Well today is a new day, I was disappointed to see that the "Visitors Today" side of the script has not re-set, I am at over 500, (I know this is incorrect), the other two aspects do appear to be working, ie the "Active Users" and the "Highest Active User"
I have not yet been able to figure out how to compensate for the 3 hour time discrepancy, I am thinking that I should replace all the word DATE's in the script with DateAdd("h", -3, Date) but my testing does not seem to support this. Any ideas? |

Were you waiting for the new day to test ??
Just add more hours onto the date function so that it seems closer to the next day.
Example :DateAdd("h", vbShortDate, +24)That leaves 1/2 an hour 'till the next day here. As of this post though. |

Ok, does the following appear to make sence, I replace all the DATE's with the suggested string?
Application("HighestToDate") = 0
Application("TodaysDate") = DateAdd("h", vbShortDate, +24)
Application("VisitorsToday") = 0 |

Replace vbShortDate with just Date as well.  Put a Respose.Write at the top of your page displaying the Application("TodaysDate") and you'll get the date. Change the application variable to :Dateadd("h", vbGeneralDate, +24) ... and you'll be able to see the time and date allowing you to change the difference and check if it's working or now. |

Like this?
Sub Application_OnStart
Application("ActiveUsers") = 0
Application("HighestToDate") = 0
Application("TodaysDate") = DateAdd("h", Date, +24)
Application("VisitorsToday") = 0
Respose.Write(Application("TodaysDate"))
End Sub
Sub Session_OnStart
Session.Timeout = 20 '## minutes
Session("Start") = Now
Application.Lock
Application("ActiveUsers") = Application("ActiveUsers") + 1
if Application("ActiveUsers") > Application("HighestToDate") then
Application("HighestToDate") = Application("HighestToDate") + 1
end if
if Application("TodaysDate") = DateAdd("h", Date, +24) then
Application("VisitorsToday") = Application("VisitorsToday") + 1
else
Application("TodaysDate") = DateAdd("h", Date +24)
Application("VisitorsToday") = 1
end if
Application.UnLock
End Sub
Sub Session_OnEnd
' Decrease the active visitors count when the session ends.
Application.Lock
Application("ActiveUsers") = Application("ActiveUsers") - 1
Application.UnLock
End Sub |

Yeh, I think that should work. Just change the difference to + 3 since that is the actual time we want and all Dates to vbGeneralDate.
This will display the time as well when we Response.Write it.
If it doesn't work just add the Response.Write into your config.asp file near the bottom. |

I am working with a global.asa file here and I just found the following;
In the global.asa you can tell the application and session objects what they should do when they start and end. These instructions are placed into what are called event handlers. There are four such event handlers supported in global.asa. They're named based on their functions so logically enough they are: Application_OnStart, Application_OnEnd, Session_OnStart, and Session_OnEnd. These subroutines can contain most any asp code you want them to with a few exceptions. For example you can't use Response.Write because since global.asa is never called by a browser it naturally doesn't return anything to the browser. |

| Yeah, so try the Response.Write in the inc_header.asp, maybe next to active users script we originally added. |

eh, good idea!
inc_header.asp
Ok I tried to use Respose.Write(Application("TodaysDate")) but it did not work, I editied to the following Application("TodaysDate") and this is the full line:
" <font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """>Here is a date: " & Application("TodaysDate") & " " & "</font><br>" & vbNewLine & _
result. . .
Active Users: 4 / Visits Today: 67
Highest Active Users: 6
Here is a date: 9/28/2003
______________________________________________________________________
Now in the Global.asa I am getting very mixed up and obviously a little over my head, I am currently working with this:
Sub Application_OnStart
Application("ActiveUsers") = 0
Application("HighestToDate") = 0
Application("TodaysDate") = DateAdd("h", Date, +24)
Application("VisitorsToday") = 0
End Sub
Sub Session_OnStart
Session.Timeout = 20 '## minutes
Session("Start") = Now
Application.Lock
Application("ActiveUsers") = Application("ActiveUsers") + 1
if Application("ActiveUsers") > Application("HighestToDate") then
Application("HighestToDate") = Application("HighestToDate") + 1
end if
if Application("TodaysDate") = Dateadd("h", vbGeneralDate, +3) then
Application("VisitorsToday") = Application("VisitorsToday") + 1
else
Application("TodaysDate") = Dateadd("h", vbGeneralDate, +3)
Application("VisitorsToday") = 1
end if
Application.UnLock
End Sub
Sub Session_OnEnd
' Decrease the active visitors count when the session ends.
Application.Lock
Application("ActiveUsers") = Application("ActiveUsers") - 1
Application.UnLock
End Sub
_________________________________________________________________
As you can see above my DEVelopment board is showing a lot of users for this day, well that number is not correct, it appears the DATE never re-set at midnight or at 3am which is the time difference from me.

I think I've got the problem. The script is adding three straight hours and rounding off the minutes. 
I'll get back to you once I've got a solution. |

Gottcha problem ! Replace your global.asa with this, I have made changes which appear in red.Sub Application_OnStart
Application("ActiveUsers") = 0
Application("HighestToDate") = 0
Application("TodaysDate") = DateAdd("h",3,Now())
Application("VisitorsToday") = 0
End Sub
Sub Session_OnStart
Session.Timeout = 20 '## minutes
Session("Start") = DateAdd("h",3,Now())
Application.Lock
Application("ActiveUsers") = Application("ActiveUsers") + 1
if Application("ActiveUsers") > Application("HighestToDate") then
Application("HighestToDate") = Application("HighestToDate") + 1
end if
if Application("TodaysDate") = DateAdd("h",3,Now()) then
Application("VisitorsToday") = Application("VisitorsToday") + 1
else
Application("TodaysDate") = DateAdd("h",3,Now())
Application("VisitorsToday") = 1
end if
Application.UnLock
End Sub
Sub Session_OnEnd
' Decrease the active visitors count when the session ends.
Application.Lock
Application("ActiveUsers") = Application("ActiveUsers") - 1
Application.UnLock
End SubAnd that should be it, give it a try !
As I said the date add fuunction wasn't adding properly. I've tested that function on my server and it appears to work fine !  |

I think I can see the problem. Now() returns a full Date and Time so when it checks it with today's date because the server start and date and time were different times it makes Visitors Today = 1.Sub Application_OnStart
Application("ActiveUsers") = 0
Application("HighestToDate") = 0
Application("TodaysDate") = DateAdd("h",3,vbShortDate)
Application("VisitorsToday") = 0
End Sub
Sub Session_OnStart
Session.Timeout = 20 '## minutes
Session("Start") = DateAdd("h",3,Now())
Application.Lock
Application("ActiveUsers") = Application("ActiveUsers") + 1
if Application("ActiveUsers") > Application("HighestToDate") then
Application("HighestToDate") = Application("HighestToDate") + 1
end if
if Application("TodaysDate") = DateAdd("h",3,vbShortDate) then
Application("VisitorsToday") = Application("VisitorsToday") + 1
else
Application("TodaysDate") = DateAdd("h",3,vbShortDate)
Application("VisitorsToday") = 1
end if
Application.UnLock
End Sub
Sub Session_OnEnd
' Decrease the active visitors count when the session ends.
Application.Lock
Application("ActiveUsers") = Application("ActiveUsers") - 1
Application.UnLock
End SubSorry that problem was my fault. |
