UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? Who's Online - Where am I?

How does the Who's Online know where I am online.

Where does the variable get set?

It goes by the name of the script

So if you are viewing ubbthreads.php then it compares the online.php langugae file for an entry for 'ubbthreads' and thus you are "viewing a list of posts".

It is written in the w3t_Last table in your database and time stamped. It is continually updated and after your gone cleared from the w3t_Last table in the time period specified in 6.4 under your config settings or in prior versions in the ubbt_inc.php file usually set to 600 meaning every 10 minutes.

Actually the w3t_last table has to do with the timestamp of your last visit to each forum, and new post tracking.

The online information is in the w3t_Online table.

Duh time for a beer Josh is right.

Duh time for a beer Josh is right. Forgot there were multiple tables for that.

But I dont see where w3t_Online table gets set with the script name.

Problem is I created another index.php in another directory and so when someone is in that page is says they are at the entrance.

Because the scripts can not have the same name. There is some script modifications that can be done to write the different index files to special names so you can add language strings appropriate to that index.

Yes, it gets updated in ubbt.inc.php.

You can't really have more than one script with the same name.
What I would do.....

That "other" index.php file..... rename it to something like index2.php

Then create an index.php file in that directory which looks like this:

<?
header("Location:http://www.yourdomain.com/whatever/index2.php");
?>



Then the old index.php will redirect nicely to index2 which is unique enough for who's online purposes and fairly transparent to the user.

I posted a mod here

https://www.ubbdev.com/forum/showflat...5/o/all/fpart/1

that I have been using on my site for quite some time since I use Photopost Threads and Reviewpost. You do not have to go through all the renaming stuff as Josh meantioned above.

Chuck.. You Rock! Works like a charm

Thanks
