Well I suggest you take that up with Jelsoft, but I can't see it changing. Easy answer - just bump the threads (hint: Post in them, then use the post merge facility to make them one newer post again).

After testing it appears only peoples primary usergroup is used to determain who can see this, I would have prefered to be able to allow a secondry usergroup to to view this, is this possible?


By the way thank you for such a great hack ;)

How do you turn on the database thread marking system in version 3.53?

There's nothing in my acp that indicates it. :ermm:

vBulletin Options > General Settings > Thread/Forum Read Marking Type.

Yes, it only works on Primary group atm. I'll make a note of your request for future updates.

Good hack

Thank you very much!

Nice hack. Installed.

Only one thing: Don't you think it's a little odd to have 4 different phrases for only one sentence? This makes translating the sentence harder than usual.

member_has, members_have, no_member & no_members could be combined all together in 2 phrases. Or even in one phrase if the sentence re-constructed. For example:
Number of members who have read this thread in the last {1} days: {2}

Maybe, but that's the way it was built and I'm not in any hurry to change it. Be happy it's phrased at all. :)

can we setup for usergroups have or have not permission to view this mod?

Yes.

Thank you very much for the use of secondry usergroup addition.

weird thing happend it shows up twice

first members who have read then who are reading and then again who have read..

Since guests cannot see it I cannot help. I would guess there is something odd with your showthread template.

Hello,
how come I cannot seee the Last part of the image in the hack? Is it integrated?

This is not working for me.. can someone contact me via PM and help me out?

Thanks a lot.

Please click install if you require support.

Also, please be more specific with any problem - "it's not working" doesn't tell anyone much.

Hello Paul

I dont know how to say this but what I meant was ... I do not see the bottom part of your screenshot after I've installed it. I will hit the install button once I am sure that the hack works correctly.

Thank you :)

Install*

Feel free to PM me a login to your site with full admin access and I'll have a look.

I assume you have read this ;

i already Thread/Forum Read Marking Type & Database Read Marking Limit ... still don't see anything ..I'm using 3.5.4..plz help!

INSTALLED! I've been hunting for a mod like this! Thank You, good job!

just re installed this, seen the update where theres no need to edit the showthread template, but im not seeing anything...
allthe settings are correct, yet nothings there?

1. Despite the big bold warning, which I repeated in my last reply to you, you still do not have the database thread marking system turned on. Therefore this hack will not work.

Also, I noticed that you have removed the list of usergroups from the ACP "Who has Recently Read a Thread Usergroups" setting, so even if you activate the datbase marking, it still probably won't work until you add some groups (or 0 for all).

Fix those errors and you should be ok.

In the vb options general settings.

No, you haven't, you are still set to use 'Inactivity/Cookie Based'

Done.

took me a while, but i figured it out reading the last few messages....

Thanks paul for yet another great innovative hack.

OOC (Aint it funny how ppl can't read rules or other posts to see if it has been solved?)

is there away to make it visible to admin/mod. only?

That would be nice.

Great mod Paul M!

Perhaps you should both read the notes ...... and while your at it, read the bit that says CLICK INSTALL. :)

good hack...

installed i like this

How do I uninstall? I deleted the product and the "already viewed thread" from the plugin manager.

Now, it cleared the names but the table in the template is still there

See screenshot

Are you sure you have the right hack ? - "Already viewed this thread" has never been a phrase in this.

Not to that exact word to word but yes I deleted the product and a few things that pertained to members reading threads in plugins area

Is there any way to add the time viewed?

Not in this version, this shows the time of the last viewed post. Version 3 shows the time last actually viewed.

Where's version 3? In the works?
