I'm trying to access the $last_visit_timestamp in another template than content/newpostings.tpl, but it returns blank.
How can I access this from other templates?

Hi,
If you have a user object in the template, it's simply
{$user.last_visit}

Strange.. I do a {$node|attribute(show,4)} on a user full view, but I still can't find anything relating to the last visit timestamp.
Are you sure about this? :)

Yes, I'm very sure because I enabled the last_visit functional attribute in the ezuser class :)
However, if you're using 3.6 you'll have to wait for 3.6.1 because it was added after the release of 3.6.0. If you're using the 3.5 line, it is available in 3.5.3

Ah, that explains it. I'm on 3.6.0.

Hello,
May I take this thread as an opportunity to ask you wether this timestamp might be used to implement a "mark as read" feature ?
I mean by "mark as read" an internal support that would tell if a particular node or object has been read by a particular user.
If not are you aware of any plan regarding such functionality ?
Many thanks for your tip

Just in case someone searches up this thread and is looking for the last_visit timestamp on nodes that's not the current user, this code can be used:
$node.object.data_map.user_account.content.last_visit
Regarding the "mark as read"-feature, there is an extension that was created to track hits to each page. But this extension also records what pages each user visits. I guess that might be a starter for a project like yours?
