time spent online

[butty]

hit here is there a hack out there that will tell me how long a person has spent in total on my board, im sure ive seen one somewhere and it was under where the user title and post count is.

ie

user has been on the board a total of 6hrs 20mins or 45days 6 hrs etc etc

hope somebody can help me

I have never seen a hack or addon released with this..

but I was actually going to do this for my site..

where it shows how long a user has been on.. for that amount of time before they log off.. and then it would keep track of a total amount of time they have spent on my site..

kind of curious about a few members of my board... seems they either are really bored and sit on it all day.. or what.. dunno.. will find out :)

[butty]

great stuff, i think a lot of peeps would put this one into use, you can seperate the anoraks from the board addicts!!

hope ya can sort it matey id do it myself but i cant get my head round all the brackets n stuff!!

:)

[mister]

ive got this one guy who has gotta be on at least 20 hours a day

The new feature known as /online.php is already in place to provide
the recording mechanism the time they came on, where they
went, what they viewed, and what they posted.

doesn't online.php just interpret the stuff in admin/sessions.php?

You'd have to do some modifications to sessions.php i would guess .... or have some sort of counter file included in your phpinclude template (sort of like the vbstats hack has)

[BradC]

you can actually do a lot.. if you have the know how with coding.. lol I don't :)

See with the online.php file it tracks what they are doing for the most part and where they are.. not really for how long or anything. I mean I do believe it puts a timestamp on their last activity.. like replying or viewing a page.. but it pretty much ends there.

I am sure you can add a function, and a couple of fields in the user table.. and it can track current online time, and total online time for ya..

This hack does seem quite interesting, if you can't get it to work I'll be sure to take a whack at it...

[MrLister]

you have it already? or seen it somewhere?

[Scott MacVicar]

Yes it would seem quite hard, as it only logs when they came on, you would have to record the time they came on for that session then when they leave add it to their time online. The point is, it would be hard to make it add it, the simpliest way i guess would just to measure the time the session is active.

PPN, then it would be better to start off the hack by something like this in the CP

user1 was online on:
- Time/date for 00:12:32
- Time/Date for 01:04:10
- ....

[WEBDosser]

has anyone got anywhere with this hack?..

[butty]

If you use lastactivity this turns into a easy hack

[LanciaStratos]

Wouldn't this be a great replacement for post counts...?
