UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 6 Bug Reports Whose online not working

Hello, I'm using php5.15 version of wwwthreads and the whose online page doesn't seem to work everything else is fine.
What could I have done to mess it up?
If I look at the w3t_Online table I can see users there.
Also if I check the w3t_Users table I can see that these users have U_visible set to 'yes'
Got any ideas.

OK I found what the bug seems to be.
basically I had set my time offset to be '2' in the config-inc file
And a positive value there seems to make the whose online thing fall over, or atleast not show you anyone online other than yourself. A negative value I guess would work for 10mins plus however many hours negative offset. So ony a zero offset really works.

Why cos sometime wwthreads uses just the time() function, ie like when updating your w3t_Online table and other times like when clearing the w3t_Online table which it does before it shows it, it will use the get_date() function which is time+offset.

So the if you don't have a zero offset then make this change to the online.php file:

// $Outdated = $html -> get_date(); //previous code
// $Outdated = $Outdated - 600; //previous code
$Outdated = time() - 600; // added by Dan5

Find the two lines I have commeted out, and comment them out and then add my line.

Let me know if this causes any side effects but I don't see why it should be a problem it seems ok on my BB.

Had a board where we were having the opposite problem, ie people from up to an hour and 10 minutes ago were still showing up (time offset was set to -1 btw). Your fix seems to work perfectly, thanks!

Side note: it seems to use the server time to show people's online time, so everyone's 1 hour in the future. I can fix this manually no problem, but still something to look into.

Well if that is the case then I suppose the code I change above could be left as it was and the code in main_config should be used to use the get_date function.
The reason I didn't do that in the first place was that get_date function isn't defined untill after this section, but I suppose it could be bought forward. Or have the times adjusted before they get displayed.

Scream, is this going to be fixed in the next release?
