thank you for your work sooner said than done!

Nice addon, used to like having this on vB!

I made a request labas .... never taken into account!

Now that I think about it. I can't believe this isn't in the core. Could be very useful when introducing a new theme to see exactly how many users adapted to the change and how many users went back to an old theme.

 

[MattW]

anybody interested in it looking like this?

I was going to suggest something more pleasing to the eye so a definite yes Matt.

 

[MattW]

This feature should be default/builtin.

Great mod very useful. I had something similar made on vbulletin, but it showed on the forum home and in the postbit of each user the style they were using

 

[Reeve of Shinra]

This is very helpful ... i don't need it right this moment but in the past when I've had multiple themes, I wanted to know how many people were using each to see if it was worth keeping.

@MattW this is just for display purposes right? It doesn't add any extra queries in the front end or slow down your forum at all? I'd assume it doesn't since you're probably just collecting the information and displaying it here.

Correct. They query is only ran when you view that specific page in the ACP. The data is already in the tables, it's just pulling it out. You can se the query being used if you look at the PHP file in the model folder

I do not like the sql queries (thank you for the code).
If there is an add-on to be able to know, in the administrator panel, how many members are on particular styles, will be much easier to manage styles.

I might just build that

Thanks for this! My mobile theme isn't listed. http://www.8thos.com/misc/style?style_id=129

 

[MattW]

Are you using an automatic style switcher for it?

 

[DRE]

Yeah.

 

[MattW]

I don't think that actually sets it in the database for the user, which is why it's not showing. There will be no one in there with style_id 129 which is why it's not showing in the results (can't create results if there aren't any records of it)

 

[dwi]

Is this accurate? This is from your AddOn

And this is exact counting from sql.

It should at least somewhere write exact numbers as a alternative for this fancy pancy graph

 

[D.O.A.]

Great add-on Matt, thanks for sharing it.

Is it possible to add the tooltip/count of users to show when you hover over the side display of themes? Because of the amount our members using a certain theme it's kinda impossible to hover over the smallest used one for its details
