Visitors in the Last X Hours Module

[Felix2]

But noticing your panel there on top, why is there a giant block with wasted space to the right? I take it you have noticed that if the block is disabled this still occurs?

Yes. Started somewhere around 5.1.8
And DBTech has posted that they will provide no more support for vB5x because of the massive bugs and constant code changes breaking downward compatibility with nearly every release
As a programmer, and someone who has worked hard to keep vB functional, I feel their pain and anguish. To put so much work into something...
So, yes, I suspect I too would replace the module with one from Glen, so long as it offered the same features.

With Vb 5 Shout there are missing features. It's just a shout box, and the latest activity does not show up..... was informed of that after I purchased a license.

Sorry to hear about that. I have had to do a great deal of work to keep it going. Sadly, I have yet to find anything better. Some nice flash ones out there but most of my users are on mobile devices which are no longer supporting flash. It also isn't vB integrated.

I have done some code editing and have all 3 panels working again
Also, I have tested this on an Android tablet and 2 smart phones. All 3 devices show the Top Stats.

This still does not include Glen's new X Users in the past hour feature, but it is working far better.



I think I would add Glen's module after or within.

But without your @media query to hide it, the infopanel widget seems still not responsive.

[glennrocksvb]

You should hide the entire widget (using .infopanels-widget css rule) and not just the table cells inside the widget.

I'm using @media to display:none the Db infopanels on smaller resolutions.

I noticed DB's Info Panel is not responsive. It shows as a blank box in mobile and even in iPad portrait mode.

DBTech's X Stats Module does all that. It features 3 panes and several stats options to display as well as custom options.
The AdminCP menu is broke in 5.1.5 and above, but the AdminCP/Settings menu still works as do the modules.
And they use AJAX refresh to keep the stats up to date.
One can use the slightly buggy DBTech one or perhaps use it as the foundation for updating into a new one.

I wouldn't recommend Dragonbyte products to anyone. The products are all in beta, and your recommended product (infopanels) in particular has bugs despite being upgraded to the newest version. Db may make quality products for older versions of Vbulletin, but I think they are riding on that reputation alone when it comes to Vb 5.

However, I do use DB's infopanels on my activity page. But noticing your panel there on top, why is there a giant block with wasted space to the right? I take it you have noticed that if the block is disabled this still occurs? At least it does with Vb 5.2.4. Not to mention turning some blocks on or off results in nothing.

With Vb 5 Shout there are missing features. It's just a shout box, and the latest activity does not show up..... was informed of that after I purchased a license.

I do not want to run Db's infopanel or shoutbox on my main page, but I would like to run Glenn's mod. If Glenn would come up with something like infopanels for my activity page, I'd ditch all Db products and "never" give them another chance in the future. Last I went to them for support on their products, I was told I should downgrade to Vb4 or migrate over to Xenforo.

But I thank you for the recommendation!

Enjoy,
William

Hello Glenn,

I am interested in that rather than the first mod because it would really clean up the forum. If you take a peek towards your footer of this site it would be cleaned up. Just my opinion. I think your latest 24 hour mod is really neat. I'll purchase it until the second module is available, but I'll choose to run the combined module later.

Enjoy,
William

I would create that then as a separate module which would be a combination of Last Visitors Module and Statistics Module.

[William]

Hi Glenn,

What are the chances, since the module is in trial mode, to also combine the stats module. Show the latest member, max posts, most active, and max threads? It would clean up the column that it is posted in for sure, that is, instead of having two separate modules.

Enjoy,
William

This brings back the familiar feature from vB4, allowing users to see who recently visited your forum. Simple, lightweight, and fully integrated with the current vB 5 and 6 framework.

Features:

1. Displays the visitors in the last hours you configured. Defaults to last 24 hours.
2. Can display Usergroup Legend using the Username HTML Markup setting for each usergroup. (New in v1.12)
3. Can display avatars only, usernames only, or both. Displays avatars only by default.
4. Can display usernames using the "Username HTML Markup" option for usergroups in AdminCP.
5. Can exclude banned users.
6. Can show visitor count using the "Display Count?" module configuration.
7. Packaged as a Module. So you just drag and drop it onto the page using Sitebuilder.
8. Does not require editing existing templates.
9. Compatible with PHP 8.0 and 8.1.
10. Allow customization or translation of the visitor count message using the vbmods_last_visitors_count and vbmods_last_visitors_usergrouplegend_header phrase variables in the Phrase Manager.
11. Added module configuration to customize how avatars and/or username are displayed and the avatar size for desktop and mobile.

EDIT: Style Customizations below via CSS is no longer needed in v1.10 and up. To customize how the users are displayed in the module, edit the module configuration and configure "Display Type", "Avatar Size for Desktop" and "Avatar Size for Mobile" options. If you installed below CSS, you have to remove it first before installing v1.10 and up.

Style Customizations:
To display both the avatars and username at the same time, make sure to select Yes for the "Display Avatars?" option in the module configuration and then add the following CSS in css_additional template:

/* Last Visitors Module Avatars with Username - START */
.vbmodsthatrocks-last-visitors-widget .display-avatar {
    --lastVisitorAvatarSize: 100px; /* Avatar width and height on desktop */
    --lastVisitorAvatarColumnGapSize: 40px; /* Gaps between Avatar columns on desktop */
    --lastVisitorAvatarRowGapSize: 20px; /* Gaps between Avatar rows on desktop */
    --lastVisitorAvatarBorderRadius: 100%; /* Avatar border-radius on desktop and mobile */
    margin: 0 !important;
}
.l-small .vbmodsthatrocks-last-visitors-widget .display-avatar {
    --lastVisitorAvatarSize: 80px; /* Avatar width and height on mobile */
    --lastVisitorAvatarColumnGapSize: 20px; /* Gaps between Avatar columns on mobile */
    --lastVisitorAvatarRowGapSize: 10px; /* Gaps between Avatar rows on mobile */
}
.vbmodsthatrocks-last-visitors-widget .display-avatar .last-visitor-list {
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, var(--lastVisitorAvatarSize));
    justify-content: center;
    grid-column-gap: var(--lastVisitorAvatarColumnGapSize);
    grid-row-gap: var(--lastVisitorAvatarRowGapSize);
}
.vbmodsthatrocks-last-visitors-widget .display-avatar li {
    margin: 0;
    float: none;
}
.vbmodsthatrocks-last-visitors-widget .display-avatar .b-avatar {
    width: var(--lastVisitorAvatarSize);
    height: var(--lastVisitorAvatarSize);
    border-radius: var(--lastVisitorAvatarBorderRadius);
    margin: 0 !important;
}
.vbmodsthatrocks-last-visitors-widget .display-avatar .b-avatar:after {
    content: attr(title);
    display: block;
    text-align: center;
    word-break: break-word;
    width: calc(100% + var(--lastVisitorAvatarColumnGapSize));
    margin-left: calc(-1 * (var(--lastVisitorAvatarColumnGapSize)/2));
}
.vbmodsthatrocks-last-visitors-widget .display-avatar .b-avatar img {
    width: var(--lastVisitorAvatarSize);
    height: var(--lastVisitorAvatarSize);
    max-width: none !important;
    max-height: none !important;
    transform: none !important;
}
/* Last Visitors Module Avatars with Username - END */

Adjust the avatar size and other values accordingly. I added comments enclosed within /* */ in the CSS code to describe the CSS variables I introduced that you can edit.
[/code]

If you are using the Profile Preview Tooltip mod, then you need to add this extra CSS to prevent the username from disappearing when Profile preview tooltip appears.

.vbmodsthatrocks-last-visitors-widget .display-avatar .b-avatar[data-hasqtip][oldtitle]:after {
    content: attr(oldtitle);
}

To customize the style of the visitor count message like changing the font-size, font-weight, font-family or any style, you can add this CSS:

.vbmodsthatrocks-last-visitors-widget p {
    /* style here */
}

Compatibility:

• Compatible with vB5 and 6 (self-hosted)
• Not compatible with vBCloud

Version History:

• Fixed user display name issues when an account's username is different with displayname.
• Added support for module title translations for vB 6.1.2 and later.

v1.14

• Fixed broken avatars for all users without custom avatars in the Last X Visitors module if "Use Custom Default Avatar" option (Initials Avatar) is enabled in the User Profile Options.

v1.13

• Fixed missing css_b_avatar_username.css file that was actually not used by this mod. vB5 has a weird "bug" where if a mod used "b-avatarXXXX" CSS class where XXXX represents any characters, then vB5 automatically includes "css_b_avatarXXXX.css" file on the page for some reason.
• Enabled avatar/username link in this mod to work with vB5's Name Card feature.

v1.12

• Added Usergroup Legend section.

v1.11

• Fixed warning when editing and saving the Last Visitor module template in Style Manager.

v1.4

• Fixed blank module issue due to a typo in the module template.

v1.3

• Fixed blank module issue due to an incorrect code in the module template.
