Hi Austin,

I installed your Mod showing the number of people viewing forums on the index at any given time. Seems that it works off and on, and I was wondering if there are any adjustments that can be made to keep a user's session open a little longer while they are browsing as it may bring traffic into the boards if they see many people viewing.

Thanks!

Austin does this also flag guests or just Registered Users? If not, would it be possible to flag guests?

**aUsTiN**

Just registered users for now.

I am having the same problem, sometimes its there sometimes its not.
I changed the number above to 30 and to 300...do I want it lower or higher?

It doesnt appear to be "real-time". When the user enters a forum, shouldnt the active user appear? or do they need to be in the forum for so long before it appears.

EDIT answered my question...they need to be in a TOPIC in that CATAGORY for it to show...

Can it be changed so that it shows active user while they are in a CATAGORY looking at the threads in there???

Its based on how phpBB sends sessions. When they enter the posts or forums, it should set their session page to that forum id. The sessions tracking doesn't recognize categories.

And you want the number higher to last longer, lower to last less amount of time.

Yoeddy

Yeah, I upped mine to match my User's Online which is based on 10 minutes, or 600 seconds. Seems to work better. If this could count for guests too, it would really boost the appearence for site activity.

I'll have to use the sessions table for that, but it can be done yes.

Yoeddy

**aUsTiN**

I'll get it done when i can....

**aUsTiN**

If you redownload it, 1.1.0 has the guests totals added to it as well.

**hexcode**

Looks good aUsTin, i'll remove 1.0.0 and install 1.1.0.

Hi Austin,

Thanks for the update, but unfortunately, it isn't working on my site. Crying or Very sad

I can't understand. First I just applied the upgrade to index.php. Nothing worked. I then removed all of the code from the 3 files, and reapplied the full install of 1.1.0. Still nothing. If I revert back to the 1.0.0 code it works just fine. Was there a SQL query or anything that needed to be applied? The code has been applied per your instruction and nothing happens.

Any help would be appreciated.

I had a problem as well.

After using the upgrade text I went into a forum, then I opened my forum's index in a new window. However, it didn't display anything next to the forum I was in.

Yoeddy

Yeah, that's exactly what I did as well hexcode. I tried logging in various windows with test accounts etc, and nothing would show up on the index.

**hexcode**

Were you logged into your forum when your did the testing? I was doing my testing as a guest (not logged in), nothing would show up though.

Yoeddy

**aUsTiN**

You cant view your self. Sessions reset on your account every time you goto a different page.

I will have another look @ my files & the install & see if i missed something either way.

Yoeddy

Thanks Austin Very Happy

**hexcode**

Yes, thanks AUsTin

I would like to know as well so I can update too.

**hexcode**

Yoeddy, did you ever get the new version working?

**aUsTiN**

I did an upgrade @ phpbb-amod and it worked fine there as well

Yoeddy

If nothing has changed...no, I could not get the new version to work. I'm still using the old version, and it works fine.

**hexcode**

My forum isn't open yet, i'm still working on a skin and adding more mods. So I really don't have a lot of users to test the new version with. I'm still using the older version as well, and I see myself show up when viewing forms. However, I would like to have guests and members display so I will try upgrading again sometime soon.

Yoeddy

Is there anything left to update Austin? Or is the Mod going to be where it currently is at? Just can't understand why we are not getting it to work.

**hexcode**

Hi, do you plan on making any changes to the current version aUsTiN? A few of us would like to upgrade, but aren't sure if it is working right. If you could let us know it be great, as it a useful mod. Thanks

**aUsTiN**

Just keep using the one that works. When i get time i will go over the one i have up for download & compare it to the one used here & at amod...
