Hiya!
Just wondered if anyone would be interested in making a MOD which would show how long each member has spent on the forum since they registered?
Cheers  |

Sounds good and shouldn't be too dificult to implement if you already have the active users mod installed. All you would need to do is create an additional numeric field in the members table to hold the new value. Then, before the user is deleted from the active uesrs table in the ActiveUserTracker function, simply calculate the time they've been active for and update the field in the members table. Of course, the lower the timeout you have on activeusers, the more accurate it will all be, but be careful not to set it too low.

It shouldn't be too difficult to put together, all that's needed is a dbs file, one change to inc_func_common.asp and minor changes to whichever pages you want the info to show on (members.asp, topic.asp or pop_profile.asp). Unfortuantely, there'll be no way of working out how much time existing members have already spent there unless you give tham all some arbitrary figure of, say, 30 mins. per each day registered but I think it would be better when displaying the time to say "x hours spent on line since date y" where date y is the sate you implemented the system. Anyhoo, fell free to pop into my Server Side Scripting forum and give us a hand writing/testing this.
