This hack please

Who has read a Thread

Warning: When using the set/reset option - there is only a limited capacity of entries per thread (several thousand) - therefore you should only allow this feature to be used by a limited number of people - typically Staff usergroups. Allowing all members to use it will probably slow down your forum and cause errors if more than about 3000 members set a date on one thread.

Note: You must have the "Show Users Browsing Threads" option set in your vbulletin options for this to display.

A cron job (optionally) allows the deletion of records from the whoread table that are over a certain age - this is provided for large forums where the number of table entries can start to reach a million or more after 12 months. The delete age is a setting in the ACP.

There are also settings for the following (in vBulletin Options > Who Has Read a Thread) ;

1. Turn the system on/off.
2. Restrict the display to certain usergroups
3. Restrict the IP display to certain usergroups.
4. Restrict the display to a set number of days.
5. Option to allow thread author to view who read information.
6. Option to turn on the who read cutoff date (reset) function
7. Restrict use of reset function to certain usergroups.
8. Option to set whoread data records to be cleaned out after xxx days.
9. Clicking on a user will display a page of their thread viewing history, most recent first.

Note: When using option 4 or the set/reset facility, the data is still kept beyond this limit, so they can be changed at any time.

Download the zip, extract the XML file and import using the vb Product Manager.

Popups? This mod uses the default vbulletin dropdown menu...
Some of my other mods don't work well with vbulletin default dropdown menus... other type {Chrome}?

Adding popups code to text window

UPDATED Dropdowns to work on all eight minitabbars
added the ability to turn on/off all eight dropdowns...
added the ability to control register and ID names on all eight dropdowns...

Here is the default popup code that works with the two current options within this Mod...

Step 5

Making changes to popup template?

There is a tutorial by Kerry Anne that helps with this...>>> Adding Popups <<<

Only edit popups textarea in minitabbars options to make changes to dropdown windows...

Last,,, add $minitabbar1 to NAVBAR template at top under <br/>... save
Goto CMPS and add $minitabbar1 or minitabbar1 to global option in main options... save

Ultimate Navbar for vB3.7

Installation Instructions:
Step 1: Go to your Admin CP
Scroll down to 'Plugin System'
Click 'Manage Products'
Click 'Add/Import Product'
Click the 'Browse' button, and locate the product-ultimate_navbar_greeting.xml file on your computer

Step 2: Go to your Admin CP
Scroll down to 'User profile Fields'
Click 'Add New User Profile Field'
Choose 'Single-Line Text Box' for Profile Field Type
Enter the following information:

Title: Real Name
Description: Your first name:
Max length of allowed user input: 25
Field Length: 25
Profile Field Type: Single-Line Text Box
Field Required: No
Field Editable by User: Yes
Private Field: No
Field Searchable on Members List: Yes
Show on Members List: Yes
Which page displays this option? Edit Your Details

NOTE: These are my settings. Your mileage may vary.

Step 3: Go to vBulletin Options -> Ultimate Navbar
--Real Name Profile Field Number: Set the profile field number of your Real Name profile field. (Example: field5 would be 5)
--Top Navbar Links: Click yes to add a row of links to the top of the navbar.
--Automatic Greeting Template Edit: Click yes to do the automatic template edit for the Ultimate Navbar Greeting.
--Check 'Remember Me' Box: Click yes to check the 'Remember Me' checkbox automatically.

NOTE: If you chose to do the Automatic Greeting Template Edit, ignore Step 4, as this will be done automatically.

NOTE: If you are running Paul M's Unread Posts and Reputation mod you will need to make the changes in this post.

If you are not seeing the greeting after installing this hack, check out this post first. It seems a few hacks are changing the default line in the navbar template causing the automatic template replace to not work.
