Date & Time of Profile Visitor [Archive]

Lynne

06 Jan 2009, 21:34

A simple mod to show the date and time of the profile visitor when you hover your cursor over their username in Recent Visitors in member.php.

1. Go to your Admin CP > Plugins & Products > Download / Upload Plugins > Upload the sml file profile_visitor_datetime.xml

2. Change the template "memberinfo_visitorbit" from:

Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------

To:

Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------

Save the template.

3. Open the file includes/class_profileblock.php and find the following line around line 1159:

Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------

Add above it:

Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------

Save and upload the file.

This was written for and tested on my 3.8.0 RC1 board.

Usergroup permissions or do we have to add conditionals?

Lynne

08 Jan 2009, 00:30

You could just add a condition either around the php code (added in step 3) or the template code (added in step 2). Either will work.

great mod. does anyone know of a way to make the profile visitors show up in the order of when they visited rather than in alphabetical order?

Comment out the line in class_profileblock.php that sorts them:

Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------

So do I, but unfortunately I couldn't find a way around it.

Regarding to 'azhers' post, and your reply....

'great mod. does anyone know of a way to make the profile visitors show up in the order of when they visited rather than in alphabetical order?'

In includes/class_profileblock.php
I found mentioned line

Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------

But what to change here to show up vistitors in mentioned order ?

Lynne

Just comment out that line like I showed (put the // in front of it).

Thanks Lynne, edited that long time ago :D

Now just upgraded to Vb 3.8.1 and had to change stuff again in includes/class_profileblock.php...works just great

What I wanted to ask can this work out for blogs just the same !?

Any pointers !?

Lynne

09 Feb 2009, 21:32

The idea would be the same for the blog, however since I don't have the blog add-on, I can't try it out.

Hi Lynne....is this goin to make it work with vB 4.0.2?

hope so...

best regards

;)

Lynne

06 Mar 2010, 21:15

I don't see why it couldn't work in 4.0.2 except the template edit would be different for 4.0.

07 Mar 2010, 09:42

Change this line:

---------------

To this:

Code:
---------------

And you also have the variable name wrong in the template, it should be title="{vb:raw userdateline}"

princeedward

10 Mar 2010, 13:10

....hmmm...did it too that variable way but also didn't go well... but now i got it...million thanks once again Lynne for your never ending assistance or support here and there...just informed my members and they're really quite happy about this...

113820

so tested to my vb default skin and style skin...we can release it to vB4.0.0 Modification Section...i mean... YOU can release it now...if you have time enough :p

;)

Lynne

10 Mar 2010, 14:47

what i mean...is YOU can release it now...if you have time enough :p
Unfortunately, time is something I don't have a lot of these days. You are welcome to release it in the vB4 section if you'd like.

Hi Lynne,

If the last visit has been today, instead of displaying "12-30-2010, 14:20" it should display "Today, 14:20". If the last visit has been yesterday, instead of displaying "12-29-2010, 14:20" it should display "Yesterday, 14:20".

Could you please tell me how to do so?

Thank you,
Jonathan
I believe you can just add a 3rd parameter to the vbdate function call and set it to true. You can read about the function in the API here - http://members.vbulletin.com/api/

Hi Lynne,

I'm not a programmer so I believe that I'm going to be unable to achieve that myself. If you get some free time soon hope you can give me a hand with this.

Thank you,
Jonathan

As I said, you just add a third parameter of true to the date:

Hi Lynne,

Thanks for your reply! It's working fine in vB 3.8.5 :)

http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/7162/demoz.gif

Just an important detail about my members are complaining. Everyone can see the date/time of the visit even in profiles of other members. I think that only the profile owner should be able to see that information.

How I can apply the conditional?

Thank you,
Jonathan
Probably just put a condition about the php code you added to the file. Something like:

Code:
---------------

jscieza

31 Dec 2010, 00:23

Thanks for your kind reply Lynne!

I applied the conditional and now I can't see the date/time even in my own profile :mad:

Lynne

31 Dec 2010, 04:14

Thanks for your kind reply Lynne!

I applied the conditional and now I can't see the date/time even in my own profile :mad:
That's what I get for not taking my own advise and actually looking at the code in the file to determine the variable names!

Did uninstall this one as for VB4, but installed again as mod for VB4 is not working :D

Simple edit which still works from here is:
includes/class_profileblock.php

Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

Would like to see date and time for VB4 but ..... even this is something for my users
