[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,
Can you please at least post a removal tool if you are not planning to make this hack work in vB3gold?

Awesome. Works perfect with my old timeonline column from VB2

Also works perfect on 3.01 if anyone's wondering.

No, it doesn't. It uses the existing session query. It adds NO queries

It's installed on my forums and is working properly as you can see by visiting:

http://www.V6F150.com/forums and by viewing any thread.

I do have one problem however... there are a few members that visit daily yet their total time spent is stuck on a particular time 5 minutes say. another one of my admins has only 30 minutes yet he spends alot of time there as well.

It seems to be working fine for me and a bunch of other members but for some it is not working.

I know on a few it's not really working with is members who use AOL services. Maybe this could be a problem behind it?

How exactly does it calculate the time spent... cookies?

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