Hello Paul is this the correct area for this hook? Located in the Showthread template.

<!-- end currently active users -->
</if>
$template_hook[showthread_after_activeusers]

<if condition="$show['popups']">
<!-- popup menu contents -->
<br />

That looks correct.

Ok got it working after adding hook, and deleting all usergroups that were restricted . If I add one usergroup like 25 to the restrictions line, the mod dissapears. so for now everyone can see it. Anyone else run into this problem?

I installed this, and added the restrictions on usergroups yet it is still displaying for those usergroups, particuarly the IP address. Any way to fix this?

If Im reading this correctly, then its working as expected.

So if you only put 25 in the box, then only usergroup 25 will see the mod.


Again, are you reading it correctly ;

List the groups that are allowed to view ips, sounds to me like you did the opposite.

paul adding 25 or any usergroup number makes the whole mod dissapear for every usergroup.

Sorry, but I dont see how thats possible.

It doesnt happen for me (or anyone else afaik).

Hi Paul I just found out my newly registered usergroup could view IP's when clicking view-all, even though I had them listed in my restrictions like this 25,26,27, . usergroup 25 could view all IPs, and me the unrestricted admin could see nothing. This must be conflicting with another mod. usergroups look like this correct (id 25) .

Thanks

My problem is similar with the IPs.

Nothing is conflicting, it is working correctly. Please read the options carefully.

As I said above, list the groups that are allowed to view ips. If you entered 25,26,27 then those groups can view ips, others (like admin) cannot.

<i>Restrict the display of ip addresses to this comma seperated list of usergroups, enter 0 to allow all usergroups.</i>

Paul I have left the above field blank, and still the ips are viewable by everyone.

thanks

Yes, leaving it blank is basically the same as entering zero (access for everyone).

Love this hack, works great for me....However, would love to see a "whos replied" below it or the users in another colour or something rather than having to physically look through a long multiple page thread (yes, lazy!).

thank you install working

Thank you Paul, this may be just what I need to see who is actually paying attention to staff announcements.

wonderful MOD, now i will know whether my staff is reading my post or not. :D

Great mod! Love it!

Quick suggestion though: I don't suppose there's any way to have the input field for "allowed" forums to be toggleable between allowed/disallowed, in case there's only one of two forums that admins don't want listing recent readers?

In my case, I've got an Anonymous Forum set up using Zoints Anonymous, and this mod has has the potential to "out" someone!

Cheers

Sorry, thats not possible atm.

INSTALLED ..

great mod man !!

Thnx ..

Is this really not compatible with 3.8 RC2? This is the first time I've seen a mod block an installation like this within the same version.

None of my mods will install on Alpha/Beta/RC versions. No one should be running them.

Okay, it does work on 3.8 RC2 though. I know that isn't your point but it does.

Yes, I expect most of them will, but as you say, thats not the point. No one should be running a live site on a beta/RC version, I wont support them, so I (quite deliberately) restrict them from installing on such. :)

I'm trying to figure out where the plugin code is where it looks for this showthread_after_activeusers - what plugin is that stored in? My template does not have that hook and as such does not display. I have to edit one or the other, the template or the associated plugin for this mod.

Thank you for posting that! It's amazing how the developers assume everyone knows what a hook is or how to add a hook to a template. Been using vB since 2005 and never experienced having to manually add a hook to a template before. :)

Its already in the default vb template, you must be using an old customised version.

Okay, here's an issue that no one else seems to have had, or reported. I could not get this add-on to work, no matter what I tried. Everything looked correct, hooks in place, settings correct, etc. And here's how I fixed it...

In the SHOWTHREAD template, change the code seen here (vBulletin default!) in bold red text:


to the code seen here in bold green text:


So the HTML comments must be outside of the conditional statement. Otherwise, the following setting in ACP won't be activated:
The default text string shown there is: <!-- end currently active users -->

Has no one else run across this problem when trying to get the add-on to work?

No one has come across it, or reported it, for a very simple reason - it doesnt exist in the 3.8 version (which is what this thread is). This version uses a template hook, not previously available.

In previous versions (3.5/6/7) you will find the following clearly stated ;
Due to what you found above :)

Ah, that explains it. I just checked and see that I have version 3.41, and I was sure I had downloaded 3.8! My bad. Downloading again right now. :)


Edit: Yes, I did have 3.8 downloaded but I also had the older version on my hard drive, and mistakenly installed it on a new site. :rolleyes:

Installed. Many thanks !

Polish version

:up:

Thank You Paul. Will be trying it soon. :)

Great Mod Works like a charm, I had to add the hooks in my custom styles but the only issue i had was finding out where the information was located. lol that took longer then the upload and template edits put together. ive been eyeballing this mod for a good year now and cant believe i just added it finally. *Installed*

Reserved

I've read through most of the old posts but I don't think anyone has asked this....

Is it possible to only allow certain groups be displayed in the "Which members have read this" such as Staff but everyone can view which staff has viewed it.

This way people will know if a staff member has viewed their thread?

No, there is no facility to limit what groups are actually shown in the list.

Installed, nice mod.

Ok, give us a clue..

Once installed where am I looking to see who has viewed a thread? Or is it another option in Vbull you have to turn on also ?

Enter any topic and scroll down till after the quick reply box.

You'll see a box with 'members who have read a thread' with all the names of the people who have viewed the topic.
