Cel User Always Online · **Released**: 03-12-2014

What does it do?
This addon simply lets you define one or several users (or usergroups) that will be always shown as online in the Who's Online section and other parts of the forum.

How does it work?
It adds a cron job that updates the last activity entry in the session table for the given users. It is set to run every ten minutes. If your session length is shorter, you will need to adapt the cron job. (You can check your session timeout at AdminCP->Settings->Options->Cookies and HTTP Header Options, it needs to be more than 600, 900 is default).

How to install
Just download, upload the contents of the UPLOAD folder to your forum root, and import the product file of the addon. Then go to AdminCP->Settings->Options and enter the userid(s) of the users (or usergroup ids) you want to be always online in the Cel User Always Online section. Then the users need to log in once manually, to get things started.

Other versions of vB?
This addon should work with every Version of vB4, and most likely on vB3, too (not tested).

No further options will be added. Plus, what you wish for would be possible only with extreme efforts.

This addon does not change the current/last activity of the user in the session table. It will always show what the user's last activity was. This will also not be changed, sorry.

Removed again as after a while it seems to remove members from the who's online list. So after they logged in the cron ran they log out after a few mins it removes there name from the list

Well of course if the user logged out in his browser by clicking the log out button, the mod can not keep them logged in. When they do that, it deletes their info from the session table.

They did not log out just close the browser it did show them online for a few mins after this

No offense, but if a user wants to be shown as online all the time, logging out is a somewhat counterproductive. What do you expect this addon to do - magically log that user in again, when they choose to log out?

Then either your cronjob does not work for any reason or you don't have enough visitors to trigger the cron. Is this a testboard?

I positively can keep users active for hours, if a) the cron runs correctly and b) the session is not destroyed by logging out.

Its a live site and no idea why it does not work.

I've got a similar problem.

I've got 1 user who is shown online on Forumhome and his Profile page, but not on Who is online list.

The problem is that, when I was online on forum, this user showed up on who is online list for hours (even though I've closed his browser), but when I turned off my computer (without loggin out) and went to sleep, he (according to my friends) froze on who is online list. But, he was still showing online on forumhome and profil page in ten minutes' periods.

After I restarted my computer and opened my forum page, he didn't return to who is online list, but still active on these two pages.

I've no idea. Did I screw something up?
