The following is what I would try.
If you can get to the admin, make the phorum unavailable
Get a backup :) of everything.
Turn the module off.
Clear/Empty the cache. Verify it has been emptied, or do it manually using the Hosts "panel"

Using phpmyadmin, or another admin tool, run maintenance on the table.
Verify the "Online Users" scripts have not been tampered with.

Re-enable and test.

As a last resort, empty the (Online Users) table (I don't remember what the repercussions of this are, if any.)

So far I know it's not the cache since I create new folder and moved the cache path over to it.

I'll check on database and do a maintenance on it and reinstall module to see if it fixes it.

Thank you for your inputs and help with this

My online user just stop working and this error is displayed

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 81 bytes) in /home/garyk/public_html/include/db/mysql/mysqli.php on line 290

I tried everything to get it working again but no go. It can't be the server because I have more than one phorum installed and online user are working fine on other phorum
Thank you

I just found that the number of guests is incorrect when you come back to the forum after being inactive: it seems to keep track of all guests during your inactivity period, and not the real current number of guests. When you reload the page a second time, it becomes correct (note that it's not a browser cache problem, because the first load is also a complete loading of the page).

Example: You're visiting the forum as guest, together with other two guests. You correctly see the number of guests is 3. Then, some hours later, you come back to the forum, the page is reloaded (because you can notice a server delay while list.php is working) and you still see the number of guests is 3. But then you reload the page a second time, and voila, the number of guests is, for example, 2 (which is the correct current number).

Why is this? Why I always see a change in the number of guests when I reload the page a second time? Can it be corrected somehow and get the correct number the first time?

BTW, my settings are: Track User Usage "Constantly"; Idle time 3 minutes; Cache time 0; Keep records disabled; Display forum readers enabled.

Thanks for your response. I understand what you mean. If I had such great knowledge on php i would have added support to it. When I enable this module i get missing file 1.php under ../mods/onlineuser/db/db2/1.php which i guess is just for creating table. That part is easy but inside this module I don't know what sql statements are used which is specific to mysql and not supported by db2

Re: Module: Online Users

Thomas Seifert — Wed, 11 Feb 2015 13:41:17 -0600

well, can only be done by someone with db2 experience and a running system with it.
As there is no official db2 support in phorum anyway ...

Sorry to dig this up after so many days. It is definitely a awesome module and beleive the only option for people like me but sadly it doesn't support db2 yet. Can someone please add db2 support for it. People who are bound to use DB2 as there backend will find this very useful. Please

Try the "Forum Stats" module. It has an entry for the most recent user in the setup.

Re: Module: Online Users

laurenz — Tue, 11 Sep 2012 05:45:37 -0500

It would be nice if the could be an option to include the names of the latest members registered to the forum.
Between the names of online users and the statistics there could be a section saying something like,
"We welcome our newest members: John Johsen, Simon Smith, Jan Jansen."

How would I go about including that?

Is it possible to have this module NOT display pending registrations?

For example, a spam bot will register with the name "pornvids" and it will appear as a user online for 10 minutes. This is offensive to some of my members.

I know I should get around to employing the use of the spam hurdles module, but I thought that perhaps the above would be a simple enough change.

Hello!

I made a tiny correction in the onlineusers.tpl code on line 8. It displays an unnecessary space between the username and comma in the Online Users display. The extra space is right after the closing link () tag. I then replaced the space after the first {IF OU->ADMIN OR OU->IDLE} statement, since the space should only be shown if a user is an administrator and/or idle (right before the opening parenthesis).

The original code is as follows:

{LOOP MOD_ONLINEUSERS->USERS}{VAR OU MOD_ONLINEUSERS->USERS}{IF NOT FIRST}, {/IF}{OU->NAME} {IF OU->ADMIN OR OU->IDLE}({/IF}{IF OU->ADMIN}{LANG->mod_onlineusers->Administrator}{/IF}{IF OU->ADMIN AND OU->IDLE}, {/IF}{IF OU->IDLE}{OU->IDLE}{/IF}{IF OU->ADMIN OR OU->IDLE}){/IF}{VAR FIRST 0}{/LOOP MOD_ONLINEUSERS->USERS}

My fixed code, with the moved space:

{LOOP MOD_ONLINEUSERS->USERS}{VAR OU MOD_ONLINEUSERS->USERS}{IF NOT FIRST}, {/IF}{OU->NAME}{IF OU->ADMIN OR OU->IDLE} ({/IF}{IF OU->ADMIN}{LANG->mod_onlineusers->Administrator}{/IF}{IF OU->ADMIN AND OU->IDLE}, {/IF}{IF OU->IDLE}{OU->IDLE}{/IF}{IF OU->ADMIN OR OU->IDLE}){/IF}{VAR FIRST 0}{/LOOP MOD_ONLINEUSERS->USERS}

Tiny fix, but I hope it's helpful. :)

Removing it would remove the module from the module list, since the script only looks at the start message of the thread. I packed the 2.5.1 release and updated the thread starter therefore.

Hi Maurice,

can you remove please your files for version 2.4.5?

I have already installed the newer version 2.5.1 from Thomas and also Check Modules for Upgrades (version 5.2.1.06) so I get always the advice that there is an update available (see pictures below).

Thanks

A better way could be to use Phorum's private key ($PHORUM["private_key"]) as an addition to the cache key. That one is a big random string. Possibly this could be added to the cache layers directly, because when using the same source, more caches could be running into this.

Re: Module: Online Users

Skye N. — Wed, 19 May 2010 19:56:50 -0500

I have a shared Phorum installation that uses the same files over several domains, with different database configs for each domain. The online users module doesn't know this so the cache file was getting messed up with data from all the sites, so I changed the key to be unique like this:

In your module hack, you are doing time formatting yourself. That is a bad idea. Think only of the possibility for users and administrators to change the timezone, which will render your code to be incorrect. Additionally, there are functions available for formatting time, so there's no need to do all the hard labor yourself. I think your time format could be generated with the following code.
[code=php]
$idle = phorum_date("%l:%M %p", $user['date_last_active']);
[/code]
(in a general hack for the public, it would be even better to use one of the predefined time formats from the language file, instead of the hard-coded "%l:%M %p")

#1) The data is not available, because it takes additional SQL queries to grab the groups from the database and put them in the user data arrays. You could try if changing phorum_api_user_get($list) to phorum_api_user_get($list, TRUE) will work for you. It should add the group data to the users that you are looping over for formatting the output.

#2) Personally, I would find it rather invasive when my clickpath could be followed through this module. Are you sure that your user base is waiting for this feature? But putting that aside: the data that you want to display is not stored anywhere. The only thing that is stored, is the id of the forum in which the user last clicked. If you want to track all the extra data, then you would have to code all this tracking yourself, e.g. by storing the information in a separate database table. This could become quite heavy on a busy forum, since every action is logged.

Hello!

First, a contribution for once! How to change the Idle time for a user to the time they last clicked/refreshed a page in AM/PM format (rather than how many minutes/seconds they are idle):

Starting at line 168 in onlineusers.php:

// Format the user's idle time.
        $idle = 0;
        if ($PHORUM['user']['user_id'] &&
            $user['user_id'] == $PHORUM['user']['user_id']) {
            // NOOP: Don't show idle time for the active Phorum user.
        }
        elseif ($PHORUM['mod_onlineusers']['show_idle_time']) {
            $idle_secs = ($user['date_last_active'] - 7*60*60)%(24*60*60);
			$ampm = ( ($idle_secs/3600) < 11) ? AM : PM ;
            if ($idle_secs) {
              $idle = sprintf("%d:%02d %s",$idle_secs/7200, floor(($idle_secs%3600)/60), $ampm);
            }
        }

Please do note that the number highlighted in blue (the 7) is changeable to determine the timezone you are in. Remove the number and the * that follows to set the timezone to GMT.

So the result is getting:
Pmac627 (9:34 PM) --> Time of the last page refresh
Rather than:
Pmac627 (34:08) --> Time elapsed since last page refresh

Second, a really easy modification that helps reduce the clutter if you have a lot of visitors at once.
Showing the idle time in the form of a tooltip rather than next to the username.

Starting at line 8 in onlineusers.tpl:

{LOOP MOD_ONLINEUSERS->USERS}{VAR OU MOD_ONLINEUSERS->USERS}{IF NOT FIRST}, {/IF}title="{IF OU->IDLE}Idle since {OU->IDLE}{ELSE}Currently Active{/IF}" >{OU->NAME} {IF OU->ADMIN OR OU->IDLE}({/IF}{IF OU->ADMIN}{LANG->mod_onlineusers->Administrator}{/IF}{IF OU->ADMIN AND OU->IDLE}, {/IF}{IF OU->IDLE}{OU->IDLE}{/IF}{IF OU->ADMIN OR OU->IDLE}){/IF}{VAR FIRST 0}{/LOOP MOD_ONLINEUSERS->USERS}

With that, you wont see the users idle time next to their username. It will appear in a tiny box when you hover your mouse pointer over it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now with those presented, I have 2 questions of my own.

#1) I saw some discussion about in the hacks forum, but I determined that it should work with the onlineusers module, hence the question being here. I would like to figure out how to add color to the usernames in the onlineusers module, depending on their group. I know how to go about that more or less, but I am having difficulty finding the variable I need. Is there a universal variable used for groups, perhaps a number? There must be one, because it is utilized by the user tagging module to enable an administrator to set a tag with certain groups.

#2) This is far more complex and might merit a separate module, though I see it as another possible upgrade/hack to this module. A "Last Click" page as it is commonly known as. Basically, its a page that expands upon what the Onlineusers module already does. It lists, in order of most recent activity, the users currently online as well as the time of the last click (idle time) and what the last page was that they were viewing/posting in. All of the necessary variables are already used in onlineusers except the record of the last page visited by a specific user. Is there a variable for this already in onlineusers.php? I have not found it if it is there. The module keeps track of how many views each forum and thread has received, so I would like to assume that even for a brief moment, the forum/thread being viewed is kept track of, whether it is simply the numerical values given to the page for the database or the physical URL.

I hope some of that made sense... it is late here. If either or both of these questions are not supposed to be in this thread, (despite my believing they are appropriate here), I will gladly move them to wherever they belong as directed.

Thank you for any and all help!

Some of the features you have requested can be easily (and most practically) implemented in the template provided by this module. If you have a custom template, copy the mods/onlineusers/templates/emerald folder to mods/onlineusers/templates/yourtemplate then edit the css.tpl and onlineusers.tpl as needed. For example:
{LOOP MOD_ONLINEUSERS->USERS}{VAR OU MOD_ONLINEUSERS->USERS}{IF NOT FIRST}, {/IF}{OU->NAME} {IF OU->ADMIN OR OU->IDLE}({/IF}{IF OU->ADMIN}{LANG->mod_onlineusers->Administrator}{/IF}{IF OU->ADMIN AND OU->IDLE}, {/IF}{IF OU->IDLE}{OU->IDLE}{/IF}{IF OU->ADMIN OR OU->IDLE}){/IF}{VAR FIRST 0}{/LOOP MOD_ONLINEUSERS->USERS}
in order to remove the (admin) and bold the admin's name could become:
{LOOP MOD_ONLINEUSERS->USERS}{VAR OU MOD_ONLINEUSERS->USERS}{IF NOT FIRST}, {/IF}{IF OU->ADMIN} style="font-weight: bold;"{/IF}>{OU->NAME} {IF OU->IDLE}({/IF}{IF OU->IDLE}{OU->IDLE}{/IF}{IF OU->IDLE}){/IF}{VAR FIRST 0}{/LOOP MOD_ONLINEUSERS->USERS}
or, in order to separate the names with a line break could become:
{LOOP MOD_ONLINEUSERS->USERS}{VAR OU MOD_ONLINEUSERS->USERS}{IF NOT FIRST}
{/IF}{OU->NAME} {IF OU->ADMIN OR OU->IDLE}({/IF}{IF OU->ADMIN}{LANG->mod_onlineusers->Administrator}{/IF}{IF OU->ADMIN AND OU->IDLE}, {/IF}{IF OU->IDLE}{OU->IDLE}{/IF}{IF OU->ADMIN OR OU->IDLE}){/IF}{VAR FIRST 0}{/LOOP MOD_ONLINEUSERS->USERS}

Thank you I will give that a try!

I have a couple feature request for this module and if I had the skill to code I would been more than happy to code it in myself so I hope someone would be willing to pick it up and code some new features to this module.

I would like to see total count amount of both the Online Users and Online Hidden Users next to the Online Users title
Something like this in the title box at the top - Online Users 243 Users (23 Hidden)
Total counts of online and hidden are viewable to everyone.

I would like the administrators to be able to see the hidden usernames in the Online Users box with the ( ) like this (Maurice) but it is still hidden from the public and only viewable to the administrators. The hidden username are still hidden from regular user or public.

I would like to remove the (admin) next to the adminstrator username and make the adminstrator username bold in letter instead. Or make a different color text for the adminstrator.

Thank you

Actually, that is probably based on the General Settings > Cookie/Session Settings > Track User Usage. Chances are you have this set to 15 minutes. Depending on how busy your site is and how powerful your server, you can set this all the way to "Constantly."
