Thank you LK, thats great!!!

But that hack shows not, which posting a user ist editing, reading and so on...

Thanks

d-t, it does... or atleast it should.

Hi LK,

something is wrong at public_pntf_admin.pl

For example:

Before this code there is some other code...

$vars_wordlets_pntf{pntf_admin_ipaddress}

Can you please check it?

Thanks d-talk

Nice stuff LK.

d-talk, make sure you're not trying to modify the parts this hack adds

there is somewhere just this code.

I currently have my pntf_admin tweaked to let moderators in. So if I load this mod, I'll still need to let mods see the same thing admins do. And it looks like I could handle that by tweaking all the steps that have the condition

Quote

quote:

($user_profile[8] eq 'Administrator' && $user_profile[4] =~ /Admin/)

to something like...

quote:
[qb] ($user_profile[4] =~ /Admin/ && $user_profile[8] eq 'Administrator' || $user_profile[8] eq 'Moderator' ) [/qb]

does that look right? (are the && and || in the right order?) or is there an easier way to tweak this condition?

Try to put an extra pair of brackets around the first part (open it after "(", close it before "||")

Code

 (($user_profile[4] =~ /Admin/ && $user_profile[8] eq 'Administrator') &#0124;&#0124; $user_profile[8] eq 'Moderator' )

I’m running a totally unhacked 6.7.1.

My host asked me to turn off the stock “Recent Visitors” feature, as it was straining the shared server I’m on.

Would this hack put any less strain on the server? (Not sure if this is even the right hack to accomplish what I want. I just want to show “Who’s Online”. Is that still available?)

I really want this feature back, but don't want to argue with my host. Thanks for any advice.

Recent visitors IS whos online. This just add's to the Recent Visitors feature.

Thanks. Here's really what I'm getting at:

Would the "Who's Online" hack put any less strain on a server than the UBB stock "Recent Visitors"?

Sorry. Just noticed the New Users forum. You can delete these posts if you want, and I’ll re-post there.

From my understanding, Who's Online put more strain on the server, which is why they went with Recent Visitors.

I'd reccomend disabling Recent Visitors as your host requested, and wait for the new UBB software to come out. It should be a lot less server intensive in general.

Ian, thanks. That is my plan. I’m psyched for the new product!

However, I really hate losing this functionality. I’m going to try to work something out with my host until then.

If your host is complaining about load, then turning off Recent Visitors is indeed something we'd normally advise.

has anyone tested this on 6.6?

won't work, not tested, but it won't
