It is working now except the time online clock always shows 00:00:00. How can I fix that? Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can I fix that?Rob Actually after messing around a bit with it, the online time clock only gives the time between the entry time and the last click time. It should be a running total of how long the customer has been on the site regardless of the number of clicks. Any way to change it to reflect what I want? Thanks.

Thanks.Rob I suppose you could, but how do you handle the case where the customer leaves the site? Do you keep counting up time until the idle limit is reached? At that point, do you then count the online time as from first click to last click, or do you keep the 5 minutes or so after the last click? If you can come up with a better method of counting time online, I'll consider adding it.

My perception (if I were designing it) of the who's online contribution should reflect exactly who's online and what page they're on and how long they have been on the site...in real time. Last click time is great too. It would be nice to see them disappear when they leave the site if that's possible. I'm not a programmer so I wouldn't know where to begin modifying it or coming up with a better method. I can certainly live with it the way it is.

I'm not a programmer so I wouldn't know where to begin modifying it or coming up with a better method. I can certainly live with it the way it is. Rob The only way that we can know what visitors are doing is through their clicks. There is no way to determine what they are doing once they receive the page, unless we were to add some Javascript to every page (probably in application_top.php) that sends a notification to the server when the user closes the page. I'm not too keen on adding that level of monitoring. So, we have to resort to the approximation that a visit lasts from the first click to the most recent one. Also, we use arbitrarily defined idle times to determine the end of a visit. Because we poll the state of the whos_online table at fixed intervals, we don't get to see everything that visitors do in the shop, just what they are doing at the moment we update. Real-time updates are not possible with the current architecture, and would be a huge burden on the server in busy shops. --Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another refresh will show more time of the clock even if the customer stays on the first page. On yours, the clock stays at 00:00:00 until the customer makes a second click. Is there an easy way to keep the clock going after each refresh? Also, is there a way to show where the customer is located right there on the Who's Online page instead of clicking away from it?

Guest Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 is there much work to add a checkbox for show admin. i want to limit the view to show only customers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 i think i managed to fix this show admin checkbox i added <tr> <td class="smallText" align="left"> show admin </td> <td class="smallText" align="left"> <?php echo '<input type="checkbox" name="admin" value="show" onclick="this.form.submit()"' . ($_GET['admin'] == 'show' ? ' checked="checked"': '') . '>'; ?> </td> </tr> after the bot checkbox did not make a language string for this. edited this part to add the admin if (!($is_bot && !isset($_GET['bots']))) { if (!($is_admin && !isset($_GET['admin']))) { if ($whos_online['session_id'] == $info) { if($whos_online['http_referer'] != "") { $http_referer_url = $whos_online['http_referer']; } and then closed it further down } //close the if $is_admin } // closes "if $isbot statement } // closes "while" statement i think that was all this was done on v3.5.4 the 3.5.5 did not work ok for me.

SteveDallas Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 i think i managed to fix this show admin checkboxi added [snip] this was done on v3.5.4 the 3.5.5 did not work ok for me. Where did you find v3.5.5? The latest version is v3.5.4, along with a number of updates adding language translations. Most shops have limited numbers of admin users browsing the site, so removing admins is of limited interest. --Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 so removing admins is of limited interest. --Glen ok if it is no value for you just get the post deleted. i wanted this and thats why i did this.and only if someone have just a smal interest of the same thing i posted it here. i often edit some things in products and then have a look at the shop. and if i do this some times and close the browserwindow i get many admin users filling up the space for 15minutes. so to have this option on a checkbox is some sort of value for me. also another thing. where can i add inputbox for '(Considered inactive after 5 minutes. Removed after 15 minutes)' so that the admin can select this values Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it is of no value; just that its value is limited to those shops which have many accesses from the admin user, which I believe to be the minority of shops. i often edit some things in products and then have a look at the shop. and if i do this some times and close the browserwindowi get many admin users filling up the space for 15minutes. so to have this option on a checkbox is some sort of value for me. My work style leaves a browser tab open for the shop when testing. I can flip back and forth between the admin tab and the shop tab, which creates only one admin entry in who's online. Different people have different work styles, so I'm not saying that one way is better than another. also another thing.where can i add inputbox for '(Considered inactive after 5 minutes. Removed after 15 minutes)' so that the admin can select this values You could put it near the Show Bots checkbox, I suppose. Note that there is some interaction between the admin viewer and the collector, as the collector (/catalog/includes/functions/whos_online.php) contains the code to delete entries from the whos_online table when the idle limit has been reached. That is done so that the whos_online table doesn't grow uncontrollably when nobody is watching the admin viewer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveDallas Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I am getting the following errors after instaling who is online enhancement On my browser 1054 - Unknown column 'hostname' in 'field list' [snip] Step 3 of the installation instructions instructs you to run some SQL code to add new fields to the whos_online table in the database. When upgrading from a version of Who's Online Enhancement prior to v3.5, only the last statement needs to be run. Using phpMyAdmin or a similar tool, run the following SQL statement on your shop's database: ALTER TABLE `whos_online` ADD `hostname` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL AFTER `ip_address`; This will resolve your problem. --Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JnJSpdShop Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 would there be any reason on the server side or my hosting that the Who's Online 3.5.4 would not work? It used to work and now it doesn't show anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alix32 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Hi, I installed version 3.5.4 and is brilliant. However, although I haven't touched anything, my pages don't refresh anymore. It looks like this happens since I updated to IE7. has this happened to anyone too? Is there a fix to this? Thanks, Alix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveDallas Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Did you disable Javascript in IE7? That would cause the page not to refresh on its own. I don't use IE7, so I haven't tested it. --Glen Hi, I installed version 3.5.4 and is brilliant. However, although I haven't touched anything, my pages don't refresh anymore.

vicster Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I am having a problem that just arose yesterday and continues today (my store has been up and running for months). I have MSN bots showing up as a guest and gaining a session. I have written down their IP addresses and want to put them in whatever file I need to in order to block them from getting a session, but I don't know where. Do I place them in the spider.txt file? If so, do I just place the IP address in there? I already have msnbot listed but they're still getting through. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you are seeing are MSN agents masquerading as live users to detect cloaking, which is where some web sites return different results to bots than to live users. I haven't figured out a good way to get rid of them from the results. While they do get sessions, I haven't seen them put anything in carts. Spiders.txt operates on user agent strings, so nothing there would help. You don't want to block them altogether; it may affect search results. There are two approaches to this. First is to make a change to the bot detection code to flag these as bots and prevent them from getting sessions. This approach is outside the scope of Who's Online Enhancement. The second would be to allow them to get sessions, but display them as though they were detected as bots. This is something that can be done in Who's Online Enhancement, and could be quite simple. --Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicster Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Thanks for the reply, Glen! My main concern is their indexing pages with session ID's. If you don't think this will happen, I won't worry about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
