When it is running it may be conflicting with one of my other mods, it was just a want not a I need this really, so I can live without it.

I'm not running vbadvanced and I've no hacks or anything installed that should affect this. Only couple of minor hacks installed.

I don't have any non-default displays of max users online anywhere so dunno if that could be it.

I'm running 3.6.7 PL1

I suppose you're right. I was thinking mainly for my own benefit so that if the site is slow I can see if it's due to a high number of spiders on. I've never been good at checking logs. They're complicated to understand for me at least. I'm not very technical savvy.

Thanx for this mod. But I have a problem wich you have talked about before. When I insert in the onlineusers.php I get this fault:
and the vb_session table exist.

Solved it. I just pasted this line without the table prefix, and it worked.
All of my tables have table-prefix _vb, but the rest of the original query refers to this table without it.

Is anyone else trying to use this mod with PaulM's most ever mod?

I'm currently getting low counts for active users, that is, spiders aren't included.
But the most ever guest count is a lot higher than I'd expect. It must be including spiders, and in turn affecting the most ever users online stat.

Are they compatable? To me it doesn't look like it.

I just added ur mod, however whats weird is my record of users went down from 1600 to 172 members online and today as the record.
My who is online shows guests but the main page shows 0 guests,
Am only confused cause i cant see in the code what could mess up the record query !

Thanks for that. Very strange though - I have to check more into that syntax. I don't use table prefixes, or mysql 5 - are you using mysql 5 and if so, is strict mode set?

From the looks of it they wouldn't be compatible. The reason is that Paul's mod will not be differentiating spiders in the totals, and is probably re-writing the max online statistic.

Sounds like the mod is functioning exactly as designed. I suggest you give it time (see other posts on this thread which cover the same subject) and the number of guests will increase to the correct number. If in doubt -use the test script I included to verify that everything is working as you expect.

Thanks mfyvie, that's what I thought. It would be great if they did work together though, as now it looks like I might have to drop one of them, unless I can work out a way to edit it myself.

Take a look into Paul's mod and see if you can see the part where it does a query to get the number of guests. It should just be a matter of adding "AND spider = -1" to the "WHERE" section of the query. After that you'll probably want to manually reset the max online totals again.
