This looks great!

Could you include a screenshot in the first post? (or a DEMO link?) And could you explain a little better which usergroups (if not all) would see this?

Thanks! :)

I am trying to install this on 3.5.4... Not sure if it will work or not, but I get this error on install:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: query_read_slave() in /homepages/27/d148851894/htdocs/forum/admincp/plugin.php(1232) : eval()'d code on line 4

I removed all the execution order stuff, but I still get this error. Any help possible?

Thanks!

This is not written for vb 3.5 - that's why it's in the 3.6 forum.

Figured I would ask anyway. Many mods are backwards compatible. Thanks for the helpful response.

Installed and working so far! Thanks! :)

Very nice, thank you!

*click install*

Is it possible to turn this on/off in different forums? You say that the SQL tables can get very big through this mod, this maybe would help ...

No, that is not a feature.

install thanks

installed

I have another question.

I would like to request that you are only able to see the list after you click a button (like the View-All Button now). I don´t want that everytime a thread is loading the hole list at the bottum has to be loaded too. I noticed that it took a little longer to load a thread through that (one more querry, don´t know?).

So is it possible to show just a button in the threads and only load the list after you click it?

This button can also be on the top beside "thread options" or so, but that´s not so important...

There is no such facility atm and it's doubtful I will add anything to this anytime soon.

OK thank you for your answer.

Love this mod, just installed it, and noticed that the list isn't showing up in private forums? (see screenshot) Is this intentional or is something wrong?

I can see the list in every other forum but private ones.

Has anyone actually read it (according to that they haven't). What exactly do you mean by a "Private" forum - it's fine in all our staff forums.

People have definitely read the thread, because they also posted replies.

The list doesn't show in any of my staff forums, nor the forums for a specific usergroups. :(

EDIT: Just checked again, now it's working. *scratches head* All is well, sorry about the false alarm. (*scratches head again*)

Excellent mod!

Hi Paul ... :)

Installed and it seems to work fine for forums that are read/write....

We use reference library forums where users can view "canned" threads, but not respond to them. In those, it says "0" users, even though the number of reads of the thread indicate high amounts. ie: 50+

Any suggestions? Does it start building the database from the time I install, so those threads that haven't been read in a while will show "0" until people start reading them after your mod has been installed?

Badger

ps: I'm also not getting IP addresses displayed (Display ALL), even though I have the option turned ON for 5,6,7 and I'm an administrator. It just shows the IP address for myself?

Sadly, as time travel has not yet been invented, it cannot tell you who read something before it was installed.

I think the ip address function probably only works on primary usergroup (I don't have time to start checking that atm, as I'm off out).

Thanks Paul ... :)

I thought that might be the case, but apparently with some forums it has been invented. :D

I'm able to read threads in our general discussions forum and at the bottom with the mod installed and truned on, they show doezens of user entires with dates that go back weeks, even immediately after the install.

Badger

ps: Paul, I forgot to ask.... does this mod impact system performance greatly? Thanks...

.... and I've also just noticed that IP addresses have started appearing. It looks like they started recording sometime after the mod was installed....

Actually, it can sort of go back in time - I forgot that if you have been using the vb database thread marking system, it will read that data and use it to populate it's own database - however, for performance issues on installation, it only reads the first 10,000 marking records.

Thanks .... nice work ... as with all of your modes.... :)

Regards,
Badger

Great work as always!Installed!Thanks!

Great mod, installed! ;)

Dumb question: if I turn it off, entry are not inserted in the database, am I right? :o

Depends what you mean by "turn off".

If you turn off the display (in the options) then data will continue to be collected so that when you turn the display on again, it will still be correct. If you disable the mod then no more data will be collected.

so...
vBulletin Options -> Who has read a thread -> No (data are beeing collected)
Plugin Manager -> Disable (dare are not beeing collected anymore)

For now, I chose "Table Clean-Up" 10 days.
Just one other question: when the clean up is performed (hourly, daily...)?

Thank you, this mod is really really useful :up:

That's correct.

Hourly.

Great mod - installed. Thank you :)

is there anyway to arrange specified room?

Eh ??

Great mod,, I like the easy install even better :)

Thanks!

I have 200 threads a day each one read by more than 300-400 users (at least one time, sometimes more than one time for users).

I am wondering... is it bandwidth-expensive?

Define 'expensive'

A name is only listed once, no matter how many times they read the thread - 300/400 readers per thread is quite a lot, are you sure all your threads are really read by that many ?

Anyway, 300 names will be about an extra 9K/Bytes on the page (as a reasonable guess).

Since he has 14.931 members I would say that is highly possible. Wow! That is a huge number for daily traffic for shared hosting.

I am pretty sure because I read the number from... your script ;)
Some threads (announcements of new functions) have more than 550 readers...
(even if in the weekend the traffic is lower)

thanks. Since the visualization is allowed just for the admins (two of us), I guess this is not a big deal.

Ehm... the names visualization is the only thing that affects the bandwidth? :o
I mean enabling (without visualization) or disabling it, from the bandwidth point of view is the same?

Sorry if the question sounds trivial or dumb, but I really like this hack, it is very useful for administration purposes.

Few days ago we shifted on a VPS, same hosting; now we are comparing the bandwidth used beetween the old and new server, this is why I am asking these trivial questions about the bandwidth usage (I added this hack after the "moving on").
BTW, the hosting is doing a really great work, even if when we were on their "pure" shared hosting, the website was always fast and reliable (and the support very quick, that is what I like the most, as per vbulletin, both .com and .org :up: ).

Thank you guys! ;)

The extra bandwidth is because the list of names is passed as part of the page, if you disable the display of names, then there will be no exta bandwidth.

cool, thank you.

thanks for this hack ;)

QUESTION? I would like members to see who has viewed a thread as well without being able to view ip addresses. Possible?

As it says, the view IP and view readers are separate permissions ;

So yes, just set it up correctly in the settings.

Paul, when I try and upload it from my computer it says

XML Error: not well-formed (invalid token) at Line 1

You have a duff file, download it again.
