On the forums home page, down near the "mark all forums read" link, there is another link to clear the session. What does this do, what is its purpose?

all it does is clear your cookies..

I thought mark all forums read also cleared your cookies. But clearing sessions does not mark any forums as read, so I guess that is the difference. But why would someone want to clear the cookies...I mean what is the practical purpose of it?

I like the Clear Session feature and wonder if Firefly would share with us how its done?

Add this action to member.php:

Code:

// ############################### start clear sessions ###############################

if ($action=="clears") {

  include("./global.php");

  if ($bbuserinfo[userid]!=0 and $bbuserinfo[userid]!=-1) {

    $DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET lastactivity='".(time()-$cookietimeout)."',lastvisit='".time()."' WHERE userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]'");

  }

  $DB_site->query("DELETE FROM session WHERE sessionhash='".addslashes($session[dbsessionhash])."'");

  $DB_site->query("DELETE FROM session WHERE userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]'");

  eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_sessionclear")."\");");

}

and link to member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=clears
Add a template named error_sessionclear and put your message there.

And all this does--the only thing at all--is remove you from the Who's Online? It doesn't mark anything as read, it doesn't log you out, it doesn't do anything else, other than take you off Who's Online?

I'm still not sure if I see what the point is. If someone can explain it to me a little better so that I can explain it to my members so we'll all know what to do with it, I'd really appreciate it.

It does not log you out, which would clear your cookie and prevent an auto-login next time.

It does remove you from Who's Online.

Why? Because if you leave the site, you show up on Who's Online for 15 minutes after your last activity.

It's just if you don't want to show up on Who's Online without actually logging out.

And it does mark all forums read.
If you don't want that, remove this code from the code above:

Code:

  if ($bbuserinfo[userid]!=0 and $bbuserinfo[userid]!=-1) {

    $DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET lastactivity='".(time()-$cookietimeout)."',lastvisit='".time()."' WHERE userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]'");

  }

Well, this works but it still shows the user as ONLINE in their Profile and in the CURRENTLY ACTIVE user list.

All times are GMT. The time now is 06:13 AM.
