Hi All,

Just a quick question about the who's online box. Some of my members are complaining that they can not see themselves or others online even if they refresh the browser or even delete the cookies.

I have the noticed this myself since the update. Can anyone advise me what I need to do to fix this issue for my members. We are running our site on a linux server.

Thanks for any help you can give.

There's a new setting in the admin CP smile

Go to...

Admin CP || Portal settings >> How many Usernames should be displayed in Who's Online?

Thanks driv but that does not make any difference as I don't even show up and I am the admin. I have even set the time to 1 minute and no difference.

Seems to be some sort of issue with my who's online box as it works ok here.

How many names are showing in the box?

Is it a consistent number?

Check the directory and file permissions in the cache folders.

Yeah I was thinking the same - perhaps the directory is not getting written to.

Well, keep in mind that there IS a cache on the WOL island, it won't refresh until the cache refreshes...

The WOL page itself does not have a cache, and will always list everyone who's currently active.

I have checked the file permission twice and they are correct. I still do not show up as on line and other members don't as well.

I am now on a linux server but was on windows before the move of the site.

it's because you are set to invisible in your profile.. now you have also turned off letting users select that as an option, so those who are already invisible can't change it so they ARE visible..

so they'll stay invisible..

what you can do to see who is currently invisible is run this query:
Sql Query:
select u.USER_DISPLAY_NAME from ubbt_USER_PROFILE up, ubbt_USERS u WHERE up.USER_VISIBLE_ONLINE_STATUS <> 'yes'
and u.USER_ID=up.USER_ID


you should notice some peeps (including you prolly) that are in that list.

soooooo, just run this query:
Sql Query:
update ubbt_USER_PROFILE SET USER_VISIBLE_ONLINE_STATUS='yes' WHERE USER_VISIBLE_ONLINE_STATUS <> 'yes'


and that will force everyone to visible and then be included in who's online wink

Sirdude I run the comand and this is what happened:

Script: /home/content/o/u/t/outdoorking/html/forum/admin/dodbcommand.php
Line#: 101
SQL Error: Unknown column 'up.USER_VISIBLE_ONLINE_STATUS' in 'where clause'
SQL Error #: 1054
Query: update ubbt_USER_PROFILE SET USER_VISIBLE_ONLINE_STATUS='yes' WHERE up.USER_VISIBLE_ONLINE_STATUS <> 'yes'
