Yea, that's definitely possible. I'll see if i have time to make an add-on for this.

[TimberFloorAu]

Can you create a mod, that allows users to view posts that other people have quoted them in? Who Quoted Me kind of thing?

We crudely use:

http://www.mywebsite.com/forum/search.php?do=process&query=TimberFloorAu&searchdate=lastvisit&showposts=1

Doesnt seem that accurate...

installed and works, after clicking two threads when installed.
iis 6 + vb 3.7.3

[R-D]

There seems to be a couple of bugs.

Firstly, threads in the list are arranged by thread ID, not by most recently viewed.

Then, when the database is updated, it appears to only replace the last value. Meaning the first 4 threads you viewed are never removed from the list and the last value (the most recent thread) is constantly updated.



Here's a fix for the second issue. In the showthread_complete plugin, change:
$recent_threadviews = array_slice($recent_threadviews, 0, 4);
to:
$recent_threadviews = array_slice($recent_threadviews, 1, 4);

That makes sure the first value in the recent_threadviews array is removed.

[Gio~Logist]

Updated the .xml with fixes for both :up:

[CristianoDiaz]

I have it installed, but it is only displaying one recent thread no matter how many I have clicked through. It just keeps replacing the first one. Version 3.7.3 of VB.

[R-D]

There was an unintended side effect in my last fix. :o

Although it corrected the problem if you have 5 threads listed, it also removed a thread from the list when you have less than 5 listed. Here's a better tested quick fix for the showthread_complete plugin.

Replace:
if(!in_array($threadinfo['threadid'], $recent_threadviews)){

$recent_threadviews = array_slice($recent_threadviews, 1, 4);
With:
$count_recent_threadviews = count($recent_threadviews);
if(!in_array($threadinfo['threadid'], $recent_threadviews)){

if ($count_recent_threadviews > 4){
$recent_threadviews = array_slice($recent_threadviews, 1, 4);
}

Thank you, that solved the problem :)

Should be under the search bar. Have you tried viewing a thread first? Also, what version are you running and can i have a link to your website?

[Gio~Logist]

Thanks for sharing.

[lodac]

Great Idea, It would be awesome to do this within a page itself. ex new posts page etc.

A Small but Important Bug:

When the Thread's Title is Too Long the Search Menu With Goes Too Long Too, even Occupying the Screen Width. :confused:

How can the Thread's Names be Limited to xxx Characters? :confused:

My Best Regards.

I Experienced a Little with the Code of One of the Plugins and I Found the Way; perhaps you can Include it in the Next Update of your Mod with an Option in the Control Panel for Admins to Set it:

I added the Following Code on the Plugin "Recently Viewed Threads - Browse Recently Viewed", by

$recent_thread['title'] = substr($recent_thread['title'], 0, 30);

if (strlen($recent_thread['title'])>=30)
{
$recent_thread['title'] .= '...';
}

You just have to Change the 30 to the Number of Characters You'd Like the Text to be Limited to.

so that Plugin would be:

if($vbulletin->options['recent_threadviews_enabled'] AND $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] AND !empty($vbulletin->userinfo['recent_threadviews'])){

$get_recent_threadviews = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT threadid, title
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread
WHERE threadid IN (" . $vbulletin->userinfo['recent_threadviews'] . ")
ORDER BY FIELD(threadid," . $vbulletin->userinfo['recent_threadviews'] . ") DESC
");


while($recent_thread = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($get_recent_threadviews)){



$recent_thread['title'] = substr($recent_thread['title'], 0, 30);

if (strlen($recent_thread['title'])>=30)
{
$recent_thread['title'] .= '...';
}



//$recent_thread['title'] = fetch_trimmed_title(fetch_censored_text($lastposti nfo['lastthread']));
eval('$recently_viewed_threads .= "' . fetch_template('recent_threadviews_navbit') . '";');

}

eval('$template_hook[navbar_search_menu] .= "' . fetch_template('recent_threadviews_nav') . '";');

}

And that's it.

My Best Regards.

:)
