Can you just disable the postbit part and still use the rest?

[Ideal Web Tech]

We have finished work on version 1.1.1 and have released it on our site (www.idealwebtech.com), but we have already started work on version 1.2.0 which will contain another major feature we would like to get implemented and ideally released later today.

Release Notes (Version 1.1.1)
To upgrade simple install the new product. Warning installing this version will reset your current time online counters! The counters must be reset for the new average time online feature to function properly.

• Added the average time per day function
• Added 4 settings used for controlling display of the Time Online and Avg. Time Online for both profile and postbit.
• A few optimizations for memory/performance

The main reason this version is not being released on vBulletin.org is that we plan to be releasing the next major upgrade (version 1.2.0) on vBulletin.org very soon.

New features to come in version 1.2.0:

• Leader Board showing members with the largest total & average times online
• Ability to toggle between short & long time unit names (ex. Secs instead of Seconds)

Please Note: This feature list may change at any time and/or some features may be pushed to a later version release.

If you have any more suggestions for what you would like added, please submit them at http://www.idealwebtech.com/threads/...-Online-v1.1.0, and we will look into adding them.

Thank you,

In iwt_timespentonline_postbit

Replace

<div class="smallfont">{vb:rawphrase iwt_timespentonline}: {vb:raw post.timespentonline_formatted}</div>

With

<!-- <div class="smallfont">{vb:rawphrase iwt_timespentonline}: {vb:raw post.timespentonline_formatted}</div> -->

Actually, that's not needed anymore, there is now a setting to disable the postbit values in version 1.1.1.

Simply upgrade your script and set it to not show in your vBulletin settings. Version 1.1.1 of the script can be downloaded from http://www.idealwebtech.com/threads/...-Online-v1.1.0, or you can wait for us to post version 1.2.0 on vBulletin.org within the next couple hours.

When you say installing this product resets time online counters - do you mean from the first release version to the next, or somewhere in native vBulletin?

When you install version any version 1.1.1 or higher when you currently had 1.1.0 installed. To repeat this will only effect people upgrading from 1.1.0.

Update on 1.2.0

We are currently have a basic leader board working, but are still working to improve its functionality and looks. We should have this released later tonight.
