Last Seen Online in postbit
 

This modification will show the last time (and date) the user was online in the postbit template.

Version 2.0 is an improved version of the plug-in I released for vB 3.5.4. One nasty call to can_moderate was removed to save some processing time, all the code was also moved to one plug-in.

If the user is invisible the last online time will not be displayed if you do not have the proper usergroup permissions. The last online time will also not be shown for guest posts.

As far as I know all bugs are fixed in this version. It was tested on vB 3.6 RC3 and vB 3.6.0 (gold). It has not been tested on vBulletin 3.5.

w00t! first install.. Actually 2nd ;).. Brad install first himself :p..

Okay cool, you got a demo or a Screen Shot that I can take a look at to see how it looks in action. Thanks

Does this work off the user's own local time or the default server/vbulletin time?

The time and date is generated like all dates within vBulletin. In other words the time zone offset for each user is taken into effect.

I figured out where the postbit template thing was - you might want to add more detail to your instructions for those of us that are new to vBulletin and don't know where to find stuff.

I'm still not seeing this in the postbit, though. I am using the Kirsch template right now which has the postbit on the left rather than at the top, so is there a different thing I need to do to the templates?

The other possibility that I can think of - I have myself set to where I don't have to log in each time I come back to the page, is that the problem? So far I'm only running it on a test forum, so it's not on one that's in wide use.

U shud've edit postbit_legacy template :).. I'm running it without having any problems.. U can't see this untill u edit ur templates..

I did & it still wasn't working. I may have missed something, so I'm going to clear it all out and try again :)

Installed thank you :D

The page here doesn't have TEMPLATE EDITS checked, so I assumed you didn't have to do any. Yet when I D/L'd the install file and read your 'install.txt' that's the first thing it mentions.

Does the installer happen to handle the template edits for you or something?

Thanxx
Signed, I know oh so little of all this

Installed.

Thanks dude.

Hrmm. I found a bug where when people go into invisible mode, it completely jarbles up only their posts for others. Has anybody else ran into this yet?

Here's a screen shot of what happens whenever someone is invisible mode..

question though can you change the time meaning i use normal for my time but in posbit-legacy its too long but if i change it it will change in both so i wonder can i change the time look instead of using the long ones on the forum?

The function you are asking is a default vBulletin function.
You can try
That 'll just split into two line.

installed thanks

installed =)

Hello Brad,

Thanks for this hack, but prior to install it, I'd like to know if it is possible to let only Admin seeing this information in postbit ?

Nobody has the answer ?

can we make this work only for administrators and not for all users??

bump..sorry i didnt see this last post

I don't have this installed but I am guessing you can wrap the template code in this:

"x" is the usergroup you want to see this. You can add multiple usergroups by writing x,y,z

The default admin usergroup is 6. For admin only, you would change the "x" to a 6.

Excellent job.

*clicks installed*

very nice, simple

I searched for the text per the instructions in the zip, but neither my postbit or postbit_legacy templates has the coding:

<if condition="$post['joindate']"><div>$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]</div></if>

I am running 3.6.2, would this be a problem?

Thanks! :)

I needed a shorter version for my postbit_legacy though, so this is what I ended up using:

If they were online today, it shows only the time, otherwise it shows only the date. It's not perfect though as they coulda just been online but right before midnight your time (making it "Yesterday").

Thanks, great mod. :)
