The current online users only shows those users that have logged onto your board and have a valid session. Once the session has expired or they logoff then the member will no longer be displayed in the list.

This hook adds a list of users that have been online in the past x hours and you can also add an optional group legend.

The hook is highly configurable using settings in the ACP.

See the screenshot for the settings and the hook in action

Is it possible to remove the statement/info



on the forum?

(in the past xx hours)

 


 from the 

xx online member(s) (in the past xx hours) 

Not sure why as that is the purpose to show how many members have been online in the past xx hours.

You would need to edit the board index skin in the ACP and the template bit of hookGetOnline.

Remove the parts I have put in bold red.

<if test="hookGetOnline:|:count($stats['NAMES']) and $hours=sprintf($this->lang->words['hookpast_hours'],$this->settings['hookonline_hours'] )">
<div id='hookonline_users' class='stats_list'>
<h2>{$stats['MEMBERS']} {$this->lang->words['hookonline_members']} <span>$hours</span></h2>

Please add "Most members ever online" similar in Members Online Today 1.0.0
Thank you ;)

My forum has many invisible groups. We have lots of hidden private forums that most member don't need to see or know about (individual team forums for leagues we run) and would not want these displayed in the legend. I do not see any way in the screenshot to control which groups are shown in the legend and which aren't. Is there a way to do that?

In 3.0.4 the various groups all display with the same colour i.e. the legend is the same colour. I've had to uninstall the hook as this was the main reason of installing it.

Yes that was added but the screenshot has not been updated.

There is a new setting that has a dropdown list of groups that are to be shown.

I have just upgraded to 3.0.4 and cannot reproduce this issue.

Can you check the settings at that you have Group legend show prefix/suffix set to Yes.

The problem was my end. I didn't realize I also had to set up colours for user groups. You might want to mention this in the install instructions.

Hello

Is there a maximum number of hours in the setup of your hook?

(Can we set it up to 1000 hours ?)

Agreed :) ... Any chance this could be added in m8? This is an excellent mod, so cheers for that :)

Set the following to any integer you want but bear in mind the higher the value then the more work the hooks has to do and the bigger the list will be displayed.

Hello,
Is it possible to change the group legend sort key or just to turn it off ? I'd like to sort groups manually.

Regards,
haerde

I have 3.1 Board and I'm using this hook right now. I don't see any problems or issues so far. I'll post if any problems occur.

And I like to thank the developer for the hook, really nice feature. :)

Thank you.

New version uploaded now that allows the group legend order to be customised so you can display in any order you like.

Hey Robert, how and where is it displayed ? You posted only screenshots from settings. :)

EDIT: NVM; just installed.

            <h2>24 online member(s) <span>(in the past 24 hours)</span></h2>


                <p>

                    <span class='name'><span style='white-space:nowrap;'<a href='http://www.*****.net/forum/user/****/' title='08:35 AM'><span style='color:darkgreen'>****</span></a></span>, </span>
