Whos viewing which forum

[XanTrax]

As seen in WoltLab Burning Board forums (WBB, I think thats the one). It would show each member that was viewing that forum section and if it was guests it would say how many guests. So for example...

Forum Title
Forum Description
Users Viewing: Member1, Member2, Member3, Member4, 10 guests

For example like that. I am sure there is a simple way since vBulletin by default has the number of people viewing so Im sure there is a simple way to get the exact users viewing it and print their names.

For 3.5.2, if anyone has it or has done it or what not.

By the way I DID search for this but I couldnt come up with anything so if there is already this modification out dont hate me :tired:. I searched through about 5 pages.

Well, that's standard vBulletin functionality.
Just enable it in your admincp: -> vBulletin Options -> vBulletin Options -> Forum Display Options (forumdisplay) set "Show Users Browsing Forums" to Yes :)

OR do you mean you want to see this on your forumhome?

[XanTrax]

On forum home underneath each forum title and description :).


For an example see the attached screenshot. It is a screenshot of a WBB forums forum index/home and you can see how it says

"Users Browsing this forum: Gomer"

I actually like that idea. I'll look into it, see if I can get it going.

Well since by default vBulletin says "Forum Title (X users viewing)" I dont think it would be to hard to modify it to make it say the user names. Of course I could never do it, but for you all im sure its easy work.

Any luck Tim or anyone else?

[.Tim]

No luck but then again I haven't had a lot of time to spend on it.

Well if you get it please, please, please PM me or release it. If you have a general mod of this working and dont want to release it please PM me it.
