Author Topic: New Snippet: Users Online (Read 40230 times)

Ruud · « **on:** August 22, 2008, 04:30:19 PM »

In the series fun snippets, here is the Users Online snippet.

It displays a simple line that says "Currently: 21 users online".
Hovering over the line a tooltip popup will display a timestamp and the page that is being viewed.
When called with your "admin" IP address it will also display the IP address of the visitors and if it is called by a searchbot. (experimental bot detection).

See the snippet in action on http://www.wbhulp.nl (Dutch website) in the right top of the page.

Installation:

Install the zipfile as a normal module through the WB backend.
Add the php code to your template index.php.

Using the snippet:

Code: [Select]

<?php UsersOnline(); ?>     

Optional parameters: <?php UsersOnline( $use_tooltip, $prefix , $suffix , $single , $admin_ip ) ?>

  $use_tooltip = Adds a small javascript to display a hovering tooltip with details of the current connections. (default := 1, 0 no tooltip)
  $prefix = The text in front of the user counter. ( default := "Currently: " )
  $suffix = The text after the user counter when there is more than one user online. (default = " users online")
  $single = The text after the user counter when there is just one user online. (default = " user online")
  $admin_ip = The IP address that will see more details. Details are IP address and browser name (if detected) (default := "127.0.0.1")

Customised Example: <?php UsersOnline(1 , "Online: " , " users" , " user", "192.168.0.1" ) ; ?>

Have fun with it.

Hi Ruud,

want to invite you to work with us on this project:

We are just a half step behind (or in front of) the start line....

Hello Ruud

A nice one, and on a first look, clean as fresh fallen snow

But there are some unnessesary spaces instead of tabs,
seen in the attachment ... hard work for the preprocessor

is it possible to display the name of registered users online in this snippet? i don´t know to manage it.

best regards, pfreud01

Ruud · « **Reply #4 on:** September 09, 2008, 04:17:45 PM »

No,

The data recorded by the snippet does not include that.
So it is not possible to display.

Maybe in a future version.

Dumb question but is this registered users only, or total online users? Also if total users can it can be modified to show an image for every x amount of users with the numbers?

I was thinking it might be cool to create something like little characters, possibly with simple gif animations, hanging out in the stat box as a visual representation of how many users are online.

It's total users. (and bots)

It's open source. Be my guest.

Has anyone had any problems with this? It has been working fine when suddenly today the page stops loading at this call

Code: [Select]

<?php UsersOnline(1 , "Currently: " , " visitors viewing this page" , " visitor viewing this page") ; ?>

Is it still displaying anything?
Did you try to set the error reporting (advanced admin settings) to display all errors to see if it tells something?

I have it running on my site since day one without problems.

Must be something Yahoo webhosting changed. I got a message today that they disabled some features because I got a new credit card number and forgot to tell them, so they couldn't charge me. Maybe that did it though everything else seems to work.

I tried to run it out of WB in a php page no luck. I also tried another script I found online that counts sessions as an alternative

http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/PHP/The-Quickest-Way-To-Count-Users-Online-With-PHP/1/

and no luck.

Hmm... just curious I use opendns.org - is it possible that somehow blocks access to my 'more info' ip that your snippet is looking for. In other words maybe only I cannot see it? I just added the code back, can you see the little gray box with user info at the bottom?

http://www.stormvisions.com/pages/home.php

Ruud · « **Reply #11 on:** November 14, 2008, 11:59:16 PM »

Yes, there is a grey block at the bottom of the page.

The more info just compares ip addresses as strings. That cannot be an issue.
The other script is totally different, not using IP adresses, not using database. It's very strange both of the scripts don't work.

Database communication still works (you would not have pages if it didn't)
Can you still create or update normal pages?

Did Yahoo tell what features were disabled?

Ruud

bupaje · « **Reply #12 on:** November 15, 2008, 12:08:28 AM »

No, they didn't say which ones. everything else seems normal. Very starnge.

I was able to implement this script found online

http://ronsguide.com/php/online/2/

and it outputs normally on my test page. It writes to a flatfile database if that sheds any light.

Hi,

right now I had a look, and everything looks good to me.

bupaje · « **Reply #14 on:** November 15, 2008, 04:39:11 PM »

That is a different script now - not very accurate either it seems.

Hi
Get an error when setting E_Strict

Code: [Select]

Strict Standards: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'Europe/Berlin' for 'CEST/2.0/DST' instead in /www/modules/usersonline/include.php on line 38

crnogorac081 · « **Reply #18 on:** September 14, 2009, 10:12:48 PM »

I got the same notification in PM module i built. I think it is just a note, not an error..

For example, If my hosting server is in US and I am in europe, I will set timezone to my local timezone in europe..

So its stupit to use same timezone from US , right ? I belive this is it...

If I am wrong someone please tell us what to do

cheers

Ok, then a another message

Edit: Currently I am testing a few Snippets & Modules

Good evening!
I put this module on my website.
http://validator.w3.org/check found a lot of mistakes.
I have corrected all the errors.
You should find the file include.php and replace this code:

Quote

if ($use_tooltip != 0) {
while($res = $counter_res->fetchRow()) {
if ($admin_ip == $ipaddress)
$userlist .= date("H:i:s",$res['timestamp'])." [".$res['ip']."] ".$res['page']." (".$res['page_title'].") ".bot($res['user_agent'])."<br/>";
else
$userlist .= date("H:i:s",$res['timestamp'])." - ".$res['page']." (".$res['page_title'].")<br/>";
}
echo '<SCRIPT language="JavaScript1.2" src="'.WB_URL.'/modules/usersonline/overlib_mini.js" type="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>';
echo "<span href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onmouseover=\"return overlib('$userlist',HAUTO,VAUTO,WIDTH,600,BGCOLOR,'#FFFFFF',FGCOLOR,'#FFFFFF',BORDER,5,WRAP);\" onmouseout=\"return nd();\">";
}
if($user == 1) {
echo $prefix.$user.$single;
} else {
echo $prefix.$user.$suffix;
}
if ($use_tooltip != 0)
echo "</span>";

and put the following code:

Quote

if ($use_tooltip != 0) {
while($res = $counter_res->fetchRow()) {
if ($admin_ip == $ipaddress)
$userlist .= date("H:i:s",$res['timestamp'])." [".$res['ip']."] ".$res['page']." (".$res['page_title'].") ".bot($res['user_agent'])."<br />";
else
$userlist .= date("H:i:s",$res['timestamp'])." - ".$res['page']." (".$res['page_title'].") <br />";
}
echo '<script language="JavaScript1.2" src="'.WB_URL.'/modules/usersonline/overlib_mini.js" type="text/javascript"></script>';
echo "<a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onmouseover=\"return overlib('$userlist',HAUTO,VAUTO,WIDTH,600,BGCOLOR,'#FFFFFF',FGCOLOR,'#FFFFFF',BORDER,5,WRAP);\" onmouseout=\"return nd();\">";
}
if($user == 1) {
echo $prefix.$user.$single;
} else {
echo $prefix.$user.$suffix;
}
if ($use_tooltip != 0)
echo "</a>";

Hello Ruud,

I am going to use this nice snippet on a project.

It's very nice but I would like to show something like:
currently 35 users online | 15 logged in and 20 visitors.

Could this be implemented somehow?

Maybe you can give me some hints, so I can learn and do the rest myself (with some help).

Kind regards,
Stefek

Ruud · « **Reply #22 on:** December 07, 2009, 10:40:51 PM »

To do that it will need an extra field in the counter table.
A simple check on the session variable could be done to see if the current user is logged in.
A bit more logic will be needed to query the table to produce the correct counters.
Some extra parameters will be needed to be accepted to display more text fragments.

If I find some time the next few days, I will have a look to see if I can add this feature.
I think this is not te best project to start learning PHP coding.

Hello Ruud,
thanks for your hints, and yes, reading your explanations I agree with ...

And if you find some time it would be a very nice extension for this snippet.
