Alright, everyone - I have a question for you.

I'm looking at filling the requests that this hack show up as a link which opens a Pop Up Window with the requisite information.


The question I'm posing to all of you is this: if I do this, does anyone still feel that it is beneficial to be able to optionally have the information display on the thread itself (the way it does currently)?

Or would everyone unanimously prefer that it only display the information as a Pop Up?


If everyone wants it as a Pop Up, I may not retain the current format. On the other hand, if there are those who like it as it is - I may make it an option, so that you can select which format you prefer.

Let me know. :)

I would like to see it as an option...Mine is set to display on admin and staff...but if this where to be visable boaRd wide...then yes a popup would be nice

Personally, I think the popup is what is prefered. You might not want to see who viewed ALL topics, just the ones you really want to monitor. Besides, this might open the door for my previous request ;) !

An option to do either would seem to make everyone happy. :)

That's what I figured.

Well, everyone - I'm working on the next version, which will have a user-selectable option to make the "Who Viewed" information available via a Pop Up Window (or, you could choose to see them on the ShowThread page, as it is now). :)

I should have it released this week, if all goes well. :)

Alright everyone!

I have just released v1.3.0 of this hack, and I have given you what you asked for: the ability to have the Who Viewed information displayed in a Pop Up, instead of directly in the ShowThread page. :)


I made it so that you can choose which Display Mode you prefer - to have the Who Viewed information show up directly on the ShowThread page (as it was for all prior versions), or to only show a Link on the ShowThread page that opens a Pop Up Window with the Who Viewed information there.

I also consolidated and cleaned up the code - so now (among other changes) there is a distinct Configuration Section in the ShowThread.php code addition.




For users upgrading from v1.2.6 (and these instructions ONLY apply to users coming from v1.2.6), download the v1.3.0 instructions and do the following:


1. Remove the code addition you previously had added to Misc.php. It is no longer needed.

2. Follow Steps 3-4 in the v1.3.0 Instructions file.

3. Replace the old (v1.2.6) code additions to ShowThread.php with the new version of code (Steps 5-6).

4. Replace the old (v1.2.6) code additions to the SHOWTHREAD Template with the new version of code (Steps 8-9).

5. Follow Steps 10-11 in the v1.3.0 Instructions file.

6. Test to make sure the hack works properly (do this BEFORE you change anything in the Configuration Section).

7. Optional: Edit the Configuration Section in the new Code you just added.


That's it!

Let me know what you think of the new Pop Up functionality! :)

:angry: Darn you for being so efficient!

I had just installed 1.2.6 this morning! :D

Thanks! Will try out the upated mod this evening. :) :banana:

Sorry about that! :)

I know how much I hate waiting weeks or months for other developers to make changes or improvements - so I try to not do the same thing.

If it really bothers you, I could start waiting a month or two longer than necessary before releasing new versions... <grin>

Nooooooooo! :confused: :D

Oh, all right then. Just for you, I released v1.3.1. <grin>

There are no functional changes with v1.3.1 (versus v1.3.0) - I made some minor improvements to the aesthetics, that's all.

I updated the screenshots on the first post in this thread - so you can take a look and decide if you want those changes now, or if you'd rather wait until the next functional release. :)


For anyone upgrading from v1.3.0 to v1.3.1 - just replace the code inserted into the SHOWTHREAD Template, as well as the entire contents of the WhoViewedTemplate Template. That's it. You're not overwriting any configuration settings - so it's just two quick replacements and you're completely done. :)
