A quick script hack would be sufficient.
Wow you posted back quick, I did not see it!
Anyway.....
Follow me...
Open './showthread.php'
FIND THIS...
if ($vboptions['threadviewslive'])
{
// doing it as they happen
$DB_site->shutdown_query("
UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread
SET views = views + 1
WHERE threadid = " . intval($threadinfo['threadid'])
);
}
else
{
// or doing it once an hour
$DB_site->shutdown_query("
INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "threadviews (threadid)
VALUES (" . intval($threadinfo['threadid']) . ')'
);
}
REPLACE WITH...
if ( $thread['postuserid'] != $bbuserinfo['userid'] )
{
$show['user_rate'] = true;
if ( $vboptions['threadviewslive'] )
{
$DB_site->shutdown_query ( "UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread SET views = views + 1 WHERE threadid = " . intval ( $threadinfo['threadid'] ) );
}
else
{
$DB_site->shutdown_query ( "INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "threadviews (threadid) VALUES (" . intval ( $threadinfo['threadid'] ) . ')' );
}
}
else
{
$show['user_rate'] = false;
