XF 1.5 Show number viewing forum on homepage (like VB 3.8)

[HomerJ]

Just wondering if there's an option in the ACP that will show the number of users viewing each forum on the homepage? Like Vbulletin 3.8 does. Example can be seen here: https://www.vbulletin.org/forum/index.php - it shows (x Viewing) next to each forum section.

TIA

There's nothing built in for that - it would require an add-on, if one exists, otherwise custom development.

99% Sure I have seen this for XF1 although I do not think it was here, I saw it actually on an XF1 site, so it does exist but it is possible that it was custom written for that site, which I cannot recall as it was possibly nearly a year or so ago. I am not aware of an XF2 addon to do this but I only did a very cusory search.

@Xon's User Activity mod does this

e.g. https://thumped.com/bbs/forums/-/list

Ah perfect, thanks for the replies!

Well, I did not think an add-on like that would be so complicated to setup.

Edit: Ignore, latest version works right out of the box! Lovely add-on.
