Who's Online List "Viewing Attachment"

[No Limit]

I have a problem that bugs me a bit. All my cms articles have a attached inline image in them. These all show up on my home page and on my articles page. When a guest is on one of these pages the online list doesn't show the page he/she is on but instead shows "Viewing Attachment". I tried searching but can't seem to find a fix. Is this something that can be corrected with a setting or mod?

I have the same type of problem, and its quite annoying.

When viewing whose online, MOST users are always viewing Attachment, refresh the page, and SOMETIMES a few users will be listed as viewing what they should be?

Has this been resolved anywhere else?

I have this problem, sometimes to varying degrees.

I'm in the middle of writing a plugin that will "explain" what attachment is being viewed. If the attachment belongs to a post, I will have the userinfo['activity'] say that it's "Viewing Attachment to Post in BlahBlahBlah thread" or something similar.

I do not know all of the places where attachments are used, though. I'm going through and trying to find that out right now, so that I can put, "viewing attachment in Blog" or "Viewing attachment in album" or whatever (if they use attachments).

After I get it all tested out a bit and everything, I'll post up the code I'm using, and maybe it'll help you guys out. It's a pretty concept (at least in theory)--on the online_location_preprocess, test to see if $filename is attachment.php, and if so, check some tables to see where that attachment is attached to, then pull and display that info.

We'll see if it works out that simply in practice, though. XD
