Cool, good job! Going straight into my board. By looking at the code, though, I think it also shows online state for invisible users, which don't want to appear online... you might try (untested) if($r->{$uniq}->{login}->[1] == 1) {before the last part of online.cgi.

It looks like it might be the 2nd(3rd technically ) placement in the login array $r->{$uniq}->{logins}->{$uniq} = [$user_number, $nologin, $hidden, $daysprune];as the hidden variable? At least i'm pretty sure it is. Updated online.cgi.

Just installed... and it works  I think it'd be cool though that if the user is online it'd say "Online" or something like that when you hover the image, and if they're offline it'd say "Offline/Invisible". I'm not sure if it's possible in JS, but I think just instead of "src" you should put "alt".

I am working in mozilla 1.6, and the .alt did work, but it didn't mouseover anything. .title does tho. jic, i left both alt and title in, since they both don't have any errors. Figuring 2 is better than 1, maybe there's a browser who will only accept alt, i dunno.

in Mozilla, ALT is when the image isn't available and title is when it is... In IE ALT is when the image is available and near the [x] when it isn't.

OK, so I get the "Offline" image, but never the online.
Where should I start looking?

user_online.gif and user_offline.gif are located in the noncgi directory of the zip and should be uploaded into the respective directory on your webserver.

That isn't the issue, the image shows up for offline, but I'm having a functionality issue in that it doesn't ever change to "online"...
I'm just not sure what file/part of code toggles that feature.

For one, you do need recent visitors enabled. Also check to make sure you've uploaded online.cgi in ascii format and with 755 permissions.
If that doesn't work, can i get a link to your board?

These files are on my local disk, so there is no upload and chmod issue to deal with.

Do I need to modify online.cgi? I placed it in the cgi-bin folder, along with all the other cgi's.

Found a couple of status gifs for this if anyone else would like to use them. Just did a random search on google for gifs of the same name. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.reactek.com:911/images/online.gif) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.reactek.com:911/images/offline.gif)

Could there be something wrong with Vars_Config.cgi?
I even tried pointing to it directly (URL) within online.cgi, and it still didn't work although I can access the file via IE.

did you have to change the location of vars_config.cgi in your ultimatebb.cgi and cp.cgi? Also you can't do url path to your config file, it's gotta be the full path. e.g. /usr/bin/local/path/file/ubbcgi/vars_config.cgi. Originally posted by Gizzy:

I haven't changed the location of vars_config.cgi since the install. It is still in cgi-bin, the same folder that online.cgi is in.
I have returned the file online.cgi to it's original state, having altered it playing with paths.

Ok, open up your ultimatebb.cgi, about line 122 it will have something like eval {
do "vars_config.cgi";
};This is the exact same way in the upload file on line 72. They should be exactly the same, since their in the same directory.

eval {
do "vars_config.cgi";
};
Is how it looks in both now.
Same problem :tired and confused:
Software error:

ubb_upload.cgi? I assume you mean online.cgi? This is what I get making that change to online.cgi because I don't have a ubb_upload.cgi
Software error:
