[inciarco]

Magnific Add-On!! :up:

Works Ok With vBulletin 3.6.6!! :up:

:)

[Been Told]

Paul... Have I told you lately that I love you? :D
This is just soooo nice! And NO template edits! I LOVE YOU!!!!

[Archangelwu]

sorry all..

I install Members who have read a thread have get problem..

error message:

Bitfield Collision: canglobalstickthreads = caneditcate

can help me fix it?

my vbb ver is 3.6.4
thank all

[Paul M]

Nope I cannot help you, that message has nothing to do with this modification, you have two other mods clashing with each other.

[kollam003]

wonderful hack installed

Thanks

[Braddock]

Hello,

i installed this hack and it works fine.
Now i want to change the Displaylanguage. Who have read this Thread should be changed in Wer hat diesen Thread gelesen.
Where can i do this. I´m a poorly beginner, so please help!

[Silvio]

Paul, ty again for ur great work - I am using it with great sattisfaction.

I discovered that if I merge 2 threads, then the last 'read' wont be merged correctly (and I suppose not even cleared on dbase) , infact the last read datas of a single user would be the last one on the first (oldest) thread. (wont be collected datas from the second - newer - thread)

Is this as projected, or is something I did wrong during installation or is an issue and if so is it fixable?

Tks so much for ur patience and apologises for my bad 'itanglish' :p

Take care, regards

ciao

P.s. I am using Members who have read thread 3.38 on vB 3.6.7PL1

Edited : would really be of help and great the possibility to use this script also to know who read 'Global announcements' is this possible or is there another hack?

[Paul M]

There is no code in this mod to merge the thread read data if threads are merged. Also, this only works for threads, not announcements - I'm not aware of any mod that works on announcements.

[Silvio]

Ty for reply Paul,

lol then that was an hint :p:p:p for the new version lol:up:

take care

[julia44]

:up: thanks!

[adonfun]

Thanks! Will install it on 3.6.7 :)

installed ... thanks !!

[LordMike]

Hi,

I Love this hack and been using this for a while now, but now I have a little problem.

I use this hack to see what threads are visited on my forum, but isn't it possible if I click a user that is shows wich threads they have visited ? or something like that, maybe in the search like thanked posts, just show wich posts the user has viewed, thanks in advance,

Mike

[Paul M]

That isn't a feature atm, but I am considering it.

[RedGTiVR6]

Glancing through the description, I don't see this specifically mentioned so I might as well ask:

Is there a way to limit this to specific forums of my choosing?

EDIT: reading through some of the thread, I see where this feature is not implemented. We have a very busy forum, if I activate this on our forum, I have a feeling we will have problems if it's run on EVERY forum and sub-forum. I'd like to run this ONLY in our support sub-forums so I can see which users and staff members have seen the bug reports so we have some kind of accountability.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=91409

In this mod there is this post:

exclude by forum-ID in that way:
visible in forums 2, 3, 4:
<if condition="in_array($forumid, array(2, 3, 4))">
<!-- Code of this Hack -->
</if>

Perhaps this would work if added to the template? Though I don't see that there are any direct template changes made unless they are done by the install of the .xml file?

[oicyu8chu]

Thanks, installed and works perfectly.

Your forum looks to be about as busy as ours, and we run it without any issues in all forums (we have about 12 months of data now).

There are no template edits, the display is injected into the page dynamically.

Thanx PAUL M - very nice modification & should help with getting peeps to comment on threads! One question: Where are the settings at? Can't see any in Thread Display Options...

/me clicks install

Jacquii.

[Paul M]

The setting are in vbulletin options.

[xenon58]

thanks for a great Mod Paul. I've clicked on istalled, but ...

while installing this on my forum, my pc decided to do a reboot all of a sudden, while in the process of installing. once i got that issue sorted, i went to ACP to check if it was installed or not, and of course Who read the thread was not one of the options, so I've decided to install it again, and used overwrite option while doing so. The process started, but here is what I get

Cleaning up rougue settings
Installing Table
Data Copy - Processing 1199 Records
Processed 1000 Records

and nothing else is going on after that. no pages are loaded, everything just stays at that page. So if I go back to ACP-Options, there is no entry for Who read this thread, and of course no option to uninstall in the products page.

Can you please tell me how can I fix this? Is there a way to remove this manually and re-install from scratch? I swear I dont know what to do with this.

thnx in advance for the time and help.

[Paul M]

For some reason it's failing to process your threadread table. I cannot really guess as to why, perhaps you have very low memory settings.

Since it obviously managed the first 1000 okay you could simply edit the product XML slightly to limit it to 1000 records.

Around line 47 of the XML you should see a line that ends with LIMIT 10000 - change that to LIMIT 1000 and then try again.

[xenon58]

thank you very much for your quick respond, I do appreciate it.

I've followed your advise, and its line #45 to be exact (not to make fun of you, but in case someone else will be looking for it) and I did changed it to 1000. Unfortunately, here is what I've got ...

Cleaning up rougue settings
Installing Table
Data Copy - Processing 1000 Records


I was thinking maybe I should manually delete whoread table, and see if I would be able to re-install it, but is it the only table that is created and responsible for this mod, or there are others?

thanks again for the time and help, it is greatly appreciated

[Paul M]

I've followed your advise, and its line #45 to be exact (not to make fun of you, but in case someone else will be looking for it) and I did changed it to 1000
That's actually quite interesting, because it's most definitely line 47.

So, either you are manually counting and made a mistake, or the file you have is somehow corrupt. Please download the zip again and re-extract the file. Having done that, confirm that you have 586 lines in total, and that line 47 is this ;

$data = $vbulletin->db->query_read_slave("SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."threadread ORDER BY readtime DESC LIMIT 10000");

i stand corrected, you are right, it is line #47. I've opened it in another editor, and used a command to show line numbers, it is a 47 indeed.

$data = $vbulletin->db->query_read_slave("SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."threadread ORDER BY readtime DESC LIMIT 1000");


As I've mentioned above, I did changed the number to a 1000, but still no go. Can you please tell me if the idea of manually removing whoread table from db and reinstalling this mod again might fix the issue? Again, thanks a lot for the time and help

[Paul M]

I can't see that your suggestion would make any difference, please PM me an admin login to your forum so I can look at what is happening.

[xenon58]

Paul, sorry for being quet, was out for a weekend. I see that I forgot to mention the fact that this was a local install, but nonetheless, I will try to install this on my live forum and see whats going on. At this point I cant access my local forum because of a hw failure, so I'm thinking maybe something was going on there while I was trying to figure out why it didnt install. As soon as I have it installed, I will post here.

Again, thank you very much for your time and help, it is greatly appreciated.

[EDIT]

As promissed, here is a small report. Once I've got everything re-installed and fixed and all that good stuff, I've tried again to install this hack. It didnt go again, same error as above, so I've followed your tip and made a change to a LIMIT. This time, instead of 1000, I went with a 100, and it got installed and it works perfectly. Thank you again for your time and help.

all the best!

[beduino]

Hello,
In my style default the hack works, but in other [customized] no.
I read we can edit templates manually.
Where are the instructions? [which templates and how edit ...]
Tks in advance,
Beduino

[Paul M]

It would be impossible to write instructions for customised templates as the very fact they are custom means I cannot know what they contain.

[beduino]

Hello Paul,
In fact i solve this now - you tell in admincp to search

<!-- end currently active users -->

In SHOWTHREAD template.
In my style the coder change a little and... [probably] you hack don't find .

I change and add this line of commentary in template and all works fine
Tks for your reply
Beduino

Are you sure you meant 3.5.6 ? - you would have had the 3.5version of this installed, this is the 3.6 version.

Perhaps you have a custom style, or have not set the usergroup display options ?

I have haylazblue installed and have made some modifications to it.

[Paul M]

This looks for the <!-- end currently active users --> comment in the showthread template, I'm guessing this doesn't exist in your custom style.

[edytwinky]

Is there a certain spot I should enter this on my template?

[Paul M]

Wherever you want the modification to be displayed.

[edytwinky]

I'm not too familiar with how the templates file work but I'd like for it to be displayed underneath the actual posts like how the original mod is set up.

[DudeSicko]

Yeah sorry i upped from 3.5 to 3.6.8, and do i then need to update the code, or can i just keep it as it is from my older version?

I can't help with specific custom styles. The very fact they are custom means I have no knowledge of their contents.

Well as far as I can remember, both old versions will work on 3.6, but a number of new 'features' have been added to the 3.6 version.

[Paul M]

<u>Changes in 3.39</u>

Clicking on a user will now display a page of their thread viewing history, starting from the most recent thread read and working backwards. Upgrading is only necessary if you want to use this feature.

[aciurczak]

Love the threadview feature! But there is a catch. It doesn't filter out thread titles from forums that the current user does not have permissions to. So if they click on a user with more privileges, they see thread titles in protected forums. If they click on the thread titles, they are appropriately blocked, but keeping the titles from showing on the list would be cleaner.

You can't run this on 3.5, it's written for 3.6, and uses functions not found in 3.5.

[Nathan2006]

Thank you for the update Paul :)

Is there anyway to have the clickable username history for admins only please?

Thanks for any help :)

[aciurczak]

Updated. Thanks Paul, it's now successfully accounting for user permissions on the thread titles, I appreciate the effort. (and the mouseover is working again as well).

I should have mentioned before you updated it that a useful addition would be to have a configurable sort of the usernames. The first thing I do is change the "ORDER BY" clause to sort by whoread.dateline instead of username, as then people can see easily who came to the thread at what time at a glance, rather than mousing over each one of them, or having to hit the view all link to bring up a separate window. Others might prefer the stock ordering of alphabetical username list. But best of all worlds would be for that to just be another choosable parameter within the admin control panel, rather than requiring a code edit, even though it is such a tiny edit each time.

[ericgtr]

Thanks for the update Paul. For some reason when I click on the username it takes me to this URL http://www.guitarblast.com/showthread.php/misc.php?do=wrviews&u=10 Not sure why it's adding the /showthread.php in there.

[Paul M]

Your browser is being weird.

I'm not planning any more changes to this atm, maybe in the future, but I also don't want to overwhelm it with options.

[ericgtr]

Your browser is being weird.


Then it's weird in IE6 on one PC and IE7 on the other. Time to revert.

[habasabi]

Updated..THANKS. I agree w/ Nathan.. if there is any way, in the future, to add the clickable user history to be admins only.. that would be awesome!

[Paul M]

Then it's weird in IE6 on one PC and IE7 on the other.

It works for me using IE6, IE7 and FF, and showthread.php is obviously not being added to the link by the mod (otherwise it wouldn't work for anyone).

If it's not your browser then I guess it must be something on your forum that is intefering.

Hi

Thanks for this nice hack. I have a wish:
Restrict the display to certain forums

Regards, Stoebi

[edytwinky]

Does this work with all templates including hand made ones?

[Paul M]

You need to be more specific.

It may not insert the display into your templates automaticly [by default] if your style is custom, but there are settings you can alter to cater for this (and you may need to tweak your style template).

[Chadi]

I think there is a php 5 specific bug in this mod.

I upgraded to php 5 today and was not able to view any threads at all.

I get this when attempting to view threads

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type vB_Session as array in /home/user/public_html/showthread.php(1963) : eval()'d code on line 35

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('showthread_complete')) ? eval($hook) : false;

Thats like 1963 from showthread.php

I disabled every plugin one by one, still go the error

Then, I unchecked (disabled) in plugin hooks this line:

Who Viewed This Thread? / showthread_complete

After I did that, everything on my forum was normal, odd enough even the who viewed this thread STILL shows up fine in thread view. I do not understand, but perhaps you can debug this.

[ENF]

I have been using the new beta version with 0 errors thus far.

Turned out to be nice tool, thank so much.

.
Fatal error: Cannot use object of type vB_Session as array in /home/user/public_html/showthread.php(1963) : eval()'d code on line [B]35



We run php 5 without any issues.

The showthread_complete hook in this is mod is where the 'whoread' table is updated (as you are viewing the thread). There is nothing in it (or indeed the entire mod) related to vB_Session, so I think your problem must be elsewhere.


I have been using the new beta version with 0 errors thus far.


It's not really a beta, but glad it's okay for you :)

[Chadi]

Isn't it odd that after disabling every product one by one, the error persisted but once I disabled this hook everything worked fine?

How would I actually debug the ultimate cause of the error once I re-enable that hook?

[rainyleaves]

Thanks for the update. :)

I got the error on new window when I click view all.
Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';' in /home/****/public_html/forums/misc.php(96) : eval()'d code(193) : eval()'d code on line 18

This error with only for 3.40.
No problem with 3.38.

[Paul M]

Looks like one of the template evals is failing for you. I can't say which as the line numbers show you must have other plugins using that hook. I would try re-importing the product.

[rainyleaves]

Thank, I try this again. :)

[mishb68]

Installed. Thanks, it's fabulous and sooo easy :)

[sybakaos]

Paul M, thanks for the product. It's fantastic.

I slightly modified the layout and added a column on forumdisplay. I want to the total thread read count ($trtotal) to be displayed on forumdisplay next to views/replies info. Could you tell me what query I need to use?

[Paul M]

Assuming I understood this correctly, then you cannot easily do what you want. No thread level counts are kept.

[sybakaos]

On forumdisplay.php there are reply & views statistics for each thread listed. I want to add a 3th statistic, namely "# members". That statistic would tell for each thread how many members have read the thread using info from your hack.

If you understood correctly, thanks for reply. Otherwise I'd be willing to hear your input :).

[Paul M]

I understood correctly - no thread level count is kept, so you cannot easily do that.

The mod appears to work fine, yet, I am seeing an error (using Firebug in Firefox) when I edit the options in the AdminCP. When I save the options, I get the following error set from the browser:

Why would this view as an error from the browser?

[Paul M]

I have no idea what that even means, some sort of javascript error I think ...

[PossumX]

I have no idea what that even means, some sort of javascript error I think ...

OK. I see that it is some form of javascript error, but when I uninstall this product, it goes away. It only manifests when the Save button is clicked when altering options for this mod.

I guess I'll keep digging to see if I can figure it out then.

[Paul M]

Actually, I think it means you have put an invalid value in the cleanup setting - you seem to have put 'No' - when it should be a number.

[PossumX]

The value in the cleanup setting has been either 0 (zero), being the default, or 3 as I have it set now (screen shot attached). I fully understand that the word "No" would be an invalid value in this routine. Like I said, I'll keep digging as I have time this week, but it is frustrating none the less.

i have vb 3.6.8 but the hack is not working:( please help

[Paul M]

You will have to be more specific than "not working".

[Nathan2006]

Thanks for the update :D

[vAsia]

Wouldn't this cause the site to slow down?

[Makc666]

I just found out (during translation) that when we are on page
Who Viewed This Thread (misc.php?do=viewwr&t=12345)

if I click on "Member" colum I will transfered to page
List of Threads Viewed by : Makc666 (misc.php?do=wrviews&u=123)

If I was not making a translation I think 90% I will never find it.

Why not to change this one:
<phrase name="member" date="1159000000" username="Paul M" version="3.25"><![CDATA[Member]]></phrase>

To something like:
<phrase name="member" date="1159000000" username="Paul M" version="3.25"><![CDATA[Member (click on user name to see more)]]></phrase>

A better variant to add 71351 to the right of usernames.
Will look like:
Makc666 71351

Or another better variant to add one more colum to the left of users' names.
Visual it will look better and more understandable :)
71351 Makc666
71351 Paul M
71351 Cybernetec

[Paul M]

Thanks, but I'm quite happy with it as it is. :)

[Makc666]

Thanks, but I'm quite happy with it as it is. :)
I am happy also with it for now as I know that there is such thing/function.
But it seems to me that 90% of Installs: 997 don't know about this one. Really. :(
Paul M, I think that you know/understand that all people are different and some things which are clear for one part are not clear for another. This fact is incontestable/unquestionable.

So. If you will have some time, can you please add this one (colum to the left) for the next version. And both parts of people will be happy. :)

Thanks!

[Awjvail]

About 2 months ago this modification caused a database error in my forum and I was forced to uninstall it.. I'm really missing this modification so I'm going to reinstall it and hope for the best :)

[Paul M]

This does not cause database errors unless something else is wrong.

[giotmuadong]

is there a way I can turn off this mod at certain board?

[Paul M]

I don't understand what you mean.

[giotmuadong]

I want to turn it off only the member view list at some forum so I can go in there, but I can still see how many read that thread. Because sometimes, I slow the site if I go into the forum that has more than 900 members read the thread

[Paul M]

Sorry, there is no such facility.

[MediaHound]

I've got this working on other boards, but I have a board thats 3.5.2, will this work on it?
If not is there something similar that will?
TIA

[Paul M]

There is an old 3.5 version still available ;

[IvyKeepMommy]

Aw shucks, when I upgraded to the 3.7 beta is said this hack only worked though 6.8.99 *sigh* I LOVED this mod!!

Is there anyway to find out what the individual template edits are so I can see if I can get it working for 3.7?

[theOZer]

For me, it works in vB3.7.0 Beta 2 after upgrade from vB3.6.8 PL2 with this hack already installed. No changes of any kind or re-import required. [Note: Upgraded in testvb.]

[IvyKeepMommy]

I did that and it stopped working... I reverted my templates as part of the upgrade and lost the template changes. When I tried to reinstall it told me that it only worked through 6.8.99... which is why I'd like to make the template edits manually if possible, but need to know what they are.

[Jdm Ej1 Coupe]

anyword on if this can be made to work on 3.7?

[Paul M]

One day.

[IvyKeepMommy]

One day.


As in it will take one single day or one day in the distant (or not-so-distant) future? Sorry, I couldn't resist!! :D

It's a fantastic mod and I'm anxious to get it working again!

When I have the time to check it over and upgrade it. Being one of the more popular of my releases, its higher up on the schedule. Won't be until 2008 though.

It might help if you posted the actual error, but I run php 5.2.5 so if it's php specific I can't help you.

It's so sad, but I must temporary disable this hack...Because it makes bug that disable all admins and smods' (without me, the super admin) abilities and functions!When surfing a topic, the admins or smods only have two function : delete and undelete...All other such as move, merge, copy... are all disable!

This has no ability to disable moderator functions. They work just fine.

[Sykko]

this is a great mod! I have installed it and love it already... and it's only been on my forum for like 5 minutes!

[periphrastic]

great mod, thank you for sharing

for some reason, i'm getting users showing up as having viewed threads in the moderator lounge (non mods aren't allowed) - i've double checked the permissions page, and they're denied access (registered users) - yet, a few non mod members are showing up as having read threads in mod lounge. any advisement / potential inaccuracies that might arise with this mod?

thanks again

[Paul M]

I suggest you check your permissions very carefully, there is no way they can show as having read a thread unless they actually have (are you sure those threads have not been moved there from somewhere else ?).

[periphrastic]

thank you paul m for helping

and, yes i am certain (a) permissions are correct and (b) threads have not been moved. i specifically double-checked the permissions settings to make certain the error wasn't on my end

when i log on as a "registered user" using a dummy account, i cannot see the mod lounge at all. these users who are shown as having read the mod lounge threads are in the "registered users" primary usergroup. this makes so little sense to me. i'd agree with you in that, if they're not reading the threads, their names, ideally, should not show up as having read them. i'm just having trouble reconciling the fact they have no access to the mod lounge (as proven by the permission settings / dummy account test) with the fact that their names are showing up as having read threads in the mod lounge. this mod seems as impeccable as impeccable can get, but i'm concerned because now i don't know if there's some issue on the permissions end, somehow, or if there's some issue on this mod's end.

Nope, never heard of that before.

[stef1372]

Installed... thx :)

[Zekeman]

I must be an idiot, I have installed this mod, enabled it, and I cant find where its supposed to be in the thread display... (Running current 3.6 release)... If you need link to site its... www.wog.com

[Paul M]

Do you have the standard display of who is viewing the thread enabled ?

[woostar]

Nope, never heard of that before.

Is it only me that has this problem. After a member has read so many threads it stops working.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 15728640 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 3351065 bytes) in /home/public_html/includes/functions.php

I thought pagination would solve pulling up to much info at one time.

I doubt I'll ever add pagination, might add a simple display limit though.

NICE! anyone try this on 3.7?

[Makc666]

(View-All)

1.
ACP -> Who Has Read a Thread

Who has read days limit -> 0
Enable thread reset feature -> Yes


2.
Having a very-very old thread.
"Members who have read this thread : 747 (Set)"

3.
In ACP -> Who Has Read a Thread now set:

Who has read days limit -> 7


4.
Going to the thread again.
"Members who have read this thread in the last 7 days : 747 (Set)"

5.
In ACP -> Who Has Read a Thread now set:

Who has read days limit -> 1


6.
Going to the thread again.
"Members who have read this thread in the last 1 days : 747 (Set)"

--------------------------

Also.
If I have noticed that Who has read days limit influence the "(View-All)" URL.

In other words if you have:

Who has read days limit -> 0 then "(View-All)" will show you all users
Who has read days limit -> 7 then "(View-All)" will show you users who has read the thread in last 7 days
Who has read days limit -> 1 then "(View-All)" will show you users who has read the thread in last 1 day


This is very strange.
I think that there is some mess up here.
As "(View-All)" must show all users.
And Who has read days limit must influence who has read a thread feature.

[Paul M]

The day limit is designed as a cutoff for all views (including View-All) so that part is correct - the only bug is that it is not being used if reset is enabled, but no date has actually been set. In this case it defaults to showing all readers of the thread, ignoring the days limit. That is fixed in version 3.7.004 (the 3.7 version). It will not be fixed in the 3.6 version.

[Makc666]

The day limit is designed as a cutoff for all views (including View-All) so that part is correct
Paul M, a very little question.

I am 100% sure that it will be wonderful if options of this modification allows as to select (set) if we want "View-All" to show as all messages nevertheless (in spite of) "Who has read days limit" option is set to.

It will be really nice if in thread we will be able to see, for example, only last 3 days "reads" and when we press "View-All" we will be able to see all "reads".

Can you please add this one to your future request list?!

Thanks
Maxim

[Paul M]

Sorry but no, the limit is working as designed and I have no intention of changing it.

[Makc666]

Just a little notice.
There is a point in line of file "Who-has-read-thread.xml"
<title>Who Has Read a Thread.</title>

Sorry but no, the limit is working as designed and I have no intention of changing it.
I think that adding one little option which will be used in IF condition will not brake any functionality.

Now:
// Set Cutoff Date //
$cutoff = 0;
if ($vbulletin->options['wrtlimit'])
{
$cutoff = TIMENOW - 86400 * $vbulletin->options['wrtlimit'];
}

Will be:
// Set Cutoff Date //
$cutoff = 0;
if ($vbulletin->options['wrtlimit'] AND $vbulletin->options['wrtlimit_all'])
{
$cutoff = TIMENOW - 86400 * $vbulletin->options['wrtlimit'];
}

I am ready to assist you if you don't have time for this one :)

[Paul M]

I am ready to assist you if you don't have time for this one :)Perhaps you didnt understand me. I didnt say anything about not having time. I said I have no intention of changing it. It works as I designed it, and I see no reason to change that design.

[Evolution06]

Awesome mod! this will help my free hosting site I can see who actually read the TOS now.

[Makc666]

Perhaps you didnt understand me. I didnt say anything about not having time. I said I have no intention of changing it. It works as I designed it, and I see no reason to change that design.
And I thought you didn't understand me :)
The only reasons for this one I proporsed are:

On the viewthread.php page we have to limit the request to save some database time/page load time
It will be nice to see some times all the list of users who read the thread and when


For me it is.
Any way - I can change it for my need any time :)
And maybe my proporse will "help" some one :p

Paul M, thanks for replies :)

Okay i like this script very much but izzit posible who view thread record set at plain .

Example :

It show people who viewed the thread but my problem..all my usergroup have Colors and icon next to them...so it showed all those colors and icons usergroup for each user viewed .

my question izzit posible make them show as regular text ? no color or icon show up ?

The rest is okay to me .

Lostguy

[Paul M]

Edit the Display_Readers_User template to remove the opentag and closetag bits (or whatever you want to do).

[lostguy]

OMG im there but im pretty new with this so here i view the script at Display Readers User :

<a rel="nofollow" href="#" title="$threadreader[wrdate]" onclick="window.open('misc.php?do=wrviews&amp;u=$threadreader[userid]','_blank','statusbar=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,scr ollbars=yes,resizable=yes,widt h=800,height=600'); return false;" title="$threadreader[wrdate]">$threadreader[opentag]$threadreader[username]$threadreader[closetag]</a>$threadreader[markinv]

I want it just show name as normal text..Dont need show Icons and Colors format as my usergroup html setting . Just show name who viewed as normal text will do .

Thank you for your time Paul and appreciated .

Great hack, just one question I wont this in one forum area ONLY. Can this be done ?

Giz

[Paul M]

Nope, I dont recall any such opion in it.

[Chachacha]

I've installed this modification on my site. The only thing is, I don't like the display on the bottom of the thread. I saw a similar mod on another vb board where it was at the TOP of the thread and it looked MUCH better.

It would be EXCELLENT if you could somehow update this mod to show up on top one of these days.

[Paul M]

Sorry, but thats never going to happen, the vbulletin default is to show it at the bottom, if you want it elsewhere then you have to customise it yourself.

[Chachacha]

Sorry, but thats never going to happen, the vbulletin default is to show it at the bottom, if you want it elsewhere then you have to customise it yourself.

I saw another post in this thread where someone asked you how that could be done and you simply said that it was not possible.

If it IS possible to customize it, please tell me how.

[SA_TGAZ]

Hello mate

Great hack, just one question I wont this in one forum area ONLY. Can this be done ?

Giz

You can display the table in only a select number of forums. What you need to do is update the template "Display_Readers". The first two lines read as so:

<!-- $data_wrt[title] -->
<if condition="$show[wrt]">


Take this line:
<if condition="$show[wrt]">

and change it to this:
<if condition="$thread[forumid] == n AND $show[wrt]">
n is set to the forum you want this table to display in.

Good luck!

Yes, you should upgrade - the cron cleanup will not function in 3.7 - also a couple of minor bugs have been fixed.

[wafriend]

I moved to a new webhosting provider and the information being tracked by Who has read A thread didn't move. The "Who has read a thread" box for each thread was wiped completely out and started over. Is this normal? Is this information stored in the database or is there a file I need to pull in?

[Paul M]

Its stored in a database table, so I guess you somehow didnt migrate that table properly.

[basskiller]

edit.. sorry, just seen the mod for 3.7

[JenniferK]

Please help :(

I am finally preparing to upgrade to 3.7. I am working on my test board and when I uninstall this mod, I get this:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.1:

MySQL Error : Table 'huntley_test.whoread' doesn't exist



I guess it didn't uninstall completely and now I don't know how to fix it. I also timed out in the ACP for my test board and can no longer log in because of the database error. Can someone please help me?

[Paul M]

How exactly did you uninstall it ?

[JenniferK]

In the ACP, under Manage Products, I went to the mod and clicked on uninstall.

[Paul M]

I dont see how you can get that error then. Maybe you have more than one version installed ?

[perfphysio]

I have been asking for a long time if someone could intergrate a way to email all those people who have read the thread. Perhaps to integrate it with the email functionality within admin.

Anyone with any ideas on that? Afterall normally once you find a group interested in a thread you wish to perhaps contact them? :confused:

[JenniferK]

I dont see how you can get that error then. Maybe you have more than one version installed ?

No, I never had any issues with this mod - it has always worked great. Never needed to reinstall. The site I was using it on was not one I tinkered with once it was first put up (which is why it's still running such an old version). It's still the original install I did around 2 years ago.

I plan to use the updated one once I upgrade. But I am unable to even get into my ACP (luckily it is just for my test board right now). I am by no means a techie, so I am totally lost as to what to do.

[Paul M]

I suggest you re-install it, then uninstall it again, and see what that does.

[JenniferK]

That was actually my thought, but I can't get into my ACP!

[JenniferK]

Anyone have any ideas? I am now a full day behind because I can't access my ACP to do anything.

[JenniferK]

I really hate to be a nag, but this is really a problem. I know it is just my test board, but I need to finish testing everything before I can go ahead with the upgrade on my live board (and obviously things like this are the reason for using a test board). I only have so much time alotted to do this all in, so I really need to get going. Any help anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated. There must be some way to fix this - I just have no idea how.

[Paul M]

Disable the plugin system by adding this to the config.php file.

// Disable Hooks
define('DISABLE_HOOKS',true);

[JenniferK]

Thanks Paul, that allowed me to get in again. Then I edited it back out, reinstalled this mod, then once again uninstalled it.... same result (that database error). When it is installed, no database error, so something is not coming out somewhere.

Any ideas on what else I could do? Or should I just leave it and after I upgrade my vB, install your 3.7 version of this mod, using overwrite?

Thank you for your help!

[Paul M]

You must have an old plugin still active, view all your plugins for a likely suspect, esp those on showthread_xxx hooks.

[Dadopeman]

Why only thread author? Why can't all members see who has viewed the thread.
