Well I definitely wasn't complaining and I realize patching is not the same as upgrading.

Along with updating your XML I recommend changing your description from 3.6x to something along the lines of 3.6.6+.

Due to your location I realize English might not be your native language but you come off very crass & condescending, with your response to my post and others I have read. But most likely you don't care which hopefully will reflect on future installs of your product or the lack thereof.

Have a nice day!

Oops, I didn't realise it, but I did notice that I had 3.5 and 3.6 in the list of features for this mod - I must have meant that for GLA, and I've not changed it. Thanks for pointing that out.

No, English is my native language. However, there was nothing in my messages to you which was attempting to be crass and condescending. I realise that you made an honest mistake with the version number (assisted by my mistake in the description), and you did take the time to report more details and do a bit of homework. I'm writing a lot of mails supporting these mods (both public and private), so I don't always have time to pepper my posts with emoticons, especially at 3am in the morning, which is when I was writing to you. I think if you re-read my posts in that context, you may not get the same impression.

However, I do freely admit to writing snotty messages to people who just don't bother to read a single thing written in my instructions, etc. You'll find plenty of examples in every mod thread of people who are just wasting the mod author's time. So, no, I don't apologise about comments to those people!

Bear in mind that coders give their time for free to build these things. I don't even use this mod on my own board, I wrote it purely as an example to show one application for GLA. I also mark my mods as supported (and actually support them), but I do understand why many others coders mark their mods as unsupported, eventually the stupid questions from people who can't read get to them. At least one coder has told me that once he started charging for mods, it reduced the number of stupid questions he got to almost zero. Once people pay for something, they actually take the time to read instructions.

But like I said, sorry if this has been a misunderstanding in your case.

That's why it's at the bottom :) I have seen sites do things like that, and I think it's kinda neat. If you code it, i'll be happy to install it ;)

Installed yesterday, no problems, works great!

ty so much for ur cool professiona hack!

works like a charm!*installed* and waiting for new cool AME add-on

ciao

[cough] I think you mean cool new GLA add-ons rather than AME. But you never know... ;)

I've installed GLA and this program and everything is working fine except the flag pictures don't come up. I have them all installed under /images/misc/flags/ Is that where they're supposed to be??

Did you follow the instructions exactly?
Did you edit the options and save?

You've just posted exactly the same thing on the GLA thread (the correct place for that issue), and I've answered you on that thread.

Yes that's the correct location. Two possibilities - file permissions error. Is the flags directory accessible from the outside world? Try manually typing in the full URL to one of the flags. The other possibilities is the style variable that points to the misc directory is set somewhere else. If you are using multiple styles and have multiple "misc" directories, then you can put the flags directory in there (this allows you to show different sets of flags according to different styles).

@Ahsin1 - this is now the third time you've pasted exactly the same post. If you continue to do this, I will ignore you. I've already given you a solution (i.e. disable product and then follow the instructions) on the GLA thread, which is the correct thread.

This thread is for discussion of the who's online hack.

Thanks for the advice, they were in the wrong misc directory - I have a custom skin and when I moved the flags directory into the misc file for that skin it works great!! Thank you very much for your prompt response:up:

I might put a note in the instructions for people with multiple styles to check that.

Very nice add on! I just installed it and it works great, except that there are one of two that do not show including mine! I am using comcast isp in florida, not sure why it does not show. I have it set to show flag and country. Right now there are 20 online and all show except mine and one other. I am the super admin for my board, not sure if that has something to do with it. Any ideas?

That's an issue concerning GLA itself, rather than this mod. But if you look in the instructions for GLA you'll find the link to the site that provides the database. It's just bad luck that your ISP isn't in it.

I put $session[host] in the first line of the footer and it did show up. I put $session[country] and nothing showed up.

I checked the session table again, and there is a country being shown for each session listed.

I'm at a loss..

It seems all the data is there, I just can't get it to display.

What if you do add this to a template?

Look at www.318ti.org/forum/
Do you see the US flag in the lower right of the header banner?

All I can think of is that your session isn't matching. Post your current IP or PM it to me and I'll look it up to see if it is matching. I presume also you are running on 3.6.7.

I did add that to mine and it didn't show up and I don't see it on yours either...:confused:

OK. I figured if it showed on my site the problem was with your installation.
The fact that it is not showing up then has more to do with your ip address as you both figured.
I was just trying to rule out the installation.

I've got a similar problem here. It doesn't show flag pictures but only country names, even if I have selected the "Display Country Flag" option.
I did and I can see them.I use only custom style. No others are installed.

Thanks :)

If you have a custom style then your stylevar might be pointed to a different directory than images/misc - the previous person had the same problem.

Styles and Templates -> (for the right style) Style Vars -> Scroll down to Miscellaneous Images Folder.

On the default installation this is set to "images/misc", which is where you put your flags. If your style has a different location for this directory, then you must move your flags there instead.

"Miscellaneous Images Folder" is images/misc for the Default Style that I use.

Then the most likely possibility is that the automatic template edits were not able to work due to customisations you've made on WHOSONLINE or whosonlinebit templates (very likely if you have a heavily customised style).

However, if your country names are showing up, then it's obviously managed to make these changes.

The only thing you can do now to examine the source of the page (i.e. check the HTML output) for the who's online display. Each cell should contain something like this:
You should see the img tag in there, along with the relative path (relative to your forum directory) for the image. Is the problem that the img tag is missing from this cell, or that the path to the image is somehow wrong? If this doesn't resolve the problem, then please paste in just the cell (as I have done) for your page.

This is what I've got

Ok, then based on what you've written, I assembled a URL which *should* display your image directly -

http://www.malinoiscanary.gr/forum/i...c/flags/gr.png

However, it doesn't - this URL just brings up some more of your forum, not the image itself. You said when you put the URL in directly it worked? Which URL did you put in to make it work?

This is awesome - thanks! Worked like a charm. :) Only tip is that if you are using a template other than the default VB skin, you have to upload the flags to the template's image directory.

Ok this is what happened...

The size of all the png files after bz.png in \forum\images\misc\flags dir was 0 bytes for some reason. So, I reupload the \images\misc\flags dir and the prob solved.
I was checking the first 5-6 files (ad.png, ae.png...) and that is why it was working for me.

Any way, thanks for the support :up:

Another great one! Thanks!

Hi.

I really like this mod and installed it. It worked for 2 hours after installation and then suddenly the complete Country category doesnt show up anymore.

The previous installation went without a problem.

Just to be sure, I reinstalled followed all the steps in the correct order but still nothing. My Whois online doesnt show anything other then the normal stuff.

Really strange.

I am using custom style and this mod from Dream for the whois online: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123158

But this shouldnt really be a problem right? it worked before.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks.

Sounds very strange. I would go through the various steps that people have used for troubleshooting for both this mod and GLA. Remember that this mod relies on GLA - if something isn't working there, then this mod won't work either. Have a scan through both this thread and the GLA thread and you should be able to narrow down where the problem lies. But as a first step I would double check your settings in the admincp, and click save, even if the settings appear to be the way you want them (there is a bug in vbulletin which can sometimes show you different settings than there really are)

Hi mfyvie.

Thanks for the heads up. I have looked through all the threads but nothing.

I have tried everything I can think of. It just doesnt work. As if I did not install anything. :(

I guess there is no other way other then to uninstall altough I hate to give up. :mad:

Fabian

Fabian,

If you've followed all the steps in this and the other thread then you'd have a pretty good idea about WHICH part isn't working. For example - is GLA functioning correctly? Were you able to get any information showing after a manual template edit, is the session table populated?

You say you've tried everything that you can think of - "but it just doesn't work". The question is, which parts worked, and which parts didn't - or are you saying that GLA has completely failed and NONE of it is working? I'd find that a bit difficult to understand.

How can I check that the GLA worked? That might be the problem.

I thought you'd said you'd gone through both threads? If you visit the GLA thread, you'll find information about troubleshooting GLA (but you already said you did this?) Anyway, if you have a specific question about GLA troubleshooting, best to pick it up on the GLA thread rather than this one.

Okay thanks mfyvie.

Great mod anyway. :)

Great hack, thanks for sharing! :)

For people who have 3.6.x version (3.6.0 to 3.6.6) which is not compatible with this pluggin and who don't mind hacking .php code here is how you can install this hack:

Edit online.php, find:

REPLACE IT AS:


Upload online.php hack to server and then import the ATTACHED product.

I've tested with vb 3.6.2 and it is working fine if installed as described here. Yet I don't have time to give support for this, sorry about it if it does not work for you. If you have 3.6.7 or above, please dont apply my instructions, use original hack instead!

Hey

First of all I must say great support here, keep up the good work mfyvie - we really appreciate your efforts! And a great plug-in too, very informative (at least for me).

However, I'm having a little problem...I've installed the plug in and GLA and verified that ip2country table exists in my database, and my session table has "country" and I believe "country_is1" and "country_is2" ( I may be mistaken a bit about the country_is1 and is2, it's something like that you probably know).

However there is no table in who's online for "Country/flag". Do you know what the issue could be? Here are screenshots:

http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/6687/img1hn9.gif
http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/6413/img1pz7.gif

To clarify, there has been user activity after the plug-in was installed.

Interestingly enough, when I enable "Resolve IP Address" option then I do see a new table created which resolves their IP.

Thanks !
