AJAX: Show Users Browsing Threads & Replying
 

This mod will replace the current "Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread" box in threads to an identical one that uses AJAX.. With this method, you can see users viewing the thread in real time (without refreshing) and also see when a user is replying.

By default, it updates every 10 seconds, but you can change that by editing the template code.

Enjoy!

Installed. Thank you.

how many query?

There is one query per instance, well, on top of whatever queries go into global.php and fetching templates (if they are not cached)..

For those of you who said thanks.. Your welcome! :)

I like the hack idea, but for shared hosting it maybe a lot of queries and cause a large server load.

I have been following it on a couple busy sites and haven't noticed too much of a hit. Restricting "Show Users Browsing Threads" to members only is probably a prudent thing to do. You can also up the timeout in the javascript for fewer calls.
