"Users browsing this thread"

[Admin]

Here's what I did when I first written the hack for vB.org.
Since nakkid's query was wrong, I got permission from him to post my version. :)

Anyway, this is using vbHacker so you'll need that. See my signature for a link about that.

This hack adds a list of users currently browsing the thread you see. It requires another field in the user table and no new queries except for showthread.php. It's based of the "Users browsing forum" feature so it was easy. :)

Cheers.

[Recluse]

went off without a single hitch :) thank you sir

[Kyomu]

Many thanks.

[inetd]

Hi!
Good! Big thx!

[Smellycat]

Perfectly installed, without a hitch

Cheers!

correction when i edit a post i get Warning: Failed opening '/home/cra****/public_html/forums/editpost.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0

[ladyfyre]

does anyone have the one nakkid wrote still??

I had already installed it, and can't find it on my computer, and need it again to un-install.....looks like they deleted it from here already :(

[Lesane]

Could u also post a normal txt file with the instructions? That would be cool, thanks. :)

I just tried to edit a post on mine and never got a error.

Pheeeww!!!

[Admin]

ladyfyre: remove the part from "// Get users browsing this thread" until:
eval("\$loggedusers .= \"".gettemplate('showthread_loggedinusers')."\";");
}
}

all i missed was to run the query. the code is identical. :) well almost. i didnt see the inforum because i dont have my mysqlmanager installed on my pc. is a done thing now... :p

I think you'll want to replace this...

if ($browsers) {
eval("\$onlineusers = \"".gettemplate('showthread_browsing')."\";");
}
...with this...

if ($browsers && ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 5 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 7)) {
eval("\$onlineusers = \"".gettemplate('showthread_browsing')."\";");
}

...I think that should make it visible to Mods, Super Mods, and Admins. Haven't tested it, though. :)

[Admin]

Or use ... and ismoderator(). :)

[TWTCommish]

Shhhhh! Do you want EVERYONE to know that I don't know jack squat about vb? :D

[Admin]

Heh, I was using what you posted as well until very recently, when I discovered ismoderator(). :)

[Gutspiller]

Can somebody tell me if this hack would work with 2.0.3? And where is the "Who's Browsing This Forum" hack? I want that one too, is that included in 2.2.4/5 :ermm:

I have been looking for a hack that does this ever since I installed my board, but yet again I am stuck with my version and am not willing to upgrade. Somebody please tell me this hack will work or might work with 2.0.3???

Thanks for any help you guys can provide.

[Lyric Olympics]

i have 2.2.5
and this line isn't in newreply.php

updateuserforum($threadinfo['forumid']);

[Admin]

That line is changed if you installed my Users Browsing Thred hack, Olympics.

[Lyric Olympics]

that's odd
i have no hacks and i've uploaded the files
but my newreply is different
i downloaded a fresh copy and reuploaded again
and now i can find that line
odd
thanx anyways

[Gutspiller]

Firefly does this hack work with 2.0.3? It kinda sounds like it uses a addon from 2.2.4/5 did I read it wrong or is 2.2.4 + a must?

While I'm here, how do I set VBHacker to make backups? It doesn't say in the VBhacker thread how or what to do. If it does it automatically what are the names of the backup files and what if a file of that name already exists?

[TECK]

firefly, i noticed something:
if i view the list of users in showthread.php, there are some users that are not listed in forumdisplay.php (users that actually browsed that specific thread i viewed). to be more clear, if i view this thread, and you are here also, if i go back to the detailed category, you are not listed there. any idea why?

this is happening only when i get out of the showthread.php.

just curious if you could see why it's happening this.
thanks.

[Admin]

Guts: you must have at least 2.2.0 as it uses the Users browsing this forum engine.

[-=dm=-]

hmm what does this hack do?

Um, Chen described what it does in the first post, and a demo is seen right above the "Next Thread" and "Previous Thread" links on this very page. :)

[-=dm=-]

Thanx
but I can see, on my forum "Users browsing this thread" without I added this hack. how come?

[mADmAX`]

I just did this hack and got no errors but its not working. Where it would show the users browsing is nothing but spaces. Does not even say "users browsing this thread". I looked in showthread template and its got $onlinestatus. What could be wrong, I am running 2.2.5

[mADmAX`]

NM, I figured it out...

[E]

Could This Work on other pages......
like just a normal page.. could i have somewhere on that page it saying... "Users Viewing this Page"

[bonnmac]

I've installed this on my board which is version 2.2.5 and it works great. I'm so happy that you guys are willing to share your hacks with us non-programmers. Thanks again.

[E]

^^upppin for answer on previous page...
dont be afraid to say no

[amykhar]

When I installed it using vbhacker, it was only showing MY name in any given thread. I finally figured out why.

in showthread.php, this code:


// Get users browsing this forum
if ($showforumusers) {
$datecut = $ourtimenow - $cookietimeout;
$browsers = '';
$comma = '';
$threadusers = $DB_site->query("
SELECT username,invisible,userid
FROM user
WHERE inthread=$thread[threadid]
AND lastactivity>$datecut
AND lastvisit<>lastactivity
");
while ($threaduser = $DB_site->fetch_array($threadusers)) {
if ((!$threaduser['invisible'] or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6) and $bbuserinfo['userid'] != $threaduser['userid']) {
$userid = $threaduser['userid'];
$username = $threaduser['username'];
if ($threaduser['invisible'] == 1) {
$invisibleuser = '*';
} else {
$invisibleuser = '';
}
eval("\$browsers .= \"".$comma.gettemplate('forumdisplay_loggedinuser')."\";");
$comma = ', ';
}
}
if ((!$bbuserinfo['invisible'] or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6) and $bbuserinfo['userid'] <> 0) {
$userid = $bbuserinfo['userid'];
$username = $bbuserinfo['username'];
if ($bbuserinfo['invisible'] == 1) {
$invisibleuser = '*';
} else {
$invisibleuser = '';
}
eval("\$browsers .= \"".$comma.gettemplate('forumdisplay_loggedinuser')."\";");
}
if ($browsers) {
eval("\$onlineusers = \"".gettemplate('showthread_browsing')."\";");
}
}





was not being added to the file. This code:


updateuserforum($thread['forumid'], $thread['threadid']);


WAS added to the file though. Once I pasted in the missing code block, everything worked fine.

Help i installed this Hack but it wont work. I checked all the code over and over its all there in the right spots But it wont show up on my forum??

The Code is in the templates and the created template is there.

[FleaBag]

Working well on 2.2.5, thanks FireFly! :)

[TECK]

firefly, i installed your hack today. i was thinking of an interesting mod... to show the actual numbers of users viewing the thread in forumdisplay. here it is what i did...
in forumdisplay.php find:updateuserforum($forumid);replace it with:updateuserforum($forumid,$threadid);find: ORDER BY sticky DESC, $sortfield $sqlsortorder
");BELOW this add::// users browsing each thread
$getthreadbrowsers = $DB_site->query("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count,inthread
FROM user
WHERE lastactivity>".($ourtimenow - $cookietimeout)."
AND lastvisit<>lastactivity
GROUP BY inthread");
$threadbrowsers = array();
while ($threadbrowser = $DB_site->fetch_array($getthreadbrowsers)) {
$threadbrowsers[$threadbrowser['inthread']] = $threadbrowser['count'];
}find: $thread[votenum] = '0';
} else {BELOW this, add: global $threadbrowsers;
$activebrowsers = $threadbrowsers[$forum['forumid']];
if (intval($activebrowsers)<1) {
$activebrowsers = 0;
}now.. there is something i miss, because it will not update the number of users viewing the thread. i also tried this...
find:getforumrules($foruminfo,$getperms);BELOW this, add:updateuserforum($thread['forumid'], $thread['threadid']);i think there is an unset somewhere that stop it from counting. can you let me know if the basic idea is ok and what steps i missed? thanks.

[Scott MacVicar]

Just copying Chen's code from the forum viewers hack won't get you anywhere...

You can follow the same principle but theres an easier way :)

[TECK]

what do you mean wont get me anywhhere? firefly knows is his code, i dont understand what do you reffer to it.
what's the best way PPN? should i do a count in the $browsers query?

[vBHackz]

Ummmm, I deleted this hack by re-uploading showthread.php and all the file's i edited, and now there's a gap between:

*Vb Bullet* ://UrBaN-DiAlEcT.NeT\: > Urban-Dialect.net > News and Updates > lol, Another dope hack.

This would be the gap.

Go to first unread post firstnew.gif

I want to get rid of this gap, anyone know how?

"showthread_browsing" is a template that needs to be created (or is created for you if you use the vbhacker install)..

sorry to bring this back, but i need some help. i just installed this hack, using the .txt file. everything went through without any errors, but when i try to view a thread, i don't get the "users browsing this forum (users)" thing? what could be wrong? I did everything that was said in the .txt file. I am also using vB ver. 2.2.8 ... Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanx!! :)

Well i got the hack to work, but i have noticed another problem

It does not seem to refresh who is browsing the thread quick enough

For example, it shows a user browsing a thread, but he is not even list in that forum, and by going by "whos' online" it shows him somplace else.....

And vice versa, Whos online will show a user reading a thread, but it does not show him under "users browsing thread"

Here is a link to my forum, i'm sure you could see what i mean, please, any help is a apreciated on this! :)

Sorry in advance if this has been asked before, but is there a way to include the number of guests viewing a particular thread as well as the registered members?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=38012&highlight=users+browsing+forum

But, instead having it for # of users in thread, on forum display. :)

Experiencing the same problem as Amy here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?postid=249940#post249940), though can't seem to figure out why.

[WEForums]

Need a 'fix' for vB 2.3.0. It appears the script works with no errors other than the query doesn't work:

Database error in vBulletin Control Panel 2.3.0:

Invalid SQL: ALTER TABLE user ADD inthread INT(10) UNSIGNED DEFAULT "0" NOT NULL, ADD INDEX inthread (inthread);
mysql error: Duplicate column name 'inthread'

mysql error number: 1060

Script: http://www.weforums.com/forums/forums/admin/query.php
Referer:

And when I view a thread, it appears the script 'works' but it only shows my name. It also has commas and if a user is invisible, it has a "*" with a space, then a comma. So, the script doesn't show usernames like it should (on vB 2.3.0). Anyone know a way of fixing it?

Also note I installed the hack that makes mods and admins appear in bold and bold and italic for the forum display AND thread display.

[WEForums]

To help clarify what I mean, this is the problem.

[Kriek]

WEForums, that's the same problem I am experiencing. See my previous post above yours.

:) I think it's a template thing

Try

| In the "showthread" template, replace this code: |

$poll

With this: |
$poll

<smallfont><p align="right">$onlineusers</smallfont>

Move $onlineusers to anywhere you want in the showthread template

Koutaru, how is that dissimilar from the original instructions? $onlineusers IS in Show Thread Templates/showthread, that's why it is displaying my username, but the problem is that it is ONLY showing my username.
