That query resets both the average time and the total time. The average time is not stored, it is calculated.

Maybe I should explain how I the average time works, as the < 1 sec might not be a problem at all. The average time is calculated by

time spent on board / days since you registered

that is, if you have been on the board for 50 minutes and you registered 2 days ago the average time would be 25 minutes. If you don't login for two days your average time drops to 12 minutes since you have 4 days registered.

In that case since this hack is new you may have very small total time spent, maybe your user has 10-20 minutes. If you registered a year ago that is 10 minutes / 365 days.. that is a very low number and maybe less than 1.

This is also how the average post count in the forum works, it makes a total posts / days since you registered

Everytime you click on a link in the forum.

I would like to know if you want it into the memberlist (you see an extra "time spent" column in memberlist and can sort by it) or as a separate page.

Second page would be better. There enough stuff on the member list as it is.

Did you re-made all the file changes for RC3? It's working in my RC3 board.

mharmon, could you give me the registered date and total spent time for the user that appears with "2"?

There comes a time in every man's life that he must admit he is a dumb ass.

I was changing the wrong line in sessions.php . . . It works great when you change the right one.

Thanks for this great hack! :)

Working great for me on RC3, thanks kentaurus.! :)

An update for this one. Some extra modifications that will let you add the board spent time (total and average) to the memberlist. You can also sort by it to see who is the user with most board spent time.

It uh... doesn't work for me :(
I've got it installed on my forums (www.theapostleofgod.com/forums).

I'm using RC3. I followed the instructions, made the postbit changes, updated the sql db, updated all the files, uploaded them all.

I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I dont' get anny errors, but I don't see the time online :(

--Sadly, I have to take this hack out, it has affected new user registration :(

Is there a way to remove this from being shown for administrators?

I don't see how it could break new user registration. It doesn't modify the register.php at all.

In the postbit template you might have added something like:

Code:

Time in board: $post[timespent]

Change it to:

Code:

<if condition="$post[usergroupid]!=6">

Time in board: $post[timespent]

</if>

Then it is not shown for the administrators

lets try </if> instead of /if>

To get rid of the "seconds" part:

In the hack:

Code:

if ($time <= 1)

  {

   return $ignoredefault ? "" : $vbphrase['less_than_1_second']; 

  }

  else if ($time < 60) // 60 is not still a minute

  {

   return $time." ".$vbphrase['seconds'];

  }

change it to

Code:

  if ($time < 60)

  {

   return $ignoredefault ? "" : "< 1 min"; 

  }

This is rather odd. I had a someone just join and in their profile it says

Time spent in forums: 1 Minute 32 Seconds
Average time: 11 Hours 2 Minutes 24 Seconds

Now...maybe I missed something...but how does only being in the forums for a total of 1 min. and 32 seconds make a total average of over 11 hours?

Its becuase they have not been registered a day. So they out of say maybe the hour they have been registered that much time on would give a much higher avg time.

Any update on why in private messages it shows a long number instead of the Days, etc...?

In includes/functions_showthread.php

find:

Code:

                // format posts number

                $post['posts'] = vb_number_format($post['posts']);

change it to:

Code:

                // Hack: get the timespent and avgtimespent

                $post['avgtimespent'] = explain_time(floor($post['timespent']/((TIMENOW-$post['joindate'])/86400)));

                $post['timespent'] = explain_time($post['timespent']);



                // format posts number

                $post['posts'] = vb_number_format($post['posts']);

Actually this didn't work. It fixed the private message problem -- but it then made all the time counts in the threads say <1

Oops, I modified the hack, removed some code and somehow forgot to tell that. If you change that code in functions_showthread now the modifications done in showthread.php should now be undone. That is delete in showthread.php the two ocurrences of

Code:

$post['avgtimespent'] = explain_time(floor($post['timespent']/((TIMENOW-$post['joindate'])/86400)));

$post['timespent'] = explain_time($post['timespent']);

they are no longer needed since now it is done in the functions_showthread part, that also adds compatibility with the private messages and wherever else you use a postbit.

Kentaurus --

That fixed it.. sorry for being such a pest on this -- it's just such a cool addition. :)

I found another small bug. If someone has been on the forums 2 Days and 15 minutes for example, it says:

2 Day 15 Minutes

It leaves off the "s" for Days

That's right.. I don't know how I didn't spot it. Here is how to fix it.

In the includes/functions_showthread.php

find

PHP Code:


		
			
        else
        {
return $newtime." ".$vbphrase['day']." ".explain_time($time%86400,true);        
        }

change it to:

PHP Code:


		
			
        else
        {
return $newtime." ".$vbphrase['days']." ".explain_time($time%86400,true);        
        }

That is just adding an "s" to day

The txt is already updated

nothing noticeable, no queries are added (just I query is modified) and there is only some code to format the time the user has been in the forum. It is currently running in my forum that has 100 users online at peak hours.

All times are GMT. The time now is 04:19 AM.
