Where can I change the timeout for the online-timer? (10 minutes)

Do you mean the time that the Who's online screen updates?

There are two areas you can look:
ubbt.inc.php

Code

<br />   // -----------------------------------------------<br />   // Expire any outdated entries in the Online table<br />      $Outdated = $html -> get_date();<br />      $Outdated = $Outdated - 600;<br />      $query = "<br />       DELETE FROM {$config['tbprefix']}Online<br />       WHERE O_Last < $Outdated<br />      ";<br />

The 600 is the number of seconds

and also in the online.php

Code

<br />// -------------------------<br />// Delete the inactive users<br />   $html = new html;<br />   $Outdated = $html -> get_date() - 600;<br />   $query = "<br />      DELETE FROM {$config['tbprefix']}Online<br />      WHERE       O_Last < $Outdated<br />   ";<br />   $dbh -> do_query($query);<br />

The above will change the time that the user's navigation on your forum changes the contents of the w3t_Online table. If you wish the Who's Online screen to refresh every say 20 minutes then all you have to do is go to the online.php and find this line:

Code

<br />// ------------------<br />// Send a html header<br />   $html -> send_header($ubbt_lang['ONLINE_HEAD'],$Cat,"<meta http-equiv=\"Refresh\" content=\"60;url={$config['phpurl']}/online.php?Cat=$Cat\" />",$user);<br />

and change the Refresh" content="60; to the number of seconds you want that page to refresh (for 20 minutes this will be 1200)

If you are using IIP you can change the number of seconds in onlinepal.php as well.

Thank you guys!!!

Will this work for 6.4.1? 60 minutes would be great!

Will this have any affect on server load and such?

What adjusting the online time?

You don't need this in 6.4 and higher.

You can do it from the config file.

Doh!

Offcourse!

Thanks!

I'd like to know the answer to this question? I changed the 600 to 300. I'm having a terrible time with my AOL users and their unique IP's and I need those "old" connections to close as soon as possible. Will this help?
