Great mod. Using AU 4.0.17 on Snitz 3.4.0.3. Works just fine for me except for two items.
1. Ghosting problem which has been addressed with previous posts in this thread. I'll consider it solved.
2. Active Users doesn't seem to "let go" of members that don't actually hit the Logout button. It keeps counting up the minutes until they actually log out and then log back in.
What section of code would this function preside and I'll check my code first. I'll link you to the actual files if I can't get it resolved.
Thanks a bunch. Great group in here. |

| What have you set the timeout value for? Everytime a member views a page, the AU-table is updated for that member. If another member views a page, the AU-table is updated again, but adding online time for each member. When a member's online time equals the timeout value, they will be removed as online. If you have set the timout value to 100 minutes, each member will appear to be online for 100 minutes after they last viewed a page. |

| This is actually a basic ASP question, but since I saw it done in this Mod, I'll ask it here. I noticed in the Active_Users table in the DB that the time a user logs in is recorded in a text field, not date & time. Why is it done that way? Also, what code in Active_Users.asp converts the text back into date & time? |

masterao... Thank you. I didn't fully understand how the timeout worked. Your explanation cleared it up and made sense of what was going on.
The mod is now working perfectly. |

No problems, Danomatic. Im glad I could be of assistance. 
betheball, the au-mod uses the forum functions for easy handling of dates as a string (as the date is to be easily formated into all different display variants (ddmmyy, mmddyy, yyyymmdd, and so on).. If you want to look it up, check Sub ActiveUserTracker() which is added into inc_func_common.asp.
You can also find function DateToStr(dtDateTime) in inc_func_common.asp.

| That sounds like session-variables isn't saved. Did you add everything into config.asp? Easiest way to check is to Log into Admin Section, check Forum Variables Information and search for strAUPAllow. If you don't find it, you have missed to add some code to config.asp. |

| Thanx, I seached the variables page, and found the strAUPAllow keyword beside it is the number 4, dont what that means. I have also included the inc_activeuser.asp file in the default.asp page. But nada is happening. There is no option in the profile page to choose to be shown as active or anonymous etc. |

The 4 means that everyone should see the AU-panel. Login to your Admin Section and click Check Installation. That will reload all session variables, and hopefully fix your problem.

Well the active users config page gets reset everytime I enter it..is that supposed to happen? I have set the timeout to 12 and the AU panel is set so that everyone can see it.
Active Users Panel in Separate Table: On
Active Users Panel Collapsible : On ...etc. |
