Change Cookie timestamp?
 
To compensate for the madness of cookies in vBulletin (I love EVERY ASPECT of vB except this!), I'd like to write a hack to allow users to manually enter their last visit time if the forum decides to take a dump.

For instance, I last visited my forum 24 hours ago. I went to visit the Admin CP this morning and check on a few things. I did not know that this would mark my cookie on the forum as "viewed EVERYTHING".

So I went to the forum about 20 min later and View New Posts is EMPTY.

I tried to change the timestamp in the cookie, but it just keeps rejecting it and giving me the Unregistered page.


{EDIT: So I dug around for anywhere that used bblastvisit. Changing anything in sessions.php to look at $HTTP_GET_VARS was fruitless, but this worked!...}


To add a "roll the clock back" function to your vBulletin (tested with vB2.3.0):

1. Open /forums/member.php

2. Find
PHP Code:
// ############################### start mark all forums read
if ($action=="markread") { 
3. Above it, add:

PHP Code:
// ## Start Force New Timestamp
if ($action=="bblastvisit") {
  $templatesused = 'redirect_updatethanks';
  include("./global.php");
  if ($bbuserinfo[userid]!=0 and $bbuserinfo[userid]!=-1) {
    $DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET lastactivity='".$HTTP_GET_VARS['bblastvisit'].
"',lastvisit='".$HTTP_GET_VARS['bblastvisit']."' WHERE userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]'");
  } else {
    vbsetcookie("bblastvisit",$HTTP_GET_VARS['bblastvisit']);
  }
  eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_updatethanks").
"\",\"index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]\");");
}
// ## End Force New Timestamp 
4. Save and upload.

To roll back the clock, visit your forum with a valid unix timestamp on the end:
http://www.yourforum.com/forums/memb...t&bblastvisit=[unixtimestamp]

To generate a unix time stamp, try this:
http://www.4webhelp.net/us/timestamp.php

Eventually, I will create a template that lets people select the time they want to go back to.

This can be moved to General Discussion. Eventually, it will be a genuine hack.

We've been considering a similar solution ourselves, however we were focusing on storing the timestamp in the database.

There is a hack on here somewhere that suggests that it might do this already. Persistent mark read I think? We started to look at it but had to put it aside for the 2.3.0 upgrade and associated bug fixing.

I'll keep you posted with any solutions we might look into.
