Carter876, take the entire block of code that you are supposed to enter into the Showthread Template and surround it like this:

Code:

 
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,6)">
 
<!-- Inserted code goes here -->
 
</if>

By doing that, you are saying that that code will apply only if the User is a member of Group-ID 6 (which should be the default for Admins).

VitroX · #34 03-31-2004, 12:21 PM

This is a wonderfull hack, thanks for making.

I wonder if it is possible to show the members with color depending of the usergroup where they belongs, per example Admins in red, Mods in blue, etc.

Thanks again.

Hi, Gary! I finally got the chance to install the revised version. And although the problem with the Invisible Users and the Title Bar are fixed (thanks!), the third problem remains. Clicking on a Username still opens up the Profile in a new window, rather than the same one.

p.s. I'm still interested in knowing what I would need to change, if I wanted Invisible Users handled the same way it is on the Forum Home. (i.e. Only shown to those with access to see Invisible Users, suffixed with the "*" character, etc...)

Carter876, the code does the job perfectly. I just tried it myself. Are you sure you implemented it correctly?

The code needs to be inserted into the ShowThread **Template** (NOT Showthread.php). If you put it into ShowThread.php, that would account for the Parse Error.

But in the Template, the complete code to be inserted (including the Admin-Only section) is as follows:

Code:

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

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center"><tbody>
<tr>
<td class="thead">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onClick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_todayactiveusers')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_todayactiveusers" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_todayactiveusers].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
$vbphrase[already_viewed_this_thread]
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_todayactiveusers" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_todayactiveusers]">
<tr>
<td class="alt1"><div class="smallfont">
$thread[viewers]
		</div></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br />

</if>

Also, remember that although I stated that Group-ID 6 should be the default for Admins - that doesn't mean that it's not possible for that to have changed on your system. It's worth double checking both that, as well as the syntax.

To open in same window, remove target="_blank"

Ops you are right

, it now works perfectly :up: Tnx

I have another question (maybe a little bug) and a suggestion:

1.) If I close the collapsable table of "Who viewed this thread" I see my Collapsable table of "Number of Active Users" in Index that is Closed too, why!?
2.) Is there the possibility to signal how many times a user has seen that threads?

Tnx for the help!

Regards

Isotope · #40 04-02-2004, 12:04 AM

What needs to be changed in the code, if I want this bar to be Collapsed by default, rather than expanded?

pcalloway · #41 04-03-2004, 11:07 PM

My table heading is showing as blank rather then stating:

"Already viewed this thread:"

In the phrase manager I used "already_viewed_this_thread" as the Var name and "Already viewed this thread:" as the text. Did I goof something up?
