[VB3 RC3] Board Spent Time

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

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

I just realized this is for VB3 RC3... I am running VB3 3.0.1 would this have any effect on it?

I was having some problems so I did some modifications (nothing major); hopefully, it can help others.

PHP Code:

// ================================================= \\
 // == [ BOARD SPENT ONLINE BY KENTAURUS - GTP BEGIN ]
 $jointime = (TIMENOW - $userinfo['joindate']) / 86400; // Days Joined
 if ($jointime < 1)
 { // User has been a member for less than one day.
     $show['timespent'] = explain_time($userinfo['timespent']);
     $show['avgtimespent'] = $show['timespent'];
 }
 else
 {
     $show['avgtimespent'] = explain_time(floor($userinfo['timespent'] / $jointime));    
     $show['timespent'] = explain_time($userinfo['timespent']);
 }
 // == [ 00-00-2004 - GTP END ]
 // ================================================= \\

I'm using vb3.0.3 and it shows up but almost eveyrone is < 1 sec, and for myself it's been stuck at 35 seconds. So i count this as not working at all.

And princeton, if your going to show some code, it would help others if you let us know where that goes.

[Osterling]

does this hack take awhile to kick in cuz right now i am just getting

Time spent in forums: < 1 sec
Average time: < 1 sec

[Osterling]

it says:

Run the following queries. You can do it via phpmyadmin, or at the
"Execute SQL Query" section at the Admin Control Panel
Remember to prefix the table if you need to

alter table user add timespent int not null;

is there more then one query i need to run because the Average time: < 1 sec isn't changing
