Display members who have recently read a thread · **Released**: 07-15-2005

This modification is no longer available or supported.

If you have the new thread reading system enabled then this hack will use it to display anyone who has recently read a thread. The time limit is determined by your vb options thread marking limit.

You must be using the database thread marking system for this hack to work.

To install this hack, unzip the xml file and import it via the product manager.

The ACP settings are in vbulletin options > thread display options.

Upgrades:

To upgrade from version 2.18 or before, to version 2.21 onwards, you need to uninstall the product and remove the template code in SHOWTHREAD - then upload the new product. To upgrade from version 2.20 onwards, upload the new product with overwrite set to yes.

History:

v2.16 : Added ACP setting to turn the display on/off.
v2.17 : Added ACP setting to restrict which usergroups can view the display.
v2.18 : Added hover display to each username which shows the date/time of the last post (in the thread) at the time the member read it.
v2.19 : Not released.
v2.20 : Not released.
v2.21 : Removed the need to edit the SHOWTHREAD template.
v2.22 : Updated ACP view permission option to take into account secondary
v2.23 : Added 'nofollow' attribute to listed usernames.
v2.24 : Minor changes, no update necessary.

I wish there was, but the marking system does not store this data.

Nice hack but can you change the text handling?
Currently the text is hardcoded.

It would be nice to have things like

"Have Read This Thread In The Last"
and
"Members"
"Day"

etc. as phrases.

I cannot use the hack on board with more than one language.

I am allergic to any setting that says "server intensive". :ermm:

Yes, at some point, when I have the time, I will be converting this (and a few others) to use phrases.

A server that cannot handle thread marking is not going to handle your forum for very long. It's an OTT warning IMO.

Now updated to a product and phrased. There is no need to upgrade unless you need the phrasing. If you want to upgrade then delete the existing plugin, import the product and replace the template code with the new version.

Hmmmm. I just tried installing this. I installed it as a "Product", did the template modification (twice to make sure it was right). Tried to check the vBoptions/General Settings, and couldn't find the 2 options. I tried visiting a post, and there's nothing showing up. I'm assuming it would display under the "Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread"?

Anyway, I'm using 3.5.0 GOLD. Any ideas?

Thanks

You must have the database thread marking system active for it to be visible.

vBulletin Options > General Settings > Thread/Forum Read Marking Type

and

vBulletin Options > General Settings > Database Read Marking Limit

Thank you very much. You were right. I didn't have the Marking System enabled through the database. Thanks again!!!

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
