Last Post Activity

[grandpamo]

I was wondering when you click on the "members" section there is "Last Online", and "Date Registered" sections. Is it possible to see on a particular thread when "Last Posted". I know you can see recently posts through everyone. But is there a way to see the individual date for everyone on the thread? Is there a specific plugin that can do this?


Thanks!

JavaScript can only work with what is in the page already. It can't go and fetch new data from the server. The plugin just remembers the date every time a member posts and that is what gets displayed.

If the last post info was already available to work with, the plugin wouldn't need the key to store it.. But likely if its was already available it would already be displaying anyways.

The magic phrase in pretty much all tracking type plugins is "from here on out"

I did a quick install of the plugin and discovered it has a bug with not recording posts made using quick reply (full reply registers fine). The bug was introduced in June of 2017 when the quick reply form was given more than one class and unfortunately the code is looking for a single class. The good news is you can fix this yourself since the plugin is editable:

Javascript Component:

1. Line 33

   var hook = (form.attr("class") == "form_thread_new")? "thread_new" : ((form.attr("class") == "form_post_quick_reply")? "post_quick_reply" : "post_new");Replace withvar hook = (form.hasClass("form_thread_new"))? "thread_new" : ((form.hasClass("form_post_quick_reply"))? "post_quick_reply" : "post_new");
   

2. Line 35

   proboards.plugin.key(this.KEY).set_on(hook, null, + new Date());Replace withproboards.plugin.key(this.KEY).set_on(hook, pb.data('user').id||null, + new Date());

Follow the arrows below. Plugins must be .pbp format.



It's that simple!

Wow... Never saw this! Thanks!

Okay two things //

1. I can't edit the plugin.

2. And the plugin doesn't work on people who are invisible I believe.

How do I fix this?

Also how do I make it where certain people can see the "Members" Tab.

Okay I believe its also not working for people that is posting "via mobile"

It works for some but not others. Here is the link to the forum: mafiascum-closedgame.freeforums.net/

Thank you.

Just an FYI, grandpamo:

1. Not all plugins are able to be edited by anyone except the plugin author;

2. Plugins do not currently work on mobile (V6 will change that, but no ETA on release date yet), unless the user switches to Desktop Mode.

Though, this plugin is claimed to be editable by Chris.

Plugins do not work on mobile. Follow instructions given above to fix the plugin not recording posts for people who use the quick reply. There have been no reports of the plugin having other issues so we'll treat this as being misdiagnosed and actually stemming from the plugin not reporting on posts made via the quick reply (fix that first with the fix given above in my first post)

To comply with privacy concerns and statutes, that page is viewable by only logged in members. Are you wishing to further restrict via group affiliation, individuals, other?

1. I still don't see it.

Look at image below:



Are you able to give me the update version in a pbp file? or is that not allowed. Thanks.

2. Gotcha, just gotta still find a way to edit this.

3. Yea I wanted just a certain group of people to see it due to ease of access of my forum game -- the group "Host" will be able to see it and be able to prod people if they have not posted in a certain time. And members shouldn't see it due to people being able to cheat. I hope you understand.

I suspect you got the version in the online library while I got the one posted in the thread (quoted above with the comment "manual Install" added by me within the quote) apparently the one in the library is not editable as your screenshot shows.

You can set the permission of any plugin installed on your forum to apply or not apply to any group thus restricting who can see the info added by that particular plugin

1. Got it. Works now and updated it with the code. Thanks!

2. I am assuming this is the only thing that you can restrict, nothing else that would be on the members tab?

Are you saying you're looking to restrict access to the member list page beyond the data this particular plugin adds to that page? Can you be specific, give examples?

Due to privacy TOS or something, I can't remove the members tab to certain people I am assuming, so is there anything I can do to further restrict -- fwiw a loophole that could remove like date registered, last online etc.

This is still somewhat vague because only you would know with certainty what "certain people" and "etc." mean and coding requires something quite a bit more specific than that. There are tutorials on how to remove specific data from the page such as:

Hey all.  I'm wanting to edit the columns of the member list so that certain columns don't show (such as user name and date registered)

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi kzweyr ,

To remove columns from the member page, follow these instructions:

1) Visit your admin panel, then navigate to Themes > Layout Templates.

2) On the next page, click the link for "Members". Once here, look for lines 20 and 23 which should read:

<th class="username $[sortable_class.username]">Username</th>
and

<th class="date-registered $[sortable_class.registered_on]">Date Registered</th>

3) Find the above lines and then delete them from the list.

4) Once that's been done, click the tab for "Member List".

5) On this next page, look for lines 5 and 8 which should read:

<td class="username">$[user.username]</td>
and

<td class="date-registered">$[user.registered_on]</td>

6) Find the above lines and remove them as well. Once that's done, click the "Save Changes" button and you should now see both columns removed from the members list

To have only staff able to view the members page you could try replacing the contents on the second tab ("Members List") with the following:

{if !$[user] || !$[current_user.is_staff]} <!-- non-staff will see this -->
<tr><td colspan="7" class="last center">No members were found.</td></tr>
{else} <!-- staff will see the full list -->
{foreach $[user]}
<tr id="$[user.content_id]" class="$[user.content_class] clickable" {if $[user.ip]}data-ip="$[user.ip]"{/if}>
<td class="checkbox clickable">$[user.checkbox]</td>
<td class="name target">$[user]</td>
<td class="username">$[user.username]</td>
<td class="rank">{if $[user.group]}$[user.group.name]{else}$[user.rank.name]{/if}</td>
<td class="posts">$[user.posts]</td>
<td class="date-registered">$[user.registered_on]</td>
<td class="last-online last">{if $[user.is_online]}Member is Online{else}$[user.last_online]{/if}</td>
</tr>
{/foreach}
{/if}

It should be noted that most removed information can be gleaned from alternate sources such as profile
