Hey there
Yet again many changes to www.myforum.dk To many to mention, so go have a look for yourself
User:testuser
Pass:testuser
active_users.asp I have searched the forum for anything similar to the 'MOD' i have made, but without luck. It shows the country of origin for visitors, with a small flag. Mouseover the flag to see the name of the country and ip.
Well, just wanted to show you, as I have not seen anything similar elsewhere.

Nice mod! How do you determine the country? Is it based on a DNS query?<

Well, it's actually determined by IP, which is fairly easy to get from visitors. All ip's belong to a specific region or country.
IP is then converted to Long-IP with a formula, then it looks in DB for country or region with that number.
Each number then corresponds to a name e.g. DENMARK.
Then it picks the flag for that country and displays it.
Hmm kinda hard to explain
I only tried this with MSSQL, but it will work on mysql as well.

FYI IP ranges although generally country specific, may not necessarily indicate the actual country of the visitor as some ISP's assign IP's which may not relate to the users physical location (AOL is a classic example)<

I have 2 members in France whose IP traces to Germany because thier ISP is Deutsche Telekom AG which seems to have subsidiaries in several countries.<

Yea well, it's not a bulletproof addition.
I guess if several users from different regions logged in with my 'testuser', it would not show the correct country.
For a short period, I have enabled active users for non-members. Check to see if your flag is right
I'm happy if I can get most of them right, so prove me wrong...
-Bobby, have your 2 members visit, to check if their flag is the right one.<
