Who Is Replying?
 

This simple add-on will show who is replying to a thread when you view the "Thread Information" block to see who is browsing a thread. On a site where help is given to users, this can potentially save time for those who might decide to post help, only to discover they have been beaten to the punch by someone else.

Updates:

Version 1.1:

• Added setting to set which usergroups can view who is replying.

Version 1.2:

• Minimized the number of queries involved.
• Now shows who is editing a post as well.

Version 1.3:

• Text added to active users now phrased.

Installation:

In AdminCP go to Plugins & Products ► Manage Products ► Add/Import Product.

Click on "Choose File" and browse to the product xml file that was packaged in the .zip file.

Click "Import"

You MUST set your settings to enable the mod.
Each setting has an explanation of its use.

Support for this product can be found here:

• MHB - Who Is Replying?
• TAZ - Who Is Replying?

Thanks! Install...

Thanks for this mod!

Now how do i enable the "tread information" tab? like you have in the second picture?

Thanks.

This can be enabled by following:

AdminCP ► Thread Display Options (showthread) ► Show Users Browsing Threads

And setting this to one of the following options:

Yes, Alphabetical to all visitors - This option will show an alphabetized list of users to guests and members.
Yes, Random to all visitors - This option will show a random order list of users to guests and members.
Yes, Alphabetical to members only - This option will show an alphabetized list of users to members only.
Yes, Random to members only - This option will show a random order list of users to members only.

Thanks! Go it.

Now, how it will show replying next to the user name?

Is this like instant when someone starts typing ? Does it work in quick reply or advance reply only?

I don't see it to show on my forum... when someone is replying.

Thanks,

Sorry, it's not a dynamic display...when you enter a thread, if someone is composing a reply at that moment using the advanced editor (that is, they have loaded the 'newreply' script), then you will see that they are replying. It works much like the "Who's Online" page with regards to obtaining a user's location, but it does not auto update.

I see,
Anyway, i try with few id's to test it out and i never got that "replying" to show.

Thanks.

Did you enable the product?

Yes, i did.

I am using vb 4.2.2 PL4

Thanks,

Can you describe to me the steps you are taking to test the product?
