with no number after the colon )

I have installed the plugin and it all says it is installed correctly. plugin is active and plugins are turned on in Vb options.

But table is empty, no number after the colon on the title bar, and when I refresh the page it gives a parse error that disappears so quickly I cannot read it.

If I turn off plugins in options then the parse error does not appear.

Any ideas ?

<edit>
Parse error says
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/graham/public_html/index.php(63) : eval()'d code on line 2

anyone ?

Hi!
This is very useful.
I´m not an expert, so I must ask:
If I want more than one usergroupid, what is the code?

[Snake]

Just add the group ID right next to the number "6".

ie: 6,7,8,9

So the final code will look like:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6,7,8,9">

Although I am NOT sure so backup your file(s) before proceeding.

[socalsoccer]

hook location is adminstart the first one.

[Paul M]

What is the url of your site ?

[Paul M]

hook location is adminstart the first one.Um - are you saying that the plugin is showing this as it's hook ? [since it's wrong]. If so, I would try deleting it and re-loading the plugin again.

[socalsoccer]

socalsoccer.com

it selests that hook for you when adding the plugin

[socalsoccer]

you have to have a plugin location after Vbulletin product in RC2.

[socalsoccer]

Tryed again but still no 0, just collapsible table. Does this work with RC2?

[Paul M]

Tryed again but still no 0, just collapsible table. Does this work with RC2?Yep, it works fine. I have uploaded the plugin for you. I can only guess that the xml file you have is corrupted.

[Rat1972]

Invalid File Specified is error i get
\

Same here...

[Paul M]

It is a plugin, not a product - you will get that error if you try and upload it as a product (via the product manager).

[Rat1972]

Stupid of me!
Thanx paul

[Xplorer4x4]

Thansk Paul. Been using it for awhile now and just realized you updated it to be "Dynamic" (method 2). I would recomend making note of EXACTLY what variable to edit in your main post to save you alot of trouble of explaining which line to delete. Just a thought. ;)

[Paul M]

Sorry, but I'm a bit confused as to what you are talking about.

[Xplorer4x4]

The term used for method 2 where it does not reset is called "dynamic" I believe.

As far as the other part, meh forget it, not important.

Now I have problem however. I want to make this dynamic(method 2/Does not reset) so i edited his variable out of the plug in:


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


And it still reset at midnight. Suggestions?

Is there a code so I can get the visitor in order:
Administrators(6), Moderators(7), Special members(9) and than the others?

No suggestions?

When you say you edited it out, what do you mean exactly ? All you should do to it is uncomment it, i.e. remove the two slashes at the start, not the whole line.

[Paul M]

No suggestions?Nope - there is no easy way to sort it like that.

Ohhhhhhhh no wonder it didn't work. :o

Thanks Paul. Goes to UNCOMMENT. :-p

[Xplorer4x4]

Ok I uncomented the line like you said. I removed the 2 slahses at the begining of the line. It STILL reset.

Any more ideas?

Yep, that's what I wanted to see. There is nothing wrong with it, and there is no way that can reset at midnight. It will display a rolling 24 hours.

[Xplorer4x4]

Yep, that's what I wanted to see. There is nothing wrong with it, and there is no way that can reset at midnight. It will display a rolling 24 hours.

I wish that was the case. :( As I said it is resetting at midnight.I tried your method for 2 nights and it didn;t work so i had tried doing some edits. I have this code here installed, so let me give it a shot again tonight. It is possible I made a mistake the last time, but I really don't see how.

[Paul M]

Are you sure you haven't put the code in twice or something (or installed the plugin more than once) ?

The last line in what you posted is "$cutoff = TIMENOW - 86400" which quite simply is the current time - 86400 seconds (24 hours). There is simply no way it can do anything else.

[BamaStangGuy]

I seem to be having a problem...

If I am logged in as an admin I see 6 people have visited today...

If I log out and view it as a guest... just 3 people have visited today...

What is going on here?

I have reuploaded the xmp file and recopied the template code and it still does it. Regular members also see 3 people, while I see 6

[JoyB]

Perhaps the other three members are in invisible mode which would explain why you can't see them if you've viewing as a guest? :)

I really couldn;t tell you exactly where the problem lied, all I knwo is that I deleted the plug in. I reinstalled it. I uncomented the // variables and it apears to be working just fine now.

And to the post baove, when you are logged in as an admin, check to see if the names that are disapearing have an * next to them.

[BamaStangGuy]

Ok it was timezones :)

Sorry its a new board and I was the first user. I guess I was the only one stuck on GMT and then I changed it to GMT -6 after that but didnt catch my own profile

haha oops

[Anette]

Installed and working fine :)



Jupp work just fine!

[sajjid]

it is very nice hack i have installed but one thing i think would look better is where it says total users visted today the bottom maybe it would be better suited if changed to total members visited today, because if you think lot more guests visit therefore that cannot be totol users.
if its ok with you paul i have edited the forumhome template.

[Paul M]

You can edit the text to what you like. :)

[ryuuchida]

Thanks very much for this hack. Couldn't get easier than this to install. :)

[GoNz00]

installed and working great thanks.

1 question..

is there anything i can change in the code to make the box collapsed as default ?

thanks :)

[Andreas]

Code optimization (?) suggest:

forumhome_complete


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

[BamaStangGuy]

Why change from start to complete?

When I use that code it still shows the number of people that vistsed today correctly, but it only lists me by username and no one else.

Ex. Total Users Visited Today: 121

and I am the only one listed, no one else.

Edited my post with feedback on the change

I´ll try again....

I change the code in the plugin to:


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


now I see the users order by usergroups.
There must be an easy way to set the usergroups in order 6,7,9,2,1
??????????????

[Paul M]

Code optimization (?) suggest:

forumhome_complete

What you have to remember is that my hacks are written for Cable Forum and released here afterwards simply to share them - they run the way they do mostly for specific reasons - and this runs on forumhome_start for a reason. :)

I guess it also depends on what you mean by 'optimization' - using those functions may reduce the code in the hack slightly, but the functions themselves have a lot of code in them, much of which is not necessary to this hack. It is also generic code I use elsewhere, and would require me to load things like functions_bigthree.php.

So, while I thank you for your suggestion - I don't intend to make any changes atm - but I will look at it to see if any of your changes/ideas would suit me in the future, especially when I convert my hacks from plugins to products (at which point I will phrase them as well) - in fact you are the second person to use a trick which I indend to look at to avoid the template edit. :up:

@BrentWilson - while you are free to use the above suggestion - I will not support it, as it's not my code - sorry.

[okc]

Great hack - could you tell me how to remove the link to the users so that there name only appears, but does not give a link to that member?

[Andreas]

I guess it also depends on what you mean by 'optimization' - using those functions may reduce the code in the hack slightly, but the functions themselves have a lot of code in them
That's the reason why I marked it with a '?' :)
The way I did it is close to how vBulletin itself does it, and I assume that way is optimized for Performance, although it might have more Code.
But on the other Hand, the Query gets a Bit lighter as it does not invlove joins.
Although there is less code to eval().
But as said, I am not sure if this has an impact on Performance - it was just a thought :)

[okc]

Kirby - do you happen to know the answer to my question above regarding providing only usernames & no links to the users who have visited? thx

[Andreas]

That's easy - just edit the Plugin Code so it does not create Links.

[okc]

I know it's here in the index.php, but how exactly do I change it - thx for your help:

$whotoday .= "<a href='member.php?u=$today[userid]' title='$wrdate' >";
if ($today['visible'] == 2)
{
$whotoday .= $today['opentag'].$today['username'].$today['closetag']."</a>*, ";
}
else
{
$whotoday .= $today['opentag'].$today['username'].$today['closetag']."</a>, ";

Why are you looking in idex.php to modify a plugin?

Open your Plugin Manager and remopve the hyperlink code around the name

from my old asp-world :nervous: :


Code:

or one more field in vb3_usergroups ("list_order")where I can put my usergroups in MY order and use that table in sql :nervous:

forget it, I installed this one for 3.0.8 which didn't have the index.php mod. I got it working thanks to Paul M's signature!

I get invalid file specified...

Upload it as a plugin, not a product. :)

Ok, I'll try it. Thanks.

[evesve]

Just add the group ID right next to the number "6".

ie: 6,7,8,9

So the final code will look like:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6,7,8,9">

Although I am NOT sure so backup your file(s) before proceeding.

Now I have used that code, but it wont work.

I have tryed other like ';' etc but nothing helps.

Other tip?

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6"> is no problem!

Nope - you use the upload/download plugins section.

anyway to make this viewable by admins only?

Can I make it so that it is collapsed by default? We get thousands of users and this would stretch the page out a lot.
