hey paul, here's a question - any chance of ever doing a 'most ever arcade players' to go along with this:

Any reason why the most online seems to stick at 999?

We had over 1,000 online today, but it didn't update the stats...

I can't see any reason for it to stop at 999, there is nothing to limit it in the code.

I get the same problem where it doesn't register over 999.

MGSteve - as you run your own modified version, you may have to manually update it, PM me for details.

That code looks very familiar :)

I'll look at adding it to this when I next have time to update it. :D

Is the at phrase translateable?

I am having a hard time finding it in VB cp

Paul M

01-18-2006 06:04 PM

Yes, it's the phrase called "at_2".

What table/field is the most located... I migrated to a new server from 3.0 and that info I didnt end up moving over.. I still have the old board up but out of productuion, so I can see what date had the most visitors and how many.. But can I change it on the new one to reflect that old 'record'

Paul M

03-09-2006 03:59 AM

Not really - at least not without editing the database, not an easy thing to do.

No big deal.. Our busy times start again in the summer and sometime this year we will break all those records anyway as this is our 3rd year.. Thanks for responding

hi paul

i have notice a problem with this product, mybe i am not understanding correctly,
but could you explane me how it is possible that the total members that have visited the forum today are 83
and
the most members online in one day was 84, today?

i have tested several times the product in both the to ways (Set to 'yes' for a rolling 24 hour display, leave as 'no' to reset the count at each members midnight.), but the result is the same.

Actually, this has been covered in the past - it's a side effect of users in different timezones. You have (at least) one user who is in a timezone ahead of you (i.e. when it's 8pm for you, it's 11pm for them). Because of this, they have seen more people than you (i.e. 84, compared to your current 83) because the "most" count is server wide, it gets updated to 84. The other count (83) is unique to you, and will catchup with the other count as the day progresses.

Maybe a stupid question but how am I supposed to get this to work in CMPS 2.1.0? thx

Paul M

03-25-2006 04:38 PM

No idea, I don't use it. I suggest you ask in the VBA forums.

I've been running this hack along with who has visited and who has posted for a week or so now. I just noticed that the "most" stats do not seem to hold. I have a very small private family forum and earlier this week we had 8 visitors in one day - the "most" stat reflected that for several days. Today, we had 6 visitors and the "most" stat has changed to show 6 as the most ever visitors when it should still be showing 8. Same applies for posters...most should be 6 (and was 6 for a while) but now is showing 4 as the most ever posters.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Paul M

The only way that could happen is if something corrupted your datastore and reset the counts to zero, otherwise it's not possible without manual intevention, since the stored count is only updated if the current count is larger.

kennn

04-26-2006 06:05 PM

Hmmm...well it definitely happened and I see no signs of database corruption. Guess I'll just have to keep an eye on it and see how it goes. Thanks for the response.

This really has me curious and I happened to do a MySQL dump yesterday to back up my database, so I decided to do another one today and compare files.

From 04/25/2006:

Code:

INSERT INTO `vb_datastore` VALUES ('maxloggedin', 'a:6:{s:9:"maxonline";i:5;s:13:"maxonlinedate";i:1144430493;s:11:"maxvisitors";i:8;s:15:"maxvisitorsdate";i:1145928403;s:10:"maxposters";i:6;s:14:"maxpostersdate";i:1145918246;}');

From 04/26/2006:

Code:

INSERT INTO `vb_datastore` VALUES ('maxloggedin', 'a:6:{s:9:"maxonline";i:5;s:13:"maxonlinedate";i:1146065294;s:10:"maxposters";i:5;s:14:"maxpostersdate";i:1146067830;s:11:"maxvisitors";i:6;s:15:"maxvisitorsdate";i:1146065007;}');

As you can see, yesterday the maxvisitors was 8 and maxposters was 6 and today they are 6 and 5.

I did a file comparison between both database dumps and there is nothing out of the ordinary - just the usual changes from new posts, events, cron jobs running, etc. No sign of hacking or any corruption that I can see.

I would love to know how these records got changed. All other stats and information are spot on as they should be, even the "most online at once" which VB itself maintains is still correct.

Paul M

04-26-2006 09:24 PM

Well something is resetting the counts - possibly you have something that is rewriting the maxloggedin record without the maxposters & maxvisitors data.

I've gone through the code of each and none of them make any reference to the maxloggedin datastore (except of course for "most ever visitors, posters, chatters").

I am also running vbAdvanced CMPS which does have a "who's online" module which makes references to maxloggedin. Do you think it could be the culprit? Thanks.

kennn

04-26-2006 10:43 PM

I think this is the salient portion of the onlineusers module for CMPS:

Code:

        $maxusers['maxonline'] = $vbulletin->maxloggedin['maxonline'];



        if ($vbulletin->maxloggedin['maxonline'] <= $totalonline)

        {

                $maxusers['maxonline'] = $totalonline;

                $maxusers['maxonlinedate'] = TIMENOW;

                $db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "datastore SET data='" . addslashes(serialize($maxusers)) . "' WHERE title = 'maxloggedin'");

        }



        $recordusers = $maxusers['maxonline'];

        $recorddate = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $vbulletin->maxloggedin['maxonlinedate'], 1);

        $recordtime = vbdate($vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $vbulletin->maxloggedin['maxonlinedate']);

If you think this might be the culprit, do you have any suggestions on changes I could make to the CMPS module to keep its functionality but prevent it from overwriting your plugin's data (if that is what it is doing)?

I guess I could always turn off that module but I would like to keep it if possible. Thanks!

Paul M

04-27-2006 07:27 AM

Ouch, yes, that is the culprit - it's using an sql query to directly write the maxloggedin record, erasing the maxposters and visitors data, that's very bad of whoever wrote it, the correct way is to use the build_datastore() function;

Try changing this line ;

PHP Code:


		
			
$db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "datastore SET data='" . addslashes(serialize($maxusers)) . "' WHERE title = 'maxloggedin'");

to this

PHP Code:


		
			
build_datastore('maxloggedin', serialize($vbulletin->maxloggedin));

kennn

Much thanks, Paul!

I've added your code change to my CMPS onlineusers module and will see how it goes. Hard to believe I'm the first to encounter this. I assume a lot of people are using vBAdvanced CMPS and your plugin. If this change stops the CMPS onlineusers module from stepping on the "most" plugin's toes, I'll call it to their attention over at vbadvanced.com. Thanks again! :)

My site usually has no more than 30 members/guests online.. Before the stats were reset I think we managed to have like 100 on a one time.. But never 266 guests!

any idea why?

You obviously had 266 guests - probably a load of spiders.

You think so?? I will check the logs.. I just thought it was odd.. I disabled guest access all last week due to the NFL Draft because I run a Bengals site.. Maybe they were queued up just waiting for it lol
