Instructions = "Open includes/class_score.php"

Guess that should be "Open includes/class_core.php" ?

Get this error when trying to add template edit !

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /usr/home/techguys/public_html/forum/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3519) : eval()'d code on line 91

Will install once someone confirms it works for them

Ok found the error in the template edit :-

<div>
<strong>Time spent on board:</strong><br /> $post['timeonboard']
</div>

should be :-

<div>
<strong>Time spent on board:</strong><br /> $post[timeonboard]
</div>

Clicked install

[Daniel]

Anyway to install without running a query?

This is not an Extention as it requires editing of the source code. Good'n though.

How does it calculate the time?

It tracks the time when a user start to login 'til (s)he logout (or timeout), then add up to total & store in database.

and yes, it should be in Code Modification forum instead. I was confused by vB 3.5 release forums. :ermm:

Okay, if there is no way to use this without a query, how would I do it in phpMyAdmin? But when I submit the query I get "You have to choose at least one column to display"
