if you are even just an intermediate php coder, it is one of the easiest thing to do.
Just store users details in database when they login and update the page url each time they enter any page. Then on pages like this reply page, select logged users whose page url matches the current page. Those are the ones viewing it.
Its pretty easy.

Although I haven't tried your method but I have this feeling it may not work. But I figured a way out. When users login update their logged in status to anything then update their topics view with the id of the topic they are viewing, check the id of each topic viewed with the number of users that have same Id in topics _view then echo it out smiley

You dissapointed me there cos I was hoping to hear why you think it wont work. You havent tried it yet you have a 'feeling' it wont work. Ok ooo. That sounds like arrogance to me since you are just thinking about doing such an age long process for the first time and yet you 'feel' a suggestion you are given wont work without tendering any technical reason why you think so.
Your method is just not very different from what I said earlier except it has some few shortcomings. What about pages without querystrings?
Again my method also incorporates guest viewers who are counted by generating unique session id on entering the site.
Lastly, I am not profering an idea that might work, I only told you what I have been doing for years now.
Anyway I have a feeling contributed my own bit to the discussion.

Well, if i were to do it, it would be a long code but will work.. See how:

- Create a database table for people viewing a thread
- Insert usernames into that table whenever the person visit the thread and stays on it..
- Have a cron job that clears the table eery 10 minutes in case the person switch off his phone or just leaves nairaland grin

Trust me, it will work. hahaha

Am sorry I don't mean to be arrogant bro wink and sorry for my quick judgement. I just thought that since I will use a single page to pull out topics according to the user request and automatically carry out the list of ppl viewing the topic, but you seem to knock me out with the guest thing, never thought of guests viewing too wink

c'mon that is no big deal....imagine i develop a school portal system in php and you are a good python developer, you can easily develop same school portal with python.

there is also many ways to convert php codes to python like php2py and others

SEUN,

How did a thread on bestiality, complete with picture, get on the Nairaland homepage?

It was at page 10 when I saw it around late afternoon/evening of Sunday, May 10. And I did not have to be logged in to view it.

I await your response.
