Show Thread Enhancements - Last Seen Online in postbit

This modification will show the last time (and date) the user was online in the postbit template.

Version 2.0 is an improved version of the plug-in I released for vB 3.5.4. One nasty call to can_moderate was removed to save some processing time, all the code was also moved to one plug-in.

If the user is invisible the last online time will not be displayed if you do not have the proper usergroup permissions. The last online time will also not be shown for guest posts.

As far as I know all bugs are fixed in this version. It was tested on vB 3.6 RC3 and vB 3.6.0 (gold). It has not been tested on vBulletin 3.5.

it must be a simple process to make it work for 4.x, right?

It is if you know about coding Mods, wish someone could do it,

If you want just certain usergroups to know last activity, use code like this:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,6)"><div>$vbph rase[join_date]: $post[lastseen_date] $post[lastseen_time]</div></if>

In this <if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,6)"> number 6 represents usergroup that has access to this information. 6 is default for administrators. If you want to enable this for moderators and supermoderators too, use:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,5,6,7)">

How to make it work for vB4?

I just played a bit more with this add-on. There's info for last post user made. And it's also in this cryptic format, so you need to edit add-on and find:

PHP Code:

$this->post['lastseen_time'] = vbdate($this->registry->options['timeformat'], $this->post['lastactivity'], true);
$this->post['lastseen_date'] = vbdate($this->registry->options['dateformat'], $this->post['lastactivity'], true); 


Add this code:

PHP Code:

$this->post['lastpost_time'] = vbdate($this->registry->options['timeformat'], $this->post['lastpost'], true);
$this->post['lastpost_date'] = vbdate($this->registry->options['dateformat'], $this->post['lastpost'], true); 


You should now have this:

PHP Code:

$this->post['lastseen_time'] = vbdate($this->registry->options['timeformat'], $this->post['lastactivity'], true);
$this->post['lastseen_date'] = vbdate($this->registry->options['dateformat'], $this->post['lastactivity'], true);
$this->post['lastpost_time'] = vbdate($this->registry->options['timeformat'], $this->post['lastpost'], true);
$this->post['lastpost_date'] = vbdate($this->registry->options['dateformat'], $this->post['lastpost'], true); 


To add it in postbit (or postbit legacy), just use lastpost_time and lastpost_date the way you like it and where you like it.:up:

Hi,
this is a great mod, I wonder why it's not a default or an option in vbulletin ?
Do you have it updated for 3.8.5 ? I searched but find nothing other than this version.

Thanks,,

I just installed it on vB 3.8.5 and it worked.

I just tested it on my upgrade testing site and it works with vB4 too. You only need to change code you put in postbit (legacy or new one, which I don't use).

My code looks like this (and just to let you know, I use last time user posted in postbit):

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,5,6,7,11)"><dt>Zad.Akt</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.lastseen_date} {vb:raw post.lastseen_time}</dd></vb:if>

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,5,6,7,11)"><dt>Zad.Post</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.lastpost_date} {vb:raw post.lastpost_time}</dd></vb:if>

To explain:

This part

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,5,6,7,11)">

checks if the user is part of this usergroups (I allow it just for moderators and up to see this info). You can check for different conditions.

This is where actual message is written in postbit:

<dt>Zad.Akt</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.lastseen_date} {vb:raw post.lastseen_time}</dd>

. This part:

<dt>Zad.Akt</dt>

, you put your own text respectively, what you want users to see as description for info. Don't forget to close if statement, do it with:

</vb:if>

I don't used any phrasing, it's a bit different if you want to use phrases. You'll need to create phrase and use it.

This add-on can be put to vB4 section with no problem.
