Basically I don't want "and 0 Spiders online".

How do I get rid of that, and include the number of "Spiders" in the number that is shown for guests. (ie. just as it is now in 7.2.2)

[So for example if there were 5 guests and 20 spiders online, I would have that display as "25 guests online"]

Thanks

Just a thought (don't know if this would work) but if you remove (or shorten) the list of user agents - perhaps the spiders will show up as guests.

Of course that won't remove the '0 spiders' notice - but it will make it look like you've got more 'real' visitors to your site smile

You can remove the Spiders part entirely if you comment-out this section of \templates\default\island_whos_online.tpl:
Php Code:

{$spiders} 
{if $spiders == 1}
<?php echo $ubbt_lang['ONLINE_SPIDER']?>
{else}
<?php echo $ubbt_lang['ONLINE_SPIDERS']?>
{/if}

to:
Html:
<!--//
{$spiders} 
{if $spiders == 1}
<?php //echo $ubbt_lang['ONLINE_SPIDER']?>
{else}
<?php //echo $ubbt_lang['ONLINE_SPIDERS']?>
{/if}
//-->

...but as for adding those totals into Guests, I'd have to look into it more deeply and don't have time for that tonight...

OK good start thank you.

If anyone could let me know how to "add" the guests and spiders that would be fantastic.

Thanks

If you have any familiarity with coding, you could compare the 7.2.2 way of doing things vs the 7.3 way, and hack it up from there. I'm no PHP expert, but at 1AM I don't feel it's the time to try and become one... lol.

But really, I dislike having the Spiders' count included into Guests, because I'd rather have an accurate count of *users* vs inflated access totals. But that's just me. If what I posted works, I think that could be enough. Only the site owner cares about Spiders, not the members. And the Spider totals should still come up on the full Who's Online page anyway.

That said, inflating numbers can help sometimes if you're trying to sell ad space or something... wink

Thanks. It really isn't that. I am fine with the spiders being on the main Who's Online page. I just don't see the need and don't want them to be on every single page of my site. It was fine how it was in 7.2.2 with the spiders being included in the Guests number.

I am far from being expert in php! Hoping to hear from some....

You also asked about the sort order....

in cache_builders/online_now.php

change

Php Code:
// Now get's get info about the user's we have
	$query = "
		SELECT	t1.USER_ID, t1.USER_DISPLAY_NAME, t1.USER_MEMBERSHIP_LEVEL, t2.USER_NAME_COLOR, t2.USER_VISIBLE_ONLINE_STATUS
		FROM	{$config['TABLE_PREFIX']}USERS as t1
		LEFT JOIN	{$config['TABLE_PREFIX']}USER_PROFILE as t2
		ON t1.USER_ID = t2.USER_ID
		WHERE	t1.USER_ID in ( ? ) AND t1.USER_ID <> 1
		order by t1.USER_DISPLAY_NAME asc
	";

Cool... what, that shows the users in the Who's Online list by activity rather than alphabetically?

(I don't have enough users on my test to find out!)

Thank you

Bear in mind the portal box is not instant - 10 minutes cache or above is good - however it will no longer sort in alphabetical order.

So basically is that the same as what is going on in 7.2?

Good stuff.

Dead simple when you know hey? wink

I changed the code you have there Ian - thanks - but the listing is really strange. It seems to be almost showing the names at random. What are the criteria used for that if you could tell me?

Thank you

Hi Ian I have been trying to get this to work this morning with a clear head, but just can't. It just doesn't seem to be doing it right and the numbers appear what seems almost totally random. (Certainly not by activity). I&ve put it back to abc for now..

Do I need to change something else, or, .... any ideas? smile

Thank you

Willing - I never said it was by activity - I just said it was similar wink and takes away the alphabetical order.

No one (apart from you) would ever know which order you want the box in anyway.

If you look at the code you will easily see which order it is in with the revised code wink

Well I simply want it in by activity, as per 7.2. I think that is fairly easy to understand!

I and others are only trying to help you.

Being rude is not the way forward.

We only do our best and do not get paid for our time here.

Sorry Ian - I was certainly not meaning to be rude! smile

In the above thread you said that no-one apart from me would ever know which order I wanted it. But I'm pretty sure that I said I wanted it as per 7.2

Anyway, if it came across that way I apologise, I more often than not post thanks and pleases I think and have countless times said how much I appreciate the help.

Thank you.

I reckon the smiley does quite a lot for keeping the peace in 'emails' and posts wink but for all the good it does... the exclamation mark "!" can do quite a lot to undo it.

They should be used sparingly wink smile
