Mine is a wierd problem... every once in a while the online.cgi resets itself...

I was watching it today, and all of a sudden this date comes up... December 31 1969... no guests or ip's beside it, and then bam... the max number restarts.... And I used this hack exclusivly on 5.45a

any ideas why this is happening?

Quick question:

Where would I put the code to show a guest "Registering for the Forum" in Ultimate.cgi?

Thanks in advance!

Update alert: Both the install instructions and the online.cgi script have been updated. To the instructions I added a small section on how to get the system to log WHICH topic people are reading. All it requires is that your thread files are parsing SSI calls (it's left up to you to see that they are). One line of code (the SSI call) gets added to "ubb_library2.pl".

Then just download the new version of "online.cgi" and you are in business. I've got it working on my site now!

Dave Downin - Thank you so much for adding this. Where would I go about making my server setup for SSI? My server is right next to me so I can do it all my self, running win2k IIS 5.0. I have a feeling it is already going, but could you point me somewhere. As for now, I am going to try it anyway.

joor - I can't really tell you how to set your server up... I'm only familiar with Apache under UNIX.

There is a problem with this new addition though... it doesn't work quite right. No matter what it logs you as a guest when you are reading a topic. I need to figure a way around this. Apparently when calling the script by SSI the script doesn't have access to the cookies. If anyone else knows a way around this I'd love to hear it.

Dave,

Would you mind posting the links to the Instructions again? I have already read through this entire board once to get it working to begin with (and it rocks by the way!), and it would be appreciated if you could ease our pain and not make us re-read all these posts for the URL. Thx bunches

Works great, but now either the number of users online nor their usernames appear on the main-screen. i installed another 'whos online'-hack before, maybe there are still any errors in the script? online.cgi works fine! great hack!
thanks,
chris

In this particular version, on the front page (Ultimate.cgi), the number of users should appear, but the names do not. The names appear on the online.cgi file.

An example of this is here and on my site.

I'm sorry, the number of users don't appear on the frontpage. maybe someone would like to have a short look and explain me the error?

Here's my script in ultimate.cgi:
(http://elektrophunk.com/userbin/Ultimate.Cgi)


sub ForumTableTop1 {

if ($BypassCookie eq "true") {
$LastLoginTime = "";
}

if ($category ne "") {
$CategoryLine = qq(Alle Kategorien );
$CategoryName = &GetCatName($category);
$ForumHeader = "Kategorie: $CategoryName";
$LastLoginTime = $MemberLine;
} else {
$ForumHeader = "Forum";
$CategoryLine = $MemberLine;
}

$onlinelink = qq(
OnLineCheck ($totalcount)

$OnlineUserMsg






would be great if someone could help me finishing this GREAT hack ..
chris

Works Perfectly for 5.45c! I was wondering, is there a way to make it so it tells you all the members that are on the board? I saw this board, and it showed the # of members and who they were aswell as guests...

Help Please...

Currently, it appears to be working, but I am unable to access online.cgi to edit my prefs, it says 500 port error when I try to.

Was I meant to have an online.cgi file before installing? Because when I download the file all it says inside is:

Hoping someone can help with this mess.
I installed the Who's Online Hack. The hack worked fine, but the threads would not update.
SO I redid it and sent it back up. ASCII and CHMOD, now the threads update but the post Rpely and New Topic are coming up blank.
I tried to upload the original copies, without the hack, and I am still having the same problem. Can someone please help with this??
www.truckinlife.com/cgi-bin/ubb/Utimate.cgi
My guess is the problem is in postings.cgi.
Thanks! Version 5.45c

if you got a blank page, you probably forgot to add the required =

require "ubb_library.pl"

btw, great hack!

Ok, I know you will hate me, but over the last week I tried to install this hack on a ubb 5.47 with no luck, obviously. And now I need the help of those perl/ubb guru's in here to walk me trough this.

I had problems with this hack also on 5.47. It's fine now. If you're using CuteFTP to upload your files, it automatically uploads *.cfg files in BINARY, to make sure you change it to ASCII. That may be your problem.

Hello.

This script works excellent on my 5.47a but with a problem.
Non-english characters in names don't work. It shows html encode code (like %20) instead of the letter. Is there a workaround for this?

Dave, are you out there?

I installed this on a clean copy of 5.47 and am getting two problems.

1) It whacked about 1000 members out of my membertotal.cgi.
2) The Record on online.cgi does not stay fixed. It will fluctuate up and down and has even been below the Current number.

Any thoughts? The board is VWVortex and I would really appreciate the assistance...

Question:

I've been using the old version that showed Guests as IP numbers.

I'd like to run the new one that shows the Guests as "Guest #X" and still run the old one offline so moderators and admins can keep tabs on disruptors.

Possible?

If so, how do I do it?

Thanks in advance!

Okay, I was able to fix the membertotal issue and it is now operating correctly again.

Unfortunately, the problem with the Record count is not sticking and still plaguing me. Could it be a cookie issue? A file permissions error?

Aaargh! [Linked Image]

NBAustin, the latest version shows "Guest #" or UserName, and has a control panel feature to select who can see IP/hostname info: None, Admin, Admin & Mod, or All.

gevuvor, I think it's a bug, I have same problem, very unpredictable.

Not sure.

If you have the CP controls try reseting the refresh rate, if done in code make sure your refresh_time variable is set to something like 60.
