i'm stuck on step 5...how do i extract the .dat from the .dat.gz?

WinZip will do it if you're on Windows. Or ftp it up to your server, telnet in, and use gzip to extract it.

thanks...guess i had a brainfart for a minute

i was also wondering if someone would be kind enough to show me how to turn the members list link into a dropdown that had the members list and the map in it?

also...in the readme...the two optional items...what do they do?..

Add the maps to the top of the member's list and who's online pages.

I added these maps... Well.. Overwrote the old ones with these I should say.. Then I reran the cron job... My maps didnt change.. am I forgetting to do something?

If you are using the transparent option so that your background shows through you may not notice much has changed since all I did was set the Med sea to transparent.

If you are not using the transparent option then the new coloured map should appear - all I did was replace the old map in ./forum/worldmap/maps with the new one, ran the cron job manually and then refreshed the page and it used the new map.

Hello,

great plugin! But does it really count online users & guests? i have 81 people online 15 users and 66 guests and only see about 20 red points. Is it, because most of them come frmo the same city or does it miss some?

It could miss some if the IP isn't in the database I guess. Plus, this is the LITE version of the database, so it may not be as complete as the one you can purchase.

will changing the minutes in the cron from 14,29,44,59 to 5 make it run every 5 minutes?
