has anyone ever had a problem with the active users record resetting itself.
Its not a major problem... in 3 years of using this it has happened only 3 or 4 times, but it happened again this week. What causes it to reset itself? |

| There has been a few reports about that problem, but that's it. I don't think anyone has tried to find the cause for this, but Im just guessing. |

Hi!
On request, I activated the option "Show on active users" on the member-profile. As described in the help-box, a cuople of (in my wiew) paranoid members, actually stated "That (they) couldn't grasp whose business it is whatever they were doing on the forum!" - and went on with wiews on information-overload on the forum. From me, they got a sober reply, stating that the "active users"-feature has a social function, allowing members to see who are visiting our virtual clubhouse.
Now, everyone seems to be happy once again, but still - Anonymous members are still allowed to use the "active-users"-feature. I find that somewhat unfair- why should anonymous members be allowed to wiew, and not be wiewed? So I went to look for the feature that allows only members who aren't afraid to flaunt to use the "Active Users".
Or in short; I would like to disable the "active users"-feature for members who choose the anonymous appearance - I wanna state: If you choose not to be shown, then nothing shall be shown to ya! :)
best regards,
Lars Gj |

| That shouldn't be impossible to create, even though it requires some major re-coding. Im not aware of anyone who has done it, but it does seem like a good addon-mod. Perhaps someone is up to the challenge? Im not, as Im in the process of changing database for my website (switching to mysql from access) and I have a lot of code that needs to be reworked. |

Funny thing is: The now anonymous members are the most frequent users of the "Active topics"-feature. I'd just love to see the addon-mod which automaticly denies anonimous members to use the "Active users"-function.
Our forum is a virtual clubhouse, and not a room to enter with a hood over yer head... :)
So please, anyone capable of solving this problem: I owe you one!
best regards,
Lars Gj |

Why not disabling the anonymous feature in that case and enable active users just for members? Seems like that would be much more inline with the kind of forum that you use.
If I had more free time I would help you, but Im currently in the process of upgrading my forum from access to mysql. Perhaps someone else wants to give this mod a shot? |

Active users is enabled for members only. But still, some members want to remain anonymous on the active users-page. Its indisputable that to be enable to post anything, you have to be a member! And if anything is to be posted, that member will show up on the active users-page.
Now, I agree that any text can be written on the Wordpad or similar before its pasted onto the dialogbox to post, login performed as you post - and this will just take seconds - but given the degree of computer knowledge on the members, this is not a good solution.
As long as the "active topics"-function is dependand on ones login, its going to be hard to remain anonymous, though I personally agree that anonymity is kinda cowardy. Personal wiews set aside: It is possible to be even more anonymous in other similar forums (newspapers, etc).
But if you choose to be anonymous: there should be a price. hence the desired mod.
Best regards, and thank you for your answers.

Due to "Read Me":
"AFTER you have uploaded all the files from your 34 directory and BEFORE you make any changes to existing files, you need to update the database."
I updated databe and files locally. When i upload it to internet, can't i update databe (after edited files)? |

No there is a call to db in the addons and this is not add yet.
The first as update the db and after that update the files and upload the update files, but you are not stupid???? and have get a backup of the files and db befor you have done anything, only upload the org files again and our forum works again.

Yep i backed up and already did it. Just wonder about why it's not possible.
Another issue, i had doubled entries in "Forum Config New" table. I upgraded normally and it works normally. But why don't overwrite on old rows and create new ones? Same variable names, because ýf ID? |

I cannot say why as I didn't create the dbs-file, but I guess for simplicity. The dbs-file assumes that you haven't added the AU-mod before.
If you have the AU-mod already added, it is better to create a custom-made dbs file which only inserts the values missing and updates the others. |

Sorry but i have not say that is the dbs script there have do the fault.
You have write the anser here abowe, i think in the futures all dbs scrip have to delite the db feilds before that create this agan.
That i have write is that gato have done to her setup script is if the database felt is there that go to the next step or check that if not there that create the feilds else leve or go to the next step, yes this is a realy setup script or can update from all snitz code forums mode or not.
But i am still to stupid to understan how it is writen, and still the best i have try fore fun have i update more than 8 diferent snitz databse or convert this to gml whiteout any fault to the db, i dont forget the first time i try to update a sh db and get a db white duble entries or verry big or nothing works.
But that image have done to update her forums is great that works perfect ( yes i use images forums code).
And this active user nod i great but i wonder whay there is difference in the lang file or some mish in the translate, i have try that white active users or spider notification buth the lang file is mish after i have read that topic more than one time yes i have understan it, but i think many still dont understan whay there mish some translte to there lcid codes.
Only to say kib that greath works alive.

I wasn't implying that the dbs-script was wrong, only that it is limited.

Definitely, even though that would require a major overhaul of how the mod setup script works.

Im not sure if I understand you here, has gato created her own mod setup for Snitz?

Im not familiar with workings of Image's lang-files, but I have noticed that they are different from the lang-files found in the AU-mod. I guess that is why they differ and work differently. |
