Who's Online Enhancements v1.0

[Carcrafter]

Here it is, folks! My first osCommerce contribution! It's a simple one, but useful.

 

This contribution adds a few enhancements to the admin's Who's Online page. One thing I noticed when I would check the Who's Online page is that it lists existing sessions, not individual users. For example, I would have, say, 30 listings, but only 14 individual IP addresses. I would have to figure out how many individual users were on by counting the unique IP's. What a headache.

 

So I tweaked the whos_online.php page to do the math for me. While I was at it, I also decided to make the IP address clickable to open a new window and do a WHOIS on that IP. That way I could tell approximately where the user was coming from.

 

Then I also made the URL clickable so I could go to the same page the user was at on my own site.

 

Since the contributions uploads has been temporarily turned off, I put this contribution up on my own site. Get it at:

Great Contrib. I like it alot.

 

Anotherthing I've always wanted to be able to see from the 'who's online' is what the referring URL was.

 

Is there any possible way you could include this data as well?

Interesting. I will see if I can add referring URL for the next version. Thanks for the comments!
