thanks alot buddy

Works like a charm (as it did before!) once again I upgraded to 3.5.4

Thank you Sir Paul M :D

Could it be possible that this could be restricted to certain forums, so you could just add the forumid of the forums to use this?

I ask because I have certain areas, like tech support, announcements, and back end moderator areas where I want to know or my helpers need to know if someone has read a thread for admin /tech support reasons - but I dont want to use it out on the general boards because I think it might cause some issues. Mainly in some areas on my site, a member's feelings may be hurt if they see so and so read their thread but didnt respond, etc. So I want to use ot more for admin purposes..

Installed, cheers!

I have one nasty ex-member who siphons off posts from our forum and uses them selectively on his blog to attack us. He's banned, but he has some cronies, so at least I can now pin down where his info might be coming from!

Cool, thanks. I've been wanting to install something like this.

Thanks, I might install this..but a few suggestions...

Before when I was on phpbb we had a hack like this and it recorded every user who viewed a thread, but each time they viewed the thread it would bump their username back to the beginning of the list of names...this way you could tell when they re-viewed a thread...for example, maybe you made a post and u would really like to know if a certain person has read the thread since the last time, you would know they have because their username is back up towards the beginning.

The second feature that would be nice to have with this is for the list to be collapsable, if you have 5,000 people view a thread it's not gonna be very cool seeing a list of 5,000 usernames...it should only show to users if they select it from a collapsable thing or something.

I would actually pay to have these features added if that's possible..thanks.

Perhaps you should have actually installed it first - the list is already collapsable :cool: - Changing the display order of the names is achieved by changing the SQL WHERE clause to use dateline.

Feel free to send me your payment for the above ;)

ahh, my bad dude...i'm gonna install and fiddle with it. thanks :)

Great hack!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't know, what i am doing wrong, but the list is not showing up. Seems that the Display_Readers template is never included, wether I am in the right usergroup or not. I entered 6 for the usergroup, as i am the board admin. But nothing happens. And yes, I have activated it :-) Any Idea about that?
THX 4 help!

Do you have a custom style ?

Yes, I have. Could that be the solution? How to fix that?

To work, this comment must be present in the showthread template (in the appropiate place).

Obviously it's in the default vb style, but it maybe missing from your custom style so you will need to add it.

Thank you for the advice. Checked it twice, it is definitely there. But still nothing happens.

There is nothing else I can tell you without access to your forum.

Just checking in on my idea again - possible? not possible?
Thanks!!

It's not possible without adding extra code and options.

Installed! Thanks for the flawless hack! :banana:

I have error when import old data
------------------------------
Importing Product, Please Wait...

Installing Table
Copying Data - 986864 Records to Process

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/palungjit/board/includes/class_core.php on line 369

That's an insane number of records in your threadread table. You either have an incredibly busy forum, or a ridiculously high value for the database marking days, or your cron job to clear the db marking table is not doing it's job.

BTW, when did I give you permission to remove the copyright notice from my Top Posters hack you have installed ?

Apology about this.. my new staff tested and installed it...
I just Click install and reinstall..

yes..
something about treadread table to big to import..

I reinstall again.
I go to phpmyadmin

1. copy Threadread table to threadread2
2. emtry threadread table
3. upload "who has read a thread - Version 3" & import datbase very fast..
4. delete table name +++++ad
5 copy threadread2 to +++++ad and make structure same as +++++ad table..

now it work...

thank you for making this script...

Any chance to put it on top and not bottom of the page ?

Thanks in advance

Not without editing the code, and possibly a template.

installed, and working.

nice!

wow i went to uninstall this and got a nice database error i guess ill keep it installed until i can figure out why.. i dont think it removes everything when uninstalled

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.4:

Invalid SQL:

REPLACE INTO +++++ad
(userid, threadid, dateline, ipaddress)
VALUES
(1, 1335, 1147674434, 'xx.xxx.xxx.xxx');

Not sure what the +++++ is for but that code is from one of the plugins so it hasn't been uninstalled, try again, or just disable it.

Very nice addon, just got one little feature request, could you add an option to make it possible to limit this hack to a few categories (and subforums of these), this could remove the query on the forums where it isn't requred (or that are too often requested).
Thanks for your work so far!

nah its your plugin just vbulletin is filtering who read cause i think its picking it up as a curse word(put who read together and look at the first 5 letters)... look at others post too it does the same... just lookin to get rid of the product but once i do i get a sql error...

Great mod!

click!

just installed this and it's great-just what i needed. thank you so much :)

Pual any word why it wont let me remove it? like i said if i do i get a nice sql error... i never had a problem on any of your other mods just this one

I have no idea, the uninstall feature for products is a standard part of vbulletin. If all else fails you could manually delete the plugins and the table.

TRUELY SUCKS... cause i cant get it to work nor can i get it to uninstall... i tried removing the table i get a sql error i tried removing the table and plugin same thing... wish i never installed it now...

You seem to have got your hooks system into a mess - but deleting products/plugins is standard vb functionality, not specific to individual plugins/products.

Have you actually tried installing it again (with overwrite set to yes) and then uninstalling it ?

There is not much else I can do unless you want to e-mail me access details with admin access to the plugin system.

i dont seem to see why my hooks system would be a mess... every other mod installs and removes just fine... i have other mods of yours installed fine and they work great and uninstall great its just this one giving trouble... i remove it and get a sql error... the tables are there i see it in the products but when i remove it poof sql error... also yes i have tried installing it again (with overwrite set to yes) and then uninstalling it but same error....

The code that generates that sql is part of one of the plugins (specifically "Display Thread Readers (2)" which is attached to the "showthread_complete" hook). When you uninstall it, vb should remove that plugin, clearly it isn't - but that's standard functionality, not plugin code. Becasue it's removing the table, but not that piece of code - you get the error.

Do you have a duplicate of that plugin for some reason, and one somehow detached itself from the product ?

Like I said, without you sending me access details there is nothing else I can say or do as I am just guessing / stabbing in the dark - I cannot see what your plugin system is actually doing wrong.

upgraded to this without any problems....now shows as version 3.13 in the product list....
