Hi, If you have a database with a field saying UserID how can you say who is logged in to your site and display it on a page? like the forums do - i've tried to look but its abit over my head - is there a way of doing it realy simply? |

You would have to write to something like an active users table if you just want to count logged in users. Simply do an insert to a table, have it updated on every page and if this updates finds users who have a lastupdatetime of let's say 20 min ago, scratch them. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

Or you could set a cookie or session on the login page and use something like this: if not request.cookies("userid") = "" Then response.write request.cookies("userid") Else response.write "You are not logged in!" End If |

use the user counter on this site as an example, just modify that code to add to a database instead of incrementing an integer ------------- Paul A Morgan http://www.pmorganphoto.com/" rel="nofollow - http://www.pmorganphoto.com/ |
