Can i keep attachment views out of who's online?

[Sean335]

I don't really care about how much bandwidth the site uses up, but i do care about the stats on the board. When people link attached images on other sites, the visitors skyrocket and show hundreds of people all viewing one attachment. Is there a way i can stop attachment views from showing up in who's online, but still allow off-site linking?

hmm, open online.php find if (!$thread[title][$post[$userinfo[postid]]] || !$forum[canview][$thread[forumid][$post[$userinfo[postid]]]] || (!$forum[canviewothers][$thread[forumid][$post[$userinfo[postid]]]] && $thread[postuserid][$post[$userinfo[postid]]] != $bbuserinfo[userid])) {
$userinfo[where] = "Viewing Attachment";
} else {
$userinfo[where] = "Viewing Attachment in Thread <a href='showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$userinfo[postid]'>".$thread[title][$post[$userinfo[postid]]]."</a>";
}
and replace it with $userinfo[where]="";

that means it won't show viewing announcements, but the guest remain listed on who's online, just no location

That just took out the text of where they were, but they still showed up as a user. I found something that seemingly works well though.

I replacedelse { // Guest
$guests[$count][location] = $user[location];
$guests[$count][invisible] = 0;
$guests[$count][username] = "Guest";
if ($WOLresolve && $usergroupdef['canwhosonlineip']) {
$guests[$count][ipaddress] = @gethostbyaddr($user[host]);
} else {
$guests[$count][ipaddress] = $user[host];
}
$guests[$count][lastactivity] = $user[lastactivity];
$count++;
} withelse { // Guest
if(!strstr($user[location],'attachment.php'))
{

$guests[$count][location] = $user[location];
$guests[$count][invisible] = 0;
$guests[$count][username] = "Guest";
if ($WOLresolve && $usergroupdef['canwhosonlineip']) {
$guests[$count][ipaddress] = @gethostbyaddr($user[host]);
} else {
$guests[$count][ipaddress] = $user[host];
}
$guests[$count][lastactivity] = $user[lastactivity];
$count++;
}
}

and in index.php i replaced $loggedins=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS sessions FROM session WHERE userid=0 AND lastactivity>$datecut"); with $loggedins=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS sessions FROM session WHERE userid=0 AND lastactivity>$datecut AND location NOT LIKE '%attachment.php%'");
anything i may have missed or messed up?
