Beta 1 has been released. Please report any bugs or issues encountered.

One thing I should probably make more clear is the footsteps icon is used to access the tracking tool. In subsilver2 it is near the top of the first post. In prosilver it is near the center of the footer bar.

for a good control, this mod might be used.

thank you!!

This mod would be so much more useful if the "Stop author view increase" can be incorporated.

Problems with this line:
'U_TOPIC_TRACKER' => ($auth->acl_get('m_info', $forum_id)) ? append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}topic_view_tracker.$phpEx", "t=$topic_id", true, $user->session_id) : '',

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING

[Wauziweb]

You have to add this line before and NOT after the line to find!!!

When I try to run the sql command through phpmyadmin I get this error:

Code: Select all

 MySQL said: Documentation
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '$sql= "CREATE TABLE " . $table_prefix . "topic_tracker (
    topi 

For a quick glance from anyone who can help the sql part is this:

Code: Select all

$sql= "CREATE TABLE " . $table_prefix . "topic_tracker ( 
	topic_id mediumint(8) NOT NULL, 
	user_id mediumint(8) NOT NULL, 
	view_time int(11) NOT NULL, 
	last_ip varchar(40) character set utf8 collate utf8_bin NOT NULL,
	view_count int(11) NOT NULL default '1'";

There have most likely been some database changes made by the developers. I will try and get out an updated version soon.

[ghettowboy]

cool, looking forward to it

[BondGamer]

I actually forgot to save the download files when updating the forum. A new download will be available soon which is compatible with RC7.
