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.

What setting? There is just the display of who read the thread.

Sadly not. vB does not store this information, so it would require a database change, and extra code.

is there not a way to set the amount of time, or is it default at 14 days? I can't seem to see anything either under the threads, probably because i should be in bed!

14 days is simply what my test system is set to.

Jusr curious here, isn't option 3 (automatic forum marking) the best one to use?

Paul M · #20 07-29-2005, 05:01 AM

Option three adds extra overheads & queries for the forum read checking - and for no percieved advantage by most people. The majority of users just don't seem to pay any attention to forum read markers - as long as their threads are marked, they are happy. But each to their own.

I asked what you thought because this is still all new to me. I'm just getting back into things and there are a lot of new things since 3.0 RC1 (which is what I had) up to now.
