This thread is in the Modification Graveyard.
This modification is no longer available or supported. Something that has been repeatedly asked in the "Members who visited today" modifications (all versions) is a similar way to track the number of guests that have visited a forum each day. This isn't possible in stock vbulletin as no record is kept of guest visits, they are a 'realtime' display only. I've therefore finally got round to looking at the issue and produced this modification. This will add (another) section to the "What's Going On" area. The data is kept in a new table so it should be possible for other uses to be made of it (or display it in other ways). A screenshot of the current display is attached. Options / Features ; * The ability to turn it on/off. * The ability to turn just the display on/off. * The ability to allow (or prevent) certain usergroups viewing the display. * The ability to run the display code on all pages (not just forumhome). * The ability to switch between 'Today' and Rolling 24 Hours display (default). * The list of guests can be set to be always collapsed on initial view. * The script that the Guest is running is logged (e.g. showthread, usercp etc). * The request variables in use are logged (e.g. threadid, userid etc). * The guest table can be cleaned of old records to help control it's size. * Controls for the displays automatic template update. * The datastore read (for spider detection) will read from the File/APC/Memcache/Xcache datastore [if used]. Version 1.19+ * Guest Views data collection - tracking each guests viewing of the forum index page, forums and threads. * Guest Views data collection can be separately disabled. * Multiple guest visits to the same page are logged separately. * Clicking on a Guest type in the main display will list all recent visits by guests of that type. * Clicking on the option in the guest listing will show that guests viewing data (if enabled). * Usergroup permissions are now done with the standard vbulleten usergroup permissions system. Four new usergroup permissions are provided in the usergroup manager. * Can View the Guests Visited Display - Members can view the guests visited display on Forumhome. * Can View Guest IP Addresses - Members can see the ip addresses of visiting guests. * Can View Guest Visits List - Members can view the list of guest visits page. * Can View Guest Tracking Data - Members can view the individual guest visit tracking page. Version 1.22+ The option to keep a record of [and display] the most ever guests has been added - this used to be provided by a seperate add-on product. * All (non usergroup) modification settings are in vBulletin Options > Guest Tracking. To install ;
You can get an improved Spiders Definition file, that recognises many more spiders, from this post.

Where they have been is not recorded, I guess a future version may be able to record the last thread or post they visited (not sure how feasible that is atm). It will never record all the places a guest visits, that would just be insane.

I have a problem with the mod. I can see the SQL table updating with visitors but there is nothing displayed on my front page.
I have the 'What's going on" section, but the whole piece for visitors is missing. My Settings: Enable - Yes Spiders - Yes Collapse - No Tracking - No Groups - 0 I'm using the standard vbulleting template with no theme changes. No members have liked this post.

Works perfect.
The only thing I need to see if I can change or if you can offer a place to look. I have your flashchat users script installed as well. I think both place their own block automatically below the members online section. I'd like to have the guest show up under the members, then the flashchat. Would it be simple enough to change the order of execution for those two plugins, make the guests one execute before the flashchat one? **EDIT** Got it.. Changed execution order for Guest Tracking plugin using the forumhome_start hook. Now the Guest block shows up before the FlashChat Users block. Thanks again for all your great hacks. They really give you a lot of information in the What's Going On section. No members have liked this post.

Paul, you have your two hacks
1) Most ever visitors, posters, chatters and 2) Split the most ever members and guests I think the code is there is the second one. But I don't know enough to try and combine it into one or make it on my own. I'd love the ability in the new Total Number of Guests that have visited today section to have a line that reads the most guests ever. Like in the first hack. I think this was mentioned as a request already, but when I went reading through the thread I didn't see it. It isn't a major function that is needed, just would look nice to have it like the other blocks your hacks provide. No members have liked this post.

![]() I can't think of a way to reproduce that problem, but there was a potential clash of variable names between the two, which I have eliminated in v1.04 (now uploaded).
