Simple hack but it was requested on the request forum.

Anytime a user is logged in and views a thread it will increase the threadcounter by one. Ofcourse if you want to be sure not to miss any thread views turn off guest access.

Comments are welcome.

In case you still want to view it in profiles as well, find: <tr>
<td bgcolor="#1C5780"><normalfont><b>Total Posts:</b></normalfont></td>
<td bgcolor="#1C5780"><normalfont>$userinfo[posts] ($postsperday posts per day)</normalfont></td>
</tr>
And add after that:
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#1C5780"><normalfont><b>Total Views:</b></normalfont></td>
<td bgcolor="#1C5780"><normalfont>$userinfo[views]</normalfont></td>
</tr>

This has already been added to the hack text file, so no need to do this if you downloaded after this was posted.

Does it require an extra query ? Where ?
Thanks a lot... Is there any screenshot ?

Stupid me, it does require a query, it ofcourse has to update the views. So one more (very simple) query per thread viewed.

As for output, it writes Views: 12345 beneath Posts: 4321 in threads and profile.

Views means how many threads that user saw while logged in since the hack is installed.

A screenshot of the Views line added in the profile is attached.

Thanks a lot.
Very cool even your UserCP interface... do you 'release' it in Template forum ? ;)

Thanks again. I'll install it ASAP.
Bye

I edited my reply about queries, it's not released as template hack as it requires a file change and a database change as well.

This hack shows the amount of times a user viewed a thread, not the amount of threads a user has viewed. :)

No, sorry. I was explained not too well... ;)
I meant I liked very much your UserCP look'n'feel... and asked if u had/would 'released' some tip to create something like in the Template forum of vb.org....
I know this hack need code modification (i asked for queries, do you remember? :nervous: ) so it's of course a Full Release hack...

Excuse me for having generated a misunderstanding.
Thanks.
