I have a lot of members browsing through a wap gateway which assigns there ip as the same for all users. The problem this presents with the active user page is when multiple people from the network access the forum at the same time they share the same line and it only displays there info. Does anyone know of a way to add a secondary check to "active_users_inc.asp" so all will be display even with the same IP? ------------- http://www.mobilegear.biz - Mobile Gear.biz -Ringtones, games, videos, links and more... http://www.mobilegear.biz/forum/ - Wireless Forums |

you could add a cookie to the users system, and use that as a secondary checker |

Do most mobile phones accept cookies?

Most of the newer phones do, plus I have the login setup on the standard cookie based login so if they don't accept them they don't get in.  As far as the cookie based check that was my first thought. For most cases I could just user their username because that is already in the array but I got stumped when it comes to "guests". Any thoughts? By the way thanks DP and DJ. -Scott ------------- http://www.mobilegear.biz - Mobile Gear.biz -Ringtones, games, videos, links and more... http://www.mobilegear.biz/forum/ - Wireless Forums |

you could MOD each url to keep a tracking ID like &ALID=random value have that on all url's quite a big mod though |

What if I were to change the 'get users array position' to: '****************************************** '*** Get users array position *** '****************************************** 'Iterate through the array to see if the user is already in the array For intArrayPass = 1 To UBound(saryActiveUsers, 2) 'Check the IP address and Username If saryActiveUsers(0, intArrayPass) = strIPAddress AND saryActiveUsers(1, intArrayPass) = lngLoggedInUserID Then intActiveUserArrayPos = intArrayPass blnIPFound = True 'Else check a logged in member is not a double entry ElseIf saryActiveUsers(1, intArrayPass) = lngLoggedInUserID AND saryActiveUsers(1, intArrayPass) <> 2 Then intActiveUsersDblArrayPos = intArrayPass End If Next This would not solve the guest problem but I could live with that. However would I be causing myself any unnecessary problems? Such as login/logout? ------------- http://www.mobilegear.biz - Mobile Gear.biz -Ringtones, games, videos, links and more... http://www.mobilegear.biz/forum/ - Wireless Forums |

So after the previous code not working along with many revisions that
almost worked I incorporated your idea, dj air, about session id's and
I added it into my active users array. The only problem is that I am getting duplicates. So I modded the active users page to show ip/session id and in the duplicates both number match like so:
It also does this with members. Anyone have any ideas??? Here is the revised code '****************************************** '*** Get users array position *** '****************************************** 'Iterate through the array to see if the user is already in the array For intArrayPass = 1 To UBound(saryActiveUsers, 2) 'Check the IP address and Username If saryActiveUsers(0, intArrayPass) = strIPAddress AND saryActiveUsers(10, intArrayPass) = strUserSessionID Then intActiveUserArrayPos = intArrayPass blnIPFound = True 'Else check a logged in member is not a double entry ElseIf saryActiveUsers(1, intArrayPass) = lngLoggedInUserID AND saryActiveUsers(1, intArrayPass) <> 2 Then intActiveUsersDblArrayPos = intArrayPass End If Next ------------- http://www.mobilegear.biz - Mobile Gear.biz -Ringtones, games, videos, links and more... http://www.mobilegear.biz/forum/ - Wireless Forums |
