Display members who have recently read a thread

This modification is no longer available or supported.

If you have the new thread reading system enabled then this hack will use it to display anyone who has recently read a thread. The time limit is determined by your vb options thread marking limit.

You must be using the database thread marking system for this hack to work.


To install this hack, unzip the xml file and import it via the product manager.

The ACP settings are in vbulletin options > thread display options.


Upgrades:

To upgrade from version 2.18 or before, to version 2.21 onwards, you need to uninstall the product and remove the template code in SHOWTHREAD - then upload the new product. To upgrade from version 2.20 onwards, upload the new product with overwrite set to yes.


History:

v2.16 : Added ACP setting to turn the display on/off.
v2.17 : Added ACP setting to restrict which usergroups can view the display.
v2.18 : Added hover display to each username which shows the date/time of the last post (in the thread) at the time the member read it.
v2.19 : Not released.
v2.20 : Not released.
v2.21 : Removed the need to edit the SHOWTHREAD template.
v2.22 : Updated ACP view permission option to take into account secondary
v2.23 : Added 'nofollow' attribute to listed usernames.
v2.24 : Minor changes, no update necessary.

toward the bottom, you make the selection. groups 2,5,6,7 are selected by default

i have attached some images from my testing forum (tempalte= modifications in showtread, product=the activation of the product, ACP=settings, table = my vb3_thread table and thread = the output)
it seems that dosen't work, but i dont understand the reason, maybe the sql in the product?

second part of the post

[microzott]

looking the code in the product, I have notice that I don't have any data in this table... but again... I don't understand the reason :ermm:

Do you have database thread marking turned on ?

wher is it in the ACP? I don't remember and i can't' find it

changing all the if conditions in the product (false -> true in $show['whohasread'] = true now I can see the box, but still with no data
I confirm you that the admin user group is 6

is this one?

Mine not showing

[microzott]

now seems that is working

but I still have two issues to fix
1) find the correct parameter for "The amount of time in days to store the thread and forum read times. All threads or forums without posts in this many days will be considered read."

2) fix the "if" condition for the user groups

[microzott]

don't ask me how... but now is working almost everithing
but i think I have found a real bug:

if you look at the first 2 images, the date and time of the users is completly different from the real forum-time. if you look at the third one, you could see tat the displayed time is exactly the date/time of the post.

obviuosly I was the 2 users in 2 different sessions

Can you help me out with this one also? Can you give step by step instructions on how to correct? Thanks in advance!!
