 Topic: Active Users Issue v. 8 RC1
Posted: 21 March 2006 at 11:29pm |
|
Hi,
I'm testing RC1, and I want to report an issue (I'm sorry if it is known).
I log in as admin, I am on active users list. Then I go to Admin section, system ask me the password, I log in the control panel. I log out the control panel, come back to the forum, I am as a guest in the active users list.
No way to appear again until I log out and log in again.
Thank You.
Damiano

This is very odd behaviour, I will have to try and replicate this issue and find a solution.

I didn't specify that this behaviour occurs after DB conversion. Didn't try with a fresh installation.
Thanks

I have seen the same issue with my test installation (using MS SQL 2005).

Not a big issue but I will look into it.
Seems to show me on this forum as anonymous after logging out the admin section. very odd.

I think I found the issue, it shouldn't show you are a guest, but when you log into the admin section you are set to be shown as an anonymous user in the active users table.

I confirm, not guest but anonymous user. Sorry for my mistake.
And now a suggestion: in forums like phpBB, admins can view anonymous users shown in italic.
Eg.:
logging as user:
there are 3 users: 1 members, 1 hidden, 1 guest
online: user#1
logging as admin:
there are 3 users: 1 members, 1 hidden, 1 guest
online: user#1, user#2
This is useful for admin to know who is the hidden users.
Another feature of phpBB: in the online users list admin are shown in colour (eg. red) and mods too (eg. in green).
This is not useful like the other, but I like it.
Hard to implement?
Thanks again

Anonymous users are shown as their username in the forum stats page in the admin area.
Having the admin and moderators in a different colour could take quite a bit of programming, with either having an extra field for this in the active users array, or extra database hits to test to see if a user is a admin/moderator or not.
