"Users browsing this thread"

Here's what I did when I first written the hack for vB.org.
Since nakkid's query was wrong, I got permission from him to post my version.

Anyway, this is using vbHacker so you'll need that. See my signature for a link about that.

This hack adds a list of users currently browsing the thread you see. It requires another field in the user table and no new queries except for showthread.php. It's based of the "Users browsing forum" feature so it was easy.

Cheers.

I just did this hack and got no errors but its not working. Where it would show the users browsing is nothing but spaces. Does not even say "users browsing this thread". I looked in showthread template and its got $onlinestatus. What could be wrong, I am running 2.2.5

Could This Work on other pages......
like just a normal page.. could i have somewhere on that page it saying... "Users Viewing this Page"

I've installed this on my board which is version 2.2.5 and it works great. I'm so happy that you guys are willing to share your hacks with us non-programmers. Thanks again.

When I installed it using vbhacker, it was only showing MY name in any given thread. I finally figured out why.

in showthread.php, this code:

PHP Code:

// Get users browsing this forum
if ($showforumusers) {
    $datecut = $ourtimenow - $cookietimeout;
    $browsers = '';
    $comma = '';
    $threadusers = $DB_site->query("
        SELECT username,invisible,userid
        FROM user
        WHERE inthread=$thread[threadid]
        AND lastactivity>$datecut
        AND lastvisit<>lastactivity
    ");
    while ($threaduser = $DB_site->fetch_array($threadusers)) {
        if ((!$threaduser['invisible'] or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6) and $bbuserinfo['userid'] != $threaduser['userid']) {
            $userid = $threaduser['userid'];
            $username = $threaduser['username'];
            if ($threaduser['invisible'] == 1) {
                $invisibleuser = '*';
            } else {
                $invisibleuser = '';
             }
            eval("\$browsers .= \"".$comma.gettemplate('forumdisplay_loggedinuser')."\";");
            $comma = ', ';
        }
    }
    if ((!$bbuserinfo['invisible'] or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6) and $bbuserinfo['userid'] <> 0) {
        $userid = $bbuserinfo['userid'];
        $username = $bbuserinfo['username'];
        if ($bbuserinfo['invisible'] == 1) {
            $invisibleuser = '*';
        } else {
            $invisibleuser = '';
        }
        eval("\$browsers .= \"".$comma.gettemplate('forumdisplay_loggedinuser')."\";");
    }
    if ($browsers) {
        eval("\$onlineusers = \"".gettemplate('showthread_browsing')."\";");
    }
} 


was not being added to the file. This code:

PHP Code:

updateuserforum($thread['forumid'], $thread['threadid']); 


WAS added to the file though. Once I pasted in the missing code block, everything worked fine.
