View Full Version : Show Thread Enhancements - Who has read a Thread
Paul M
01-19-2008, 10:00 PM
This modification is no longer available or supported.
This displays who has read a thread, and the time they last looked at it.
Hovering over a name will show when the member last viewed the thread, and (optionally) what IP address they viewed it from. Note that you can only view the ip addresses in the 'View-All' display.
There is also an option to allow a thread author to view who has read their thread when they are not in one of the allowed usergroups. The IP and number of days restrictions still apply.
The set/reset facility allows members to click on the 'set' link which then sets a personal 'cutoff' time - only showing who has read the thread after that time. The time can be reset as many times wanted, and also completely cleared again. When using this facility there is also a link to allow you to view a seperate list of all readers of the thread.
Warning: When using the set/reset option - there is only a limited capacity of entries per thread (several thousand) - therefore you should only allow this feature to be used by a limited number of people - typically Staff usergroups. Allowing all members to use it will probably slow down your forum and cause errors if more than about 3000 members set a date on one thread.
Note: You must have the "Show Users Browsing Threads" option set in your vbulletin options for this to display.
A cron job (optionally) allows the deletion of records from the whoread table that are over a certain age - this is provided for large forums where the number of table entries can start to reach a million or more after 12 months. The delete age is a setting in the ACP.
There are also settings for the following (in vBulletin Options > Who Has Read a Thread) ;
1. Turn the system on/off.
2. Restrict the display to certain usergroups
3. Restrict the IP display to certain usergroups.
4. Restrict the display to a set number of days.
5. Option to allow thread author to view who read information.
6. Option to turn on the who read cutoff date (reset) function
7. Restrict use of reset function to certain usergroups.
8. Option to set whoread data records to be cleaned out after xxx days.
9. Clicking on a user will display a page of their thread viewing history, most recent first.
Note: When using option 4 or the set/reset facility, the data is still kept beyond this limit, so they can be changed at any time.
Download the zip, extract the XML file and import using the vb Product Manager.
Version 3.7.006 has experimental support for TMS (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/misc.php?do=producthelp&pid=tms). If you have TMS installed then the existing automatic template update system will be disabled in favour of TMS. One effect of this is that when using TMS the requirement for "Show Users Browsing Threads" to be enabled is bypassed . This version will continue to work as before for those who do not use TMS.
History:
v3.7.001 : First Release for vb 3.7.
v3.7.002 : Added check for 'view others threads' permission.
v3.7.003 : Fix for cron_script hook changed in 3.7 Beta 4.
v3.7.004 : Bug fix for days limit when reset option is enabled.
v3.7.005 : Updated to remove potential $group variable name clash.
v3.7.006 : TMS Support added, this is currently experimental.
v3.7.007 : Threads read via the archive are now recorded. Minor permissions update as well.

Hey, Paul. Thanks for this mod. :)
I noticed when uninstalling the 3.7.002 build it doesn't remove the options in vBulletin Options. Where Who's Read A Thread option would be there's a blank space. If you're wondering why I uninstalled the product in the first place I was troubleshooting something.
I also noticed that the templates don't fully uninstall. I uninstalled the product, the templates were removed but when I reinstalled the product the templates displayed but kept my previous edits (I edited Display_Readers template).
Just to let you know, however, that the product works with custom showthread templates. I have 5 different showthread templates and just by editing one of the plugins it works like a charm. Thanks again for the very functional mod. :up:
Paul M
02-03-2008, 10:10 PM
Sounds like you have a previous versions templates and options still lying around. The product id for this version is not the same as previous versions.
Freesteyelz
02-03-2008, 10:19 PM
Yeah. I had to change the previous version's ID so I could reinstall that while troubleshooting. The fact that I did edit Display_Readers template may be why it remained. As for vBulletin Options that's minor since I plan to use this mod as long as you update them. :)
Thanks again, Paul. :)
Paul M
02-03-2008, 11:31 PM
I've actually modified the install code to use the vb product deletion function to remove the previous product when this is installed. It will be part of the next update (probably when 3.7 goes gold as I'll be updating the dependancies of all my 3.7 mods at that point).

Would it be possible to also get a "Who has viewed an Attachment" mods, with similar features? :cool:
Paul M
04-02-2008, 05:59 PM
Hmm, do you really think there would be much call for such a mod.
J98680Bxxxxx
04-02-2008, 08:35 PM
Hi Paul,
That's indeed a good question!
The attachment feature has been a great addition to the vBulletin, and I think that all statistical information that we can get out of that feature proved to be more and more useful. In analysing users activities for example (see vBExperience (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=171014) also), I have found it important to know, not only which users have posted attachments but, which users have actually viewed which attachments. In much the same as is done on Threads: Which users have posted Threads and which users have actually viewed which Threads. This is much for administrative purposes and strategic re-orientation of a forum content.
In my forums for example, in much the same as done here with mods, I do not allow people to post open html links to "external" documents, but they can paste those links along with descriptions inside attachments files and post those attachments. In this way, I keep track on how many users showed interest in a document, through the attachment views. But, one crutial information is still missing: Who has viewed/downloaded an attachment. I think that forums with a volume traffic on attachments will be very interested in such mods.
Actually, this feature or something similar is used here at vBulletin.org when displaying the vBulletin Add-ons listing. When I browse this page (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=228) for example, Threads containing mods that I have downloaded are displayed with a prefix "Downloaded".
Still thinking loudly here, the vBulletin 3.7.0 contains a plethora of new features one of which is the "User Picture Galleries". It would be interesting to know "Who has viewed my pictures" (or "The last visitors to my album were:...")for example. I don't know if this has been implemented already.
What are your thoughts on this guys/gals?

:up: I have looked around trying to find helping factors and/or mods to alleviate the task of developing a mod on "Who has viewed/downloaded an attachment?" and I got a direction from Lynne (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=65230). Lynne has referred me to this interesting mods "Who Downloaded This Attachment (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=103155)" by Psionic Vision.

Well we are running lighttpd 1.4.19 with php 5.2.5 + mysql 5.0.51 + xcache 1.2.2 + memcached for data storage before installing your mod our MySQL usages were max %35 CPU usage , php-cgi usages max %20 CPU usage on system after installing it MySQL usage increased to %89 cpu and php-cgi increase to %70's!... but we need this mod so decided to increase our hardware added 2gb ram and changed mysql config to mysql-huge + tuned with mysqltuner now its better no huge loads... we were using mysql-large + tuned with mysqltuner and mysql was having %10 slow queries :/ ...
For big boards i can just say this upgrade your hardware...

Hi Paul... yep me ahgen LOL I have installed the 3.7 version on my 3.7 board but the whowhere is not showing.

I redownloaded this version and installed over top of the the same version (it had already been updated last night). I have the hack enabled, and have set the usergroups permissions. I'm an administator, and my usergroup# is most definitely in the allowed usergroups to view "who's read a read". It does not show up, although when I import the product, it says it was imported successfully.
I have it set to automatically edit the template. How do I make the change manually? That's the only thing that I can think of as to why this mod isn't showing up.

just working on me testforum(3.7.0) & almost ready to go for the live forum but have also noticed I too suffer from the missing legend @ the bottom..
upgraded from 3.40 to the current, thing is the old skins (3.6.x) which I have detached from parent skin show legand & even switch on/off in the 3.7.0 btw the detached skins were detached prior to any hacks being install on fresh upgrade
I'm now wondering do I go over all my installed hacks or is their a small bug?

In the popup display when you click on a name of a "who viewed", and it shows all threads viewed by the poster.
Would it be possible to have another column for "posted - yes/no" to quickly see if a member had posted or not in the threads they had viewed?
Or is that not practical? - I have no idea myself, but would really find it usefull.
I have been looking for something like that for a while for vB - but as yet haven't seen anything.
The "who viewed" is very good tho, and I have used it for a while on our forum.

After switching on Show Users Browsing Threads the upgraded version now works :)
I didnt really want to switch this on as the option as I'm on shared hostingEnabling this option will show the current users browsing a particular thread on showthread.php while adding one query. This can have an effect on performance. The Alphabetical option requires more resources than the Random option.

Nope, none of my mods are supported on Beta or RC versions now that the full 3.7.0 has been released. You should upgrade your forum.

There is a missing copyright in the window, if you click View all in a thread and nobody has read the thread before the last post.
And is there a option for showing a link only, if a member has read posts?
Paul M
05-04-2008, 10:31 AM
The copyright is suppressed if the "Last Post" message is the bottom line, this is deliberate as it looks a bit odd otherwise.

I had this working just fine in 3.6.8. I just upgraded to 3.7.0 and reinstalled this hack, making sure the show all users is on (yes, members) however it still doesn't show up.
Is it because it can't retroactively add the users who have seen a thread and will only work for any posts to be viewed now I have it reinstalled?
Thanks
Paul M
05-07-2008, 06:49 AM
Sorry, but I cannot really guess at reasons. This works fine on 3.7 so if you have a problem it is local to your own forums, which I have no access to.

I run two forums, on one it works perfectly well, the other it won't!!??
On the one it won't I uninstalled and reinstalled and still nothing, its even the same skin as the other one and both are version 3.7.0. It was working on 3.6.8.
Guess I will have to keep digging, so far all the settings I have checked on the 2 forums are identical.
Paul M
05-07-2008, 07:21 PM
Well something must be different, do they have the same (other) plugins. On some forums, when ive investigated, it has been another (faulty) mod breaking a hook, stopping other mods that use that hook from working.

Ugh,:( I don't like to show users browsing threads publicly to members because they get paranoid that they are being ignored if someone they know reads their thread without replying etc.
I had this hack running on 3.6.x with "show users browsing threads" turned off. How come it must be turned on now? Will this likely always be the case for all future versions of this hack?
Thanks....
I dont see how, its a requirement in the 3.6 version as well. I cant remember as far back as 3.5 now, but i'm sure it was a requirement in that as well. You must have manually edited a template to bypass it.
i never had it installed on my 3.5.6, however it was working on my 3.6.8 without showing users browsing threads. if its because a template was edited, i have no idea which template that could have been. it certainly wasnt done purposefully.
if anybody can recreate the anomoly, id be most interested in knowing how to recreate it. i prefer not to Show Users Browsing Threads

Strange question for you. I've installed this along with your Ip proxy mod. We had a new member from England showing up with an ip from Texas. We had a gut feeling this was a banned member using a proxy to get back in. Yesterday her IP changed to China. I checked it again a few hours later and it no longer showed China, (This is by clicking on their name at the bottom of thee thread) but the IP that I had banned from our host server. How is this possible to change? And before banning her again, I want to make sure it's not just an anomaly.
Paul M
05-12-2008, 03:31 PM
The time/ip etc are updated everytime someone reads the thread, so if they changed their IP then it would change in the display.

The time/ip etc are updated everytime someone reads the thread, so if they changed their IP then it would change in the display.
Thanks for the reply. The thing I don't understand is it was showing the IP for China, but instead of China, it's now showing the banned IP. In other words lets say she was viewing x thread at one pm. It showed the China IP. now it's showing the banned IP at that exact time on the same thread. The China IP is gone, no where to be seen. in its place is the banned IP. I hope I'm explaining this right this time, lol.

Just so you know (well, collective *YOU*, not YOU Paul! ;) ) If you want to use this modification but *do not* wish to display active users viewing the thread, simply change this in SHOWTHREAD:

Then install this modification, if you've already installed, simply install again and over write. Moving the placement of the end of the if statement makes it so when this modification is installed, the auto-template placement doesn't depend on who's viewing the thread or not.

Version 3.7.006
This version has experimental support for TMS (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/misc.php?do=producthelp&pid=tms).
If you have TMS installed then the existing automatic template update system will be disabled in favour of TMS.
One effect of this is that when using TMS, the requirement for "Show Users Browsing Threads" to be enabled is bypassed.
Just to be clear - if you dont have TMS installed then this version will still work using its existing ATC system.

I'm seeing some inconsistent behavior with this mod. I'm at the latest vB version (3.7.1 PL2). Several times yesterday, I was watching a particular thread on my site. There were users who were shown in the "Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread" section, yet they were not being shown in the "Members who have read this thread" section right below. For most users, this worked fine; they showed up in both. In some (but not all) cases, those users had been to that thread in the past, and if I clicked on their username for it to pop up the last threads they have visited, it would show the time in the past that they visited that thread, but not the current visit that they were on right now.
I optimized/repaired all tables, reset all counters, and still saw this behavior again afterwards. I'll take a screenshot the next time I see it, but hopefully my description above is reasonably clear.
EDIT: Screenshot attached. My cursor is over the "Eye-a-tollah you buddy" user, and it is showing last visit date of May 21st. He visited the forum, and that specific thread, today. I saw his user ID in the "currently active users viewing this thread" section directly above. Yet his userID wasn't being updated in the "who have read this thread" section. My "who have read this thread" section is sorted by date, not username, so it was easy to see that it wasn't updating correctly.
Paul M
06-19-2008, 04:32 PM
The data is updated after the thread is displayed.
aciurczak
06-19-2008, 04:55 PM
OK, but the thread was displayed yesterday, and it's still not updated. It never updated, that's the problem. It still says the last time he was at that thread was May 21st, but I saw him visit it on June 18th. I was sitting there watching the screen, refreshed it multiple times, never updated. And it still hasn't.
This may just be coming to light because it's now a requirement to have that "currently viewing this thread" field right there and visible. I have had a hunch for awhile that the "who has read a thread" field may be missing users, as I would send out email links directly to threads, users would come to the site in response, yet it would look as if they only came to the home page and not that thread; their usernames never showed up. That's only a hunch and can't be proven, because if I don't know if they didn't go there, I can't confirm that their username was omitted.
But now, I can, just by looking right above.
Paul M
06-19-2008, 07:18 PM
Its not possible to "miss users" if they have actually displayed the thread. The data is updated by the showthread_complete hook, which is called just before the page is output. The only way for it not to happen is if something [else] breaks the plugin/hook.
aciurczak
06-19-2008, 10:40 PM
Then something else is evidently breaking the plug-in/hook. I'll take more screenshots when I see the same behavior again. Any suggestions on how to find what else may be using or affecting that hook? I don't have a highly modified board, and most of the hacks (at least most of the useful ones) are yours anyway.
Paul M
06-19-2008, 10:57 PM
I would expect it to be something else using the same hook.

Here's another one, happening right now. User MSMC10 is on the thread as I'm typing this, he shows in the "currently viewing a thread", yet the entry in "who has read this thread" hasn't updated. 2nd screenshot shows that according to the standard "whos online" page, he's right on that thread and viewing an attachment from it...
Looking at my plug-in mgr for all the hooks, the only two products using that showthread_complete hook are "Guest Tracking" and "Who has read a thread". 3rd screenshot is of my admincp showing those two products using that hook. (they are the only ones on that screen with that hook).
Paul M
06-21-2008, 09:33 AM
If you are viewing an attachment in a thread, you will show up in the "Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread" box, however, you will not be logged as viewing the thread by this mod. Maybe they are going direct to the attachment ?
Since you have the tracking mod installed as well, you can also check if that logged them in the thread.
aciurczak
06-21-2008, 02:35 PM
The tracking mod does not log him as viewing that thread; the attachment is new, has a random ID that they wouldn't know; there is no way that they can be going to it directly without hitting the thread first.
The tracking mod in fact didn't log him at all. It logs back for 10 days for all other users, but he was here yesterday and it doesn't show anything at all. Here's a screenshot...
Paul M
06-21-2008, 06:09 PM
Sorry but there is nothing I can tell you, if the hook is run, then the data will be recorded. I cannot explain why your forum is not running the hook, but clearly it hasnt, as two entirely seperate systems have not been updated.
Paul M
06-22-2008, 01:26 PM
Actually, there is one other possibility (pointed out in another mod) which the update Ive just released covers. If a thread was read via the archive pages, then it would not be recorded, as this does not run showthread. The user would still show up in the browsing list.

Thats a mysql issue - your table does not seem to support the use of delayed inserts. You will have to edit the plugin to remove the DELAYED keyword.
(All that code does btw is copy existing vb read data into the new table on installation of the mod, you can just ignore the fact it failed and the mod will still work fine).

But i have a question for another funktion. in Vbulletin you can view "new Threads" and "my Threads" and so on.
Wouldn't this hack provide to view "the last threads I read". I think this would be very usefull if you just left the forum and just want do "reread" one of the last threads, and you have a history of threads you visited last.
Or is there such a funktion in vbulletin. If so, sorry ;) i did not find it.

i updated the vb software some times ago
and i see that there is some sort of tag feature build in
and know i see on the working who has visited template
that your code is working great
but the tags are not working !
and on the other templates i have your code is not working
but the tag option are
see the problem:)
i want to drop the tags and keep your code
but as it seems the tags is build in the vb software
and it does not like each other
so i think i need to make a new topic how to disable the tags on vb orso
i already disabled the tag feature in the admin panel
but still no luck

I want to exclude a member from being shown on the display, how do i edit the code to do this (and where).
There is no facility to exclude single members.

Hey there!
I really love the idea of this add on, and I do need it, but when I try to install i receive:
Database error in vBulletin 3.7.0:
Invalid SQL:

Change your SQL user permissions so it can create tables.

Things do not just stop working, you (or someone) must have changed something.

maybe the upgrade. I'm not sure. You seem kind of rude the way you come off. Things do happen.

Hello Mrdby,
after your 1,138 posts on this board everyone would expect that you know that a notice to the developer should contain the circumstances under which the mod stopped working for you otherwise it's not of any use for both users and the coder.
I don't think Paul is getting rude, he just gives a short and true answer to your statement.

If you upgraded and reverted your templates, you will need to re-edit them again.

Beautiful work, thank you Paul!
Quick question... is there functionality to only track certain usergroup's views, instead of everyone? IE - we have an Inactive usergroup, and wouldn't care if their names showed up.

I have just launched a second forum...
I have this installed and working on my first forum... but it is not working on the second one..
I have tried creating a new default style... then installing the product... editing the usergroup permissions etc...
but still it does not show up.
Any ideas?
Paul M
08-04-2008, 11:17 PM
Sorry, no idea. You can PM me admin access if you like.
Mrdby
08-10-2008, 01:23 PM
so the TMS feature prevents this from working?
I received this error in your current version:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /home/../public_html/forums/misc.php(97) : eval()'d code(189) : eval()'d code on line 18
I don't have time to debug it right now... but I'll let you know what I find when I do.
edit:
Alright, so I looked into it and it doesn't make any sense. I disabled other plugins that used the 'misc_start' hook but the error still occurs. Line 189 of the code didn't seem like it had an error... so, I'm not sure what's up.

Perhaps is This:
Note: You must have the "Show Users Browsing Threads" option set in your vbulletin options for this to display.
You Find that Option on: Admin Control Panel -> vBulletin Options -> Thread Display Options (showthread) -> Show Users Browsing Threads -> (Select one of the Options that says "Yes".
(Random Listing requires less Server resources)
Without this Option Activated the List of Users Who Have Read the Thread isn't Displayed as Paul said.
Thanks Again Paul for this Great Mod. :up:
My Best Regards.
:)

No, this is purely for threads only.
Yes BUT can you please make a version of this for "Who has Read a Blog". There are like zero mods for vbBlog out. Any chance your up for making this?
Mrdby
09-29-2008, 11:35 PM
what i mean is...its activated and it's still not allowing members or me to see who has read a thread.

Sorry, I have little time these days and its spent on supporting the current versions of my mods, I dont have time to create new ones. Its going to be hard enough finding time to port them to vB 3.8.

Will this work for threads read before the installation ?
Paul M
10-01-2008, 11:22 AM
Possibly.
If you already use the database thread marking system then this will read the first 30,000 records from that and use them to show a thread has been read by a member.

Depends on how old the older version is.

i have updated the skin and as i suspected there's no box showing the members who read the thread in any thread ...

If you install this without uninstalling 3.38 then it should remove the old version for you without deleting the data. I would advise you to backup the Whoread table tho, just in case. :)

10-30-2008, 11:43 AM
done , and the table is still there , but i cannot see the post in the thread showing me the members who reads ...
in options i check and the product is on and my group is allowed to see ...
Paul M
10-30-2008, 03:36 PM
If you are using a custom style then its probably missing the required html comment that this hooks into.
p@nDa
10-30-2008, 06:21 PM
if u mean this one ...
Auto-Template Search Text : Who Read This Thread
then yes , even if my style is custom that code is there in the template and the Auto-Template Search Text : Who Read This Thread is Enabled ...
And i have not the TMS installed in the forum ...
how can i add the box manually ?
Paul M
10-30-2008, 08:43 PM
Sorry, but if you have the required comment, dont have TMS (and do have "Show Users Browsing Threads" enabled) then it should work. If it isnt then something is broken - you need to find and fix that, not try/hope to bypass it with manual template edits.

10-30-2008, 10:05 PM
so what i have to look for ?

Thank you for the mod..
- When I click on View All, it return a page with error, internet explorer can not display the web page, I belive there was a mistake with the spilling cos the link ended with misc.php?do=viewwr&t=1 (Douple WW), when I corrected it, I got the smilies page
- When I click on one of the users who have read the thread, i got again internet exploer can not disply the web page..
- Can this be adjusted to certin forums instead for all..
Kind Rgards,

There is no spelling error, "viewwr" is correct.
There is no forum specific setting.

Sorry, I cant think of any possible reason.Although its a new fresh install with no 0 installed products, using the original style, I still can't make the link view all nor clicking the name of the reader work..
I also updated to vesion 3.7.4 last night, uninstalled, reinstalled the MOD, but no luck, I always end up with the error IE can not display the web page :(
Is there any thing I can check or do manualy :confused:
Paul M
11-05-2008, 03:55 PM
Nope.
Maybe something on your server is breaking the links, but without access I cant even guess really.

Thank you for this hack!
I turn on VB 3.7.3 unfortunately the hack was installed without problem! but there is nothing to display!
I checked the options you ask.
Do you have a solution?

No, I dont. I cannot possibly just guess what your problem is, but see reply above.

Its important as we have a must read forum where we need to know who did not read the threads..

hi, I am investigating why my most users ever online have been reset today (due to a database error or to a mod as suggested in vb).
This is one of the few mods I use. Is there any chance that this mod caused it?
I have to say that I have been using this mod smoothly for months. ;)
