"Users browsing this thread"
 

Here's what I did when I first written the hack for vB.org.
Since nakkid's query was wrong, I got permission from him to post my version. :)

Anyway, this is using vbHacker so you'll need that. See my signature for a link about that.

This hack adds a list of users currently browsing the thread you see. It requires another field in the user table and no new queries except for showthread.php. It's based of the "Users browsing forum" feature so it was easy. :)

Cheers.

went off without a single hitch :) thank you sir

Many thanks.

Hi!
Good! Big thx!

Perfectly installed, without a hitch

Cheers!

correction when i edit a post i get Warning: Failed opening '/home/cra****/public_html/forums/editpost.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0

does anyone have the one nakkid wrote still??

I had already installed it, and can't find it on my computer, and need it again to un-install.....looks like they deleted it from here already :(

Could u also post a normal txt file with the instructions? That would be cool, thanks. :)

I just tried to edit a post on mine and never got a error.

Pheeeww!!!

ladyfyre: remove the part from "// Get users browsing this thread" until:
Recluse: make sure editpost.php is uploaded. The system can't find.

i get it when veiwing attachments also, i let vb hacker edit them, so i never even downloaded them ( well i did backs up first ) im going to try again here in a few and see what happens

You can tell vBHacker to make you a text file. I'm going to check it out with this one. :)

i was so close to the answer.. ;)
all i missed was to run the query. the code is identical. :) well almost. i didnt see the inforum because i dont have my mysqlmanager installed on my pc. is a done thing now... :p

the text file... ;)

Yeah, and editing 10 more files to update the inthread field and create it. ;)

true. i was referring to the actual hard code.

ok i used vb hacker again, just dident let it run the query or re-edit the templates and it wokrd fine :) thanks for the hack dude

Thanks nakkid for the text file - I'm an old-fashion guy! :D

to Lesane & Erwin

I'm an old-fashion lover too... ;)
See this Firefly post about the exporter.

Didn't tried yet, but I absolutely hope it works.... ;)

Thanks :up:


(Where is the up Firefly? ;) )

How would I make this visible to admins and mods only?

Chris

I think you'll want to replace this...

...with this...

...I think that should make it visible to Mods, Super Mods, and Admins. Haven't tested it, though. :)

Or use ... and ismoderator(). :)

Shhhhh! Do you want EVERYONE to know that I don't know jack squat about vb? :D

Heh, I was using what you posted as well until very recently, when I discovered ismoderator(). :)

Can somebody tell me if this hack would work with 2.0.3? And where is the "Who's Browsing This Forum" hack? I want that one too, is that included in 2.2.4/5 :ermm:

I have been looking for a hack that does this ever since I installed my board, but yet again I am stuck with my version and am not willing to upgrade. Somebody please tell me this hack will work or might work with 2.0.3???

Thanks for any help you guys can provide.

i have 2.2.5
and this line isn't in newreply.php

It's line 72 of an unhacked 2.2.5 newreply.php.

That line is changed if you installed my Users Browsing Thred hack, Olympics.

that's odd
i have no hacks and i've uploaded the files
but my newreply is different
i downloaded a fresh copy and reuploaded again
and now i can find that line
odd
thanx anyways

Firefly does this hack work with 2.0.3? It kinda sounds like it uses a addon from 2.2.4/5 did I read it wrong or is 2.2.4 + a must?

While I'm here, how do I set VBHacker to make backups? It doesn't say in the VBhacker thread how or what to do. If it does it automatically what are the names of the backup files and what if a file of that name already exists?

firefly, i noticed something:
if i view the list of users in showthread.php, there are some users that are not listed in forumdisplay.php (users that actually browsed that specific thread i viewed). to be more clear, if i view this thread, and you are here also, if i go back to the detailed category, you are not listed there. any idea why?

this is happening only when i get out of the showthread.php.

just curious if you could see why it's happening this.
thanks.

Guts: you must have at least 2.2.0 as it uses the Users browsing this forum engine.

hmm what does this hack do?

Um, Chen described what it does in the first post, and a demo is seen right above the "Next Thread" and "Previous Thread" links on this very page. :)

Thanx
but I can see, on my forum "Users browsing this thread" without I added this hack. how come?

Thanks. :(

I wonder if it would be possible to have to boards same server, but one be for news and one be for chatting. :devious:

as long have you have 2 databases you can have 2 boards

How can one align it on the right like vBulletin.org has here above NEXT THREAD

:(
