[VB3 RC3] Board Spent Time

This hack keeps track of how much time a user has been online at the
forums and adds it to the information in any of his posts, then any
other user can see if you have been 1 hour, 5 hours, 1 day or even up
to years online at the forum.

Also this hack calculates an "average time online" in a very similar way to
how the average posts works.

Thanks to the people that suggested this hack in the request forum, it is
a really nice one and a very fun one too!

Keep in mind this hack will only start tracking the time that you are online once you install it, it has no way of knowing how much time you had been on the forums before.


*Update*: You can show the board spent time in your memberlist, then you can use your memberlist as a leaderboard. For this modification see this post: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....6&postcount=50

I installed this and now when I try to bring up a member profile all I get is a white page of nothing. The hack seems to be working though. What could I have screwed up?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Chances are there is either a templated screwed up (or missing from an alternative style) or there is a space or newline after the closing "?>" in one of the edited php-files.

thats not in functions_showthread.php

thats in functions_reputation.php, i guess that was changed after RC3, so where do i put this, can it go anywhere in showthread?

It's in /includes/functions_reputation.php

I made the change there and it's working on my boards.

i made the modifications in functions_showtread but i'm getting less than 1 second

Have had this installed for a while on two different boards. It's been fine on my first board, but my second board I have noticed some member's time is lower that it used to be..

Is there any possible way time can go down?

It's somehow happening and I would LOVE to get suggestions. Any ideas?

Please and thank you!
