Is there any way that the names of those that have viewed the thread, can be placed at the top of the thread, rather than at the bottom please

I've noticed that this function does'nt work with the gold version. But the problem seem to be easy resolved.

In the plugin php code, change this line (sessions):

PHP Code:

            array_push($viewers, "<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"member.php?".$vbulletin->session['sessionurl'] . "u=".$user['userid'] . "\">" . htmlspecialchars($user['username']) .    "</a>");
    } 


to this line:

PHP Code:


            array_push($viewers, "<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"member.php?".$vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "u=".$user['userid'] . "\">" . htmlspecialchars($user['username']) .    "</a>");
    } 


.. then it works again.

Is this to allow the hack to work in gold, or does it add the time stamp?

Like a charm and Clicked install!!

This is EXACTLY what I need guys! Quick question....

Will it work with 3.5 gold, and what code would I wrap around it to show it ONLY to a certain usergroup, and ONLY in a certain forum.

Basically I only want this to show up for my advertisers, and only in the advertising forum so they can see who viewed their ads.

Thanks a ton!

[klaush]

Any idea? Using 3.5 gold:

parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /srv/www/xxx/xxx/vbulletin/showthread.php(1903) : eval()'d code on line 34

Thanks for your help!

[steadicamop]

Installed fine on 3.5.1 - no problems quick install and works well, although doesn't show usergroup types (red = admin etc, but that doesn't matter!)

Thanks!!

[aranthorn]

no problems in vb3.5 gold

[shama]

I will try this one and I hope it works with me

[aranthorn]

Had to un-install, way too much load with 100+ users on line.
