Thanks Paul, *Installed*, working perfectly. :up:

Would it be possible to also get a "Who has viewed an Attachment" mods, with similar features? :cool:

Hmm, do you really think there would be much call for such a mod.

Hi Paul,

That's indeed a good question!

The attachment feature has been a great addition to the vBulletin, and I think that all statistical information that we can get out of that feature proved to be more and more useful. In analysing users activities for example (see vBExperience also), I have found it important to know, not only which users have posted attachments but, which users have actually viewed which attachments. In much the same as is done on Threads: Which users have posted Threads and which users have actually viewed which Threads. This is much for administrative purposes and strategic re-orientation of a forum content.

In my forums for example, in much the same as done here with mods, I do not allow people to post open html links to "external" documents, but they can paste those links along with descriptions inside attachments files and post those attachments. In this way, I keep track on how many users showed interest in a document, through the attachment views. But, one crutial information is still missing: Who has viewed/downloaded an attachment. I think that forums with a volume traffic on attachments will be very interested in such mods.

Actually, this feature or something similar is used here at vBulletin.org when displaying the vBulletin Add-ons listing. When I browse this page for example, Threads containing mods that I have downloaded are displayed with a prefix "Downloaded".

Still thinking loudly here, the vBulletin 3.7.0 contains a plethora of new features one of which is the "User Picture Galleries". It would be interesting to know "Who has viewed my pictures" (or "The last visitors to my album were:...")for example. I don't know if this has been implemented already.

What are your thoughts on this guys/gals?

Clicking "view-all" gives this error
and takes to the smilies page

Incompatible with 3.6.9

When an update? Thnx!!

Sorry, I cannot replicate that. I would guess from the double eval its connected to the Display_Readers_View_Bit template - have you customised that ? Other than that I would need admin access to your forum.

This is the 3.7 version. Look in the 3.6 mods area for the correct version for you.

:up: I have looked around trying to find helping factors and/or mods to alleviate the task of developing a mod on "Who has viewed/downloaded an attachment?" and I got a direction from Lynne. Lynne has referred me to this interesting mods "Who Downloaded This Attachment" by Psionic Vision.

May be some of you guys/gals are interested in it. :)

Where is this supposed to show,

Under the "Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread" list.

I just install and I don't see it anywhere.

Having performance issue with SQL , for big forums its not good , will you think optimize it for big forums?

Sorry but just saying "performance issue" and "optimize" are not really very useful. Define exactly what your issues are, and what you mean by optimize.

Well we are running lighttpd 1.4.19 with php 5.2.5 + mysql 5.0.51 + xcache 1.2.2 + memcached for data storage before installing your mod our MySQL usages were max %35 CPU usage , php-cgi usages max %20 CPU usage on system after installing it MySQL usage increased to %89 cpu and php-cgi increase to %70's!... but we need this mod so decided to increase our hardware added 2gb ram and changed mysql config to mysql-huge + tuned with mysqltuner now its better no huge loads... we were using mysql-large + tuned with mysqltuner and mysql was having %10 slow queries :/ ...
For big boards i can just say this upgrade your hardware...
Now our hardware:
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+
4 GB Ram
250GB Raid5 Disk.

What size is your forum ? What settings are you using for the mod ? I run this on a forum with over 1 million posts, with a years worth of data, no time limit and some threads have over 1000 members who have viewed them, but its not causing any issues at all.

good work. . .

Does this hack work with 3.7.0 R C 4 ?

I want this in one forum area ONLY. Can this be done ? Like this changes ?

Hi Paul... yep me ahgen LOL I have installed the 3.7 version on my 3.7 board but the whowhere is not showing.

I don't get any errors and the show users browsing is on.

Could it be the template edits didn't take? and if so, can I manually add them or???

Thanks in advance.

There are no template edits as such, its auto added at run time.

Any ideas on what is causing it to not show? Thanks in advance.

FYI-- I did a template search for this code <!-- end currently active users --> and I don't see any addition to code that relates to this mod. Is there suppose to be code automatically added here?

Its added at runtime, you wont see anything in the template.

Make sure that you have permission to view the mod... I have mine set so that only a few of the moderators can see it. It doesn't show to anyone without permission.

Not working on new version of vbulletin, does not show. Shame because it is one of my favourite add-ons. I will rate it 5 stars when it is updated for vb3.7 gold release.

Same here. Doesn't show up on 3.7 Gold. Will def be checking back for the updated version.

It works fine in 3.7

It works fine for me on the gold version too... are you sure that you have the display groups set up correctly (so that you are in a user group allowed to see it)?

Sorry posted on the wrong thread didnt realise this had been updated for 3.7 !

Doesn't work for me on new version.

Yes, everything is set to work, but it will not show up. The usergroups have been checked, and I most definitely have permission to view it, but it's just not there.

I redownloaded this version and installed over top of the the same version (it had already been updated last night). I have the hack enabled, and have set the usergroups permissions. I'm an administator, and my usergroup# is most definitely in the allowed usergroups to view "who's read a read". It does not show up, although when I import the product, it says it was imported successfully.

I have it set to automatically edit the template. How do I make the change manually? That's the only thing that I can think of as to why this mod isn't showing up.

If you PM me admin access to you forum I can have a quick look at what you are doing wrong (later).

You must have the "Show Users Browsing Threads" option set in your vbulletin options, I have turned that on for you.

just working on me testforum(3.7.0) & almost ready to go for the live forum but have also noticed I too suffer from the missing legend @ the bottom..

upgraded from 3.40 to the current, thing is the old skins (3.6.x) which I have detached from parent skin show legand & even switch on/off in the 3.7.0 btw the detached skins were detached prior to any hacks being install on fresh upgrade

I'm now wondering do I go over all my installed hacks or is their a small bug?

Cheers
acco

I wanted to use the hack for hide forums.... and check visitors.. I noticed some moderators share their passwords to other users in order to let them read the hide forums ...

but the history of visits won't record .... just the last visit ... so I can not find wich moderator share his /her password ...

Is there any way to record the visitors all IPs instead of the only LAST visit ? or need a different hack ?

thanks.

Ive read this twice and still dont really understand what you just said.

I dont know of any such mod currently released.

Ugh,:( I don't like to show users browsing threads publicly to members because they get paranoid that they are being ignored if someone they know reads their thread without replying etc.
I had this hack running on 3.6.x with "show users browsing threads" turned off. How come it must be turned on now? Will this likely always be the case for all future versions of this hack?

Thanks....

You can set it to whatever usergroups you want to be able to see this, if you only want admins to be able to see it, just put in that usergroup.

In the popup display when you click on a name of a "who viewed", and it shows all threads viewed by the poster.

Would it be possible to have another column for "posted - yes/no" to quickly see if a member had posted or not in the threads they had viewed?
Or is that not practical? - I have no idea myself, but would really find it usefull.

I have been looking for something like that for a while for vB - but as yet haven't seen anything.

The "who viewed" is very good tho, and I have used it for a while on our forum.

Thanks Paul.

I dont see how, its a requirement in the 3.6 version as well. I cant remember as far back as 3.5 now, but i'm sure it was a requirement in that as well. You must have manually edited a template to bypass it.

Sorry, there are no plans to do that.

good work. . .

I had this hack running, but where can i find the german translation ?

thank's
