Hi,

I am noticing a problem that sometimes a user is shown more then one time in the who's online list. how can i avoid this problem

i have altered my default.asp a bit to show these online users at the top. you can find my default.asp at http://users.pandora.be/WackJack/wack-onlinebox-mod.zip - http://users.pandora.be/WackJack/wack-onlinebox-mod.zip

thx in advance,
wack 

hmmz,

there's no little asp-code that i can insert into my board to get rid of this? the 7.1 version really fits my needs en i've altered it a lot so it's preferable for me that i stick with 7.1 version.

Anywayz thx for replying,
greetz wack

WOWWWWW..

this is great.   now let me make sure I can do this before I go messing somthing up..

I need to download the 7.5 beta version.. extract the files.. and replace my current active_users_inc.asp with the one from the 7.5 version?!

and that will get rid of all my duplicate users?! 

Thanks boRg cause I wouldn't have made backups..   see.. you already got me figured out..

I can't wait to try this.. and I am gaining loads of experience for when 7.5 is released so I can upgrade!!

OK.. it's me again..

I downloaded the new one.. extracted the files.. replaced the old file with the new one (AFTER making a copy)

and here's an error I am getting..

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01f4'

Variable is undefined: 'strTxtDataBasedOnActiveUsersInTheLastXMinutes'

/forum/active_users.asp, line 247

I looked up line 247 and here it is:

<br /><span class="text"><% = strTxtDataBasedOnActiveUsersInTheLastXMinutes %></span><br /><br /><%

 

sooooo.. where do I go from here?

PAM.. we can do this.. your gonna have to stick with me on this one! 

I am determined to get this working..

I have tried taking that line out.. (that didn't work)  tried changing that X to a number.. (that didnt' work)  but I know boRg will be here and rescue me soon!!  until then.. everything works.. just an error shows up at the bottom..  

I am REALLY hoping it will get rid of my spy bot problems .. sometimess I can have 25 of those showing up at once.  I like them there.. but don't need them all listed!!  but maybe this won't even solve that problem.. but it WILL solve the AOL members who come on  5 -10 times..  

that's already cool but it will give another error now.

You also need to replace this code:

If Request.Cookies(strCookieName)("Hide") = "True" Then
 blnHideActiveUser = 1
Else
 blnHideActiveUser = 0
End If

If Request.Cookies("Forum")("Hide") = "True" Then
 blnHideActiveUser = 1
Else
 blnHideActiveUser = 0
End If

I am soooo lost!!  

do I need to do all those things PLUS still fix my error???

   that didn't work.. I got a whole page error that time..

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01a8'

Object required: 'rsCommon'

/forum/active_users.asp, line 115

 

so I saved the one I changed this morning.. (renamed it)  and now went back to the original one. 

anyone got any other suggestions?

DUAH... wait a second.. you said to put it in my "includes" file..

let me go check... cause I didn't put it there..

now do I leave the one from this morning up there then?!  I'll try it both ways..

ok.. I have the new includes/active_users.asp up there with the original forum/active_users.asp 

no errors.. but dont' know yet if the duplication problem is solved or not because I won't know till I have a duplication..  

thanks for all the help!! 

whittibo it's not active_users.asp the one you have to replace, it's active_users_inc.asp.

<edit> replace the one on the forum folder back with the original (i think you already did that), and replace the active_users_inc.asp on the includes folder with the one that comes on the includes folder on version 7.5 and do the changes Bruce stated above.

<edit> and also do the change that wack stated.

THANKS Fernan!!

I think I have it the way it's supposed to be.. that DANG .inc.asp is what messed me up~  I switched the first one I saw..  

so many files.. so little brain..

now.. I have my forum/active_users.asp back to it's original (thanks again to boRg for reminding me to backup!)  and I have replaced my includes/active_users_inc.asp with the one Wack posted.. (thanks Wack!) 

I haven't seen any duplicates yet.. so it must be working.. right?~

Hey Pam.. I thought you said.. SHOOT UP... I had to read that post a couple times..     anyway.. I am assuming that 'shoot off' is WAY different?! 

Did you use the download that Wack posted?  it was a snap for me.. (well.. after I put it in the right place anyway)
