Interesting hack... not sure if ill use it yet though since theres still a few bugs.

I was looking at the edits to functions_online.php and they appeared to only be for making it so that people show up in the Who's Online list. Is this correct? What happens if I don't edit this file? Also, you note of potential high load, can you give any more details as to how big the load increase is? What is the main cause of it? How much do you have to turn off to drop the load?

Thanks! Been following your hack closely and will likely install assuming its not going to drown my server - I run a pretty large board.

Perfect solution to my problem! I'll install this!

the load isnt to great like say 2.42 >> 2.36 and like that. to lessen the server load i would either turn off image button validation or one or two of modules. the server load isnt that great but i think i owe it to the users to advise them of this
but this isnt always necessary, cause extra server load rarely occurs

the server load question was answered above

editing functions_online.php enables you and users who are viewing the who's online list will display Viewing Affiliate List, View Affiliate Index, Applying for Affiliation etc.. if you dont edit it will place the name of the file their viewing and saying its an unknown location. i did this so it looks better for boards/communities using this addon/hack

You're missing " . TABLE_PREFIX ." in all the files. You're doing a great job on this one so far.. Keep up the great work!

2.42 seems fairly high. I usually am below that with 300 people on my board. Load really depends on server specs however. Can you tell me how many queries are called on the various functions?

[BlackxRam]

Has this Hack had the Bugs worked out of it? Has anyone installed it with NO problems?

I'm having quite a few problems with the SQL.

When i try:

ALTER TABLE affiliates_settings ADD perpage int(3) NOT NULL, ADD bbsmilies tinyint(4) NOT NULL, ADD bbimage tinyint(4) NOT NULL, ADD moment tiny(4) NOT NULL, ADD most_hitsout tinyint(4) NOT NULL, ADD most_hitsin tinyint(4) NOT NULL, ADD most_votes tinyint(4) NOT NULL, ADD imagelink varchar(250) NOT NULL, ADD senderemail varchar(255) NOT NULL, ADD module_position tinyint(4) NOT NULL, ADD cantview varchar(50) NOT NULL, ADD cantapply varchar(50) NOT NULL, ADD cantrate varchar(50) NOT NULL, ADD disclaimer tinyint(4) NOT NULL, ADD validate tinyint(4) NOT NULL, ADD reporting tinyint(4) NOT NULL, ADD reportemail varchar(255) NOT NULL, ADD cantreport varchar(50) NOT NULL, ADD delay int(3) NOT NULL;,

I get:

You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'tiny( 4 ) NOT NULL ,

When i try:

ALTER TABLE affiliates CHANGE `clicks` `clicksout` INT( 20 ) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ;
ALTER TABLE affiliates2 ADD clicksin INT(20) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL, ADD approved tinyint(4) NOT NULL;

I get:
