[Done 1.5.x] Who's Online w/ Hidden Users w/ Flags

[Gobalopper]

This mod allows you to see what people are doing on the fourm and restrict who can view it.
The Hidden Users addon allows people to hide their online status to everyone but the admin.
The Flags mod adds the country flag of each user based on their IP address.

Nice! I have not had a chance to try this yet but your demo is awsome. Good Job!

Looks good!  

[junomat]

are you going to make a package for this?

thanks,

Probably not until the final release.

Superb looking work! I have been looking for this for a very, very long time. I am very happy to see that someone finally decided to code this extension!

And btw, Dune ROCKS. I cannot wait to join/view your forums when I get home

Hmm. I seem to be having a bit of trouble getting the mod working well. Much to my dismay, the forums only seem to report that everyone is viewing the main index no matter how many people are online. I'm baffled! Can you offer any assistance? If you need to see my board I'll provide a link.

And as I've just noticed, the links aren't proper either. They all point back to the action=who link. :\

[Gobalopper]

Sure post the site here or IM me. It could be I just missed something in the instructions.

I have the same problem - for some reason it was only recording the first 2 numbers of people's IPs too, so the database instructions you gave weren't correct.

I'll wait till you fix it

Ok check out the Who.php I am using at the moment on my board. This adds a fourth column that only admins can see. It shows the action it is parsing to display the info for that user. So once you are using it let me know what that column says. That should help find the error.

[eberon]

Okay, once again, same problem, and action info field is blank.

Huzzah, fixed. Thanks to the master for his awesome php skills  

[Gobalopper]

Yep for some reason it isn't writing back to the database. I have a test board setup now that is a fresh install so I'm going to see if I can find out why thats happening.

Turns out IIS servers don't like REQUEST_URI so I've modified it slightly. Just use this new WriteLog() function from Subs.php.

Code Select Expand

function WriteLog (){
  global $REMOTE_ADDR,$PHP_SELF,$HTTP_SERVER_VARS,$username,$db_prefix;
  $logTime = time();
  $identity = $username;
  if($username == 'Guest') { $identity = $REMOTE_ADDR; }
  $url = parse_url($PHP_SELF."?".$HTTP_SERVER_VARS["QUERY_STRING"]);
  $request = mysql_query ("DELETE FROM {$db_prefix}log_online WHERE (logTime < ".($logTime - 900)." || identity='$identity')");
  $request = mysql_query ("INSERT INTO {$db_prefix}log_online (identity,logTime,url,ip) VALUES ('$identity',$logTime,'$url[query]','$REMOTE_ADDR')");
}

Thanks eberon for helping find the fix, you can see it a couple posts above this. The zip file has also been updated with the fix.

No guarantees this will work, but for people using this mod who want to insert an autorefresh, add this to your template somewhere within the HEAD tags.

<?
global $action;
if ($action == "who") {
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"(replace with number of seconds to update);url=$scripturl?action=who\">";
}
?>
