Last Seen Online

[Jordeh]

The Last Seen indicator shows the date and time when a user was last
online (and active) on your forum.

Original idea by DjSap (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=37201)

Nice idea, how many queries does it run?

[AN-net]

from the looks of it does not require any extra queries to be run;)

[Jordeh]

That's right, it's a pretty simple hack... no queries involved :)

[MrNase]

That's cool :)


*install

[SnowBot]

sounds good to me :)

[The Realist]

installed, thanks.

[Musicpill]

Nice little hack! :tired:

[turbidblue]

very nice, thank you! :)


*clicks install

[ranger2kxlt]

I requested this! THANKS ALOT!

[weitalia]

Fantastic,a long awaited hack for me ;)

[Berethorn]

This is great, thanks! :) I set it so it displays Last Seen Online when you move the cursor over the username. This is nice if you don't want to add another line to the postbit. :)

[Holidazed]

Very cool. How do I add the same info to the user's profile?

[Jordeh]

It should already be there. It should say something like Last Activity: Today 22:36

[Holidazed]

Oh!! Duh!!

Thanks

I just noticed that this hack sorta defeats the purpose of giving your users the option to be "invisible." Several of my users have complained, so I need to slide a template conditional into this hack to not display this line if the user is invisible.

[Cold Steel]

Can you share that conditional?

[Michael Morris]

Certainly, when I find it.

[Michael Morris]

It apparently doesn't exist :(

The closest thing is functions_bigthree.php which passes a variable to the postbit_onlinestatus template to chose which icon gets used. I suppose it could be modified to pass the variable we need, but before I go muking with it I need to know if it is called for each post or if it uses some sort of array.

[dubumb]

I love it! thanks!

[Reece D]

very nice hack .. going to install this one

[Datenpapst]

It should already be there. It should say something like Last Activity: Today 22:36
nice and simpel :)

[Jordeh]

That conditional would be:

<if condition="$post['invisible']==0"> ... </if>

This will only show it if the user is not invisible

So this:

<if condition="$post['lastactivity']"><div>$vbphrase[last_seen_online]: $post[lso_date] ($post[lso_time])</div></if>

would become this:

<if condition="$post['invisible']==0"><if condition="$post['lastactivity']"><div>$vbphrase[last_seen_online]: $post[lso_date] ($post[lso_time])</div></if></if>

[dfdems]

I followed the instructions, all I get is this

Last Seen: ()

Sorry if it sounds stupid, I am clueless on coding, I just installed this board yesterday. Any help would be appreciated

[dfdems]

Fixed it, forgot to edit functions_showthread.php, told you i'm a dope

I like the hack

[Soto]

Great hack, really easy peasy install, thanks for this.

BTW - something I've never really understood - why would some people want to remain hidden? Why would saying when they were last seen make a difference. Surely they still don't show up in Who's Online?

[Reece D]

is there anyway to make it just show the date they were last online and leave out the exact time in brackets ..

*installed* anyway

[Reece D]

nevermind i tried doing it myself and it worked ! :)

[Vampyre]

Good job, Jordeh.
Thank you. :)

[Dennis Olson]

What would be the conditional to only display if the user is not invisible, UNLESS the person viewing is an Admin (in which case it would be visible)...?

[PurrFect]

I'd be interested in getting the answer to this question too. :)

[xtreme-mobile]

works great at http://www.extreme-mobile.com on vb 3.0.6 :)

thanks

[Kirk Y]

Ahh... excellent, I've been looking for this. Many thanks Jordeh! :classic:

[folkish]

Installed today. Quick question, what do I need to do to get the text: "Last Seen" to be bold in the postbit?

[kregger]

That would make it a little nicer. Anybody know?

[SlipNslide281]

don't mean to sound silly but where it says:
## NEW PHRASES ################################################## #########
################################################## ########################

Phrase Type: GLOBAL
Varname: last_seen_online
Text: Last Seen

Where do you edit Phrases???

Edited::: Ok I figured it out. I was getting frustrated and decided to do a search on the Vbulletin manual and found it. for those who have the same noobish problem as me, its: "Languages and Phrases" tab in your admin cp.

"installed" Works great. Nice hack.

[hotwheels]

awesome

[slim cutty]

is there a conditional that would disallow this to show when users are online?

"Last Seen" seems like user would be away... so when users are online, this wouldn't show...

help please..lol thanks

[ReZ]

Does this work with 3.0.7?

[HollyD]

Hi, sorry to exhume such an old thread, but does this work with 3.6.8?
I can't find the functions_showthread.php file to modify...

- -

Oh, duh, never mind. I found "last visit" in the settings and that's perfect.
