Last Seen Online in postbit

Update

"This e-mail is begin sent to inform all users of my modification that I am ending support for this version today. I have moved on to vBulletin version 3.6.x and will no longer be working with older versions of the software, as such I will no longer be updating or supporting this version of the last seen online modification.

If you're running vBulletin 3.6.x you can find an updated version of the last seen online modification here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123366 This new version (dubbed 2.0) includes some misc bug fixes and performance improvements.

If you're running version 1.6 of the modification on vBulletin 3.6, or plan on upgrading to vBulletin 3.6 soon you should do the following:

1) Un-install the Last seen online product via the admin cp.
2) Upgrade to vBulletin 3.6 (if you haven't already).
3) Download the new version from this thread (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123366) and follow the instructions in the file install.txt

The new version is not tested with 3.5.

Thank you for using my modification! I appreciate all the wonderful feedback I get from you guys via PM, e-mail, and the public forums."

I would upgrade, simply because the old version showed the last online time when a user was invisable.

One thing I've noticed is that if a user gets pruned, their last online date/time shows as 12-31-1969 06:00 PM. I'm assuming that it would be the same on boards that allow unregistered users to post. Any way to not show the line if the user is not registered?

To remove the time simply remove

PHP Code:

$post[lastseen_time] 


From the postbit template.

This plug-in uses the vBulletin date settings, see this page http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/v...group_datetime

I'll provide a fix for this soon.
