Excluding Guests in Most Users Online

[KPalicz]

For the "Most users ever online" figure, it includes guests and bots. Which means when Google crawls our site, this number jumps up really high and becomes meaningless. Is there a hack (or a setting i'm missing) that will include only registered users in this number?

[KPalicz]

Wow, this dropped like a rock. Any help?

[ozmazdaclub]

Wouldn't mind this also...

me too

[arpy]

find in online.php

if (intval($maxusers['maxonline']) <= $totalonline)
{
	$maxusers['maxonline'] = $totalonline;
	$maxusers['maxonlinedate'] = TIMENOW;
	build_datastore('maxloggedin', serialize($maxusers));
}

and replace the 2 "$totalonline" with "$numbervisible".

This is untested - but I think it works.

It didn't appear to do anything for mine.

anyone else?

This code should work fine. But you must reset the stats first.

[KPalicz]

Yea, i reset the stats, and it still included the guests in the total number.

You must change the a/m code in index.php as well, and maybe also in admincp/index.php.
Also, if you use a portal software it might also contain the same or similar code which needs to be changed.
