I installed this after upgrading to 4.2.0 (first, uninstalled all previous plugins).

So, I had to import the whoread table from my old database via phpmyadmin (I emptied the new db whoread tables frist). It imported 23MB. However, no difference shows on all threads, especially sticky threads that have thousands of views.

What did I miss to update the stats?

Thanks

Hey Paul, would appreciate your help my friend

The old modification whoread table is not used by the core WRT code in 4.2, it uses its own table(s).

Not seeing it in 4.2, and gave turned it on at: Settings > Options > Thread Display Options

So if I am reading this correctly @Paul M, once I update my site to 4.2, I will lose the features you list in black, until you release an update? This means all usergroups will be able to see the list of who read? Currently I only let my staff see it, and we use it along with your member tracking mod for tracking purposes and to see where people go in the site. It's too bad some of the best features of your mods are missing in the core move to vb4.2

Nope, I think you have misread something.

after installing i figured it out. the permissions are in the usergroup manager. when i read your list, i took it to mean the ones in brown were built into vb 4.2, and the ones you list in black would be unavailable until you released an update for 4.2.

some of the things in black are in 4.2 core, but the one that is most important to what staff does on my site, specifically number 9 (9. Clicking on a user will display a page of their thread viewing history, most recent first.) does not seem to be available in 4.2.

to get around it, i disabled the vb 4.2 built in one and re-enabled your 4111 version. it seems to be working just fine

They are available for 4.2.

You should remove this completely and use the 4.2 Thread Reader Enhancements mod.

@Paul M
So all the data from this mod is no longer usable.. in vb4.2 (it wasn't carried over)
when it uninstalls the table is still in the DB with all the info in it.
was the table spared for a further merge? to move it over /integrate into the core version?
or can / should delete it?
thanks

[Paul M]

The table was spared in the upgrade so you could, if you wanted, transfer the data over.

However, you would need to write your own code or queries to do this.

Note: If you uninstall the old version via the Product Manager, it will remove the old table.

ah yes ok, see what happens when you dont read everything... me = :fail:

question though, is there any reason why i shouldnt keep using 4111? it seems to be working and i want to keep my previous data. I use it for tracking and reports, and I am unfortunately not good enough to write my own codes and queries to do it

[Paul M]

There might be a variable name clash between them on some of the settings, and duplication of the functionality, other than that I think it would probably work ok.
