[VB3 RC3] Board Spent Time · **Released**: 01-19-2004

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

Info for hackers:
You may modify, improve, upgrade, redistribute this hack, include it
in another hack or yours or translate it provided you do it free of
charge and you distribute it in www.vbulletin.org at least, there is no
need to pm me asking for permission

kentaurus --

it's working great for me now -- is there anyway to take out the "seconds" though on the display in the forums?

It uh... doesn't work for me

I've got it installed on my forums (www.theapostleofgod.com/forums).

I'm using RC3. I followed the instructions, made the postbit changes, updated the sql db, updated all the files, uploaded them all.

I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I dont' get anny errors, but I don't see the time online

--Sadly, I have to take this hack out, it has affected new user registration

Is there a way to remove this from being shown for administrators?

You don't seem to have it installed in that URL. The postbit/memberinfo templates show nothing about the users. At the very least it should show < 1 sec. Maybe it is the template modifications?

I don't see how it could break new user registration. It doesn't modify the register.php at all.

In the postbit template you might have added something like:

Code:

Time in board: $post[timespent]

Change it to:

Code:

<if condition="$post[usergroupid]!=6">
Time in board: $post[timespent]
</if>

Then it is not shown for the administrators

lets try </if> instead of /if>

Its working great thanks

Works in my forum. You remembered to go to ACP and check that Board Spent Time checkboxes, right?

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