Why does the ACP quick stats report a totally different number from this Mod?

I have Admin Control Panel Quick Stats enabled, and it shows 92 "Unique Members Today" while Who Was Online Today reports 135. Shouldn't these report the same number?

Ok.. I followed the instructions in the txt file and all works well.. There were no instructions on where to put onlinetoday.php and I dont have one anywhere...

Do I need to upload this? How is it working without it?

Great, easy hack.. Thanks..

Also - fender.. Really, that txt file is about as easy as it will get.. If you are confused what to do based on that, read all the stickies and faq's.. That txt is about as easy as they come

I dont know where to begin within the admin and how to dissect the script.. I know nothing of .php... not easy enough for me. Could someone give me a basic tutorial from the very beginning..

Sometimes you are required to upload files.. Do so.. Sometimes you need to run a install script.. Point your browser to it and click next next next until its done or whatever.

What I do for file edits is make a copy of the original.. (in an example using index.php) index.php copied to index.old.. Then edit the index.php and make the changes.. I do it by right clicking and going to edit or open with notepad (or other text editor).. make the changes and save.. If something craps out, you can always delete it and rename the index.old back to index.php...

For the template modifications, I just go to the admincp, and go to Styles and Templates > Style Manager.. Then drop down the menu to edit template or add template..

For queries, you will need to get PHPMyAdmin (most hacks dont require these changes or are done with an install script)

I'm sure there are threads dedicated to the processes that would explain it better and you should do a search on that.

So this is only needed if I want it to be a separate page altogether?

My bad.. I should have read everything Happy without the extra page myself..

Well i haven't installed this one myself, so i am not sure. But from the description i would say yes, only if you want it on a seperate page.

the hack works lovely, but the "todaymaxonline" will be resetted day by day.... i dropped the todaymaxonline in my datastore, but the first time a user(or me) makes a refresh on the main page(so the who was online is called by index.php) the todaymaxonline in datastore is updated(or created again if before i dropped it)... i know is right that the datastore must be updated anytime someone call the index.php, but damn! it should register the max online record and the date of it!


if i drop the todaymaxonline into datastore and i run the hack query i will get back this error

im not a sql expert, so if someone can help me ill promise ill pay him a fresh and cool beer :up:


thanks for your attention

UP! help! :ninja:

I just installed this and it works great except mods cant see who was invisible online.. They do from 'Who's online' though

Do I need to make a modification?? Like I said, I just installed it, and I figured all previously talked about bugs were fixed in the latest release
