Mine does? "Most users ever online in one day was 62 on 05-23-2004.." Posted direct from my forums.

Mine doesn't though - and I'm asking why!

Are you sure you manually ran this query on your database?

INSERT INTO datastore (title, data) VALUES ('todaymaxonline', 'a:2:{s:14:\"todaymaxonline\";i:1;s:18:\"todaymaxonlinedate\";i:1070000000;}')

If you didn't, it won't store it.

Here's the output from my database. "240" is the number of visitors today. So it's going in the database, but not being retained overnight.


mysql> select * from datastore where title like '%online%';
+----------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| title | data |
+----------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| todaymaxonline | a:2:{s:14:"todaymaxonline";i:240;s:18:"todaymaxonl inedate";i:1086044400;}
|
+----------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql>

Mine looks almost exactly the same:

title data
todaymaxonline a:2:{s:14:"todaymaxonline";i:76;s:18:"todaymaxonli nedate";i:1086062400;}

But I'm wondering how your server is cutting the time off. Hmm...

very good. i installed this just now, took about 10 minutes tops. only thing i changed was in the phrase "most_users_ever", i changed it from "on" to "in" a day. just sounded better. thank you!

I have a question.

Is this a MysQL query?:

INSERT INTO datastore (title, data) VALUES ('todaymaxonline', 'a:2:{s:14:\"todaymaxonline\";i:1;s:18:\"todaymaxo nlinedate\";i:1070000000;}')

Sorry I'm not used to do these kind of things.

Props on the addons from everyone here!
