$context[\\\'current_action\\\'] and logged time

[asmith]

hey guys

I have non-forum pages, SSI.php included.

I've checked if someone is visitign page x.html , the forum says he is viewing the index board of the site.
How can i make it so that the forum says he is visiting x.html ?

I played a little with $context['current_action'] on the x.html , before and after including SSI ,But has no success.


same with total time logged. When the user is in the x.html page, he total time logged won't increase, How can i achieve that too?

Thanks

SMF 1.1.6

To make forum to count the SSI page as online too, add this code after you include SSI.php:

writeLog();

To make forum to recognize where you are, add this code before you include SSI.php:

$_GET['action'] = 'my_page';

Then add this at the end of your Who.template.php file:

Code Select Expand

$txt['whoall_my_page] = 'He\'s viewing my page.';

Thanks for replying man,  I got the members visiting pages right.

But total time logged still doesn't work.

I added writeLog(); after SSI being included, and stayed in some pages for like 2-3 mins , and refreshed, still no change, any idea?

I see, total time online won't increase if you are using SSI.

Subs.php

Find:

Code Select Expand

if (SMF != 'SSI' && !empty($user_info['last_login']) && $user_info['last_login'] < time() - 60)

Replace:

Code Select Expand

if (!empty($user_info['last_login']) && $user_info['last_login'] < time() - 60)

Do not forget this edit, you may need to take it back for upgrades.

[asmith]

it worked! I cannot believe it

Thanks man, Don't know how to thank you, Thanks A TON!

Great advice Sinan! I've copied notes from this topic and I'm sure I'm going to need it before long.

Just wondering if this script is good for use in SMF V2?

[[SiNaN]]

It should be.

[asmith]

seems I got a problem with "who's online"  .

my non forum files work like this :

index.php?file=file1 

so I have $_GET['file'] .
I've tested it, it works WHEN there's no $_GET variable set, meaning when I'm on my home page where there's no $_GET variable it works,

BUT when i'm in the index.php?file=file1 , it says I'm on index of forum page which means it kinda has been disabled.

What's wrong with it?

Would having a single action for all SSI pages work for you?

[asmith]

unfortunately no. 
I have a lot of SSI pages. That their $_GET['action'] are all different.

What should I ? I'll go down that road, just tell me

[[SiNaN]]

Well, let's try this.

Subs.php

Find:

Code Select Expand

function writeLog($force = false)

Replace:

Code Select Expand

function writeLog($force = false, $ssi_action = null)

Find:

Code Select Expand

$serialized = $_GET + array('USER_AGENT' => $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);

Replace:

Code Select Expand

$serialized = $_GET + array('USER_AGENT' => $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
if (!empty($ssi_action))
$serialized['action'] = $ssi_action;

Then in your SSI included file, use writeLog(false, 'action_you_want_to_be_save'); instead of just writeLog();. Example: writeLog(false, 'my_page);

[asmith]

It worked ! FINALLY ! I don't know what to say

just to sum it up for others :

do exactly as [SiNaN] said. but remember the  $_GET['action'] = 'my_page'; and the $txt['whoall_my_pages'] = 'He\'s viewing the page';

must be in their places still.

[SiNaN], Dont' know how to thank you. It was driving me crazy!
Thanks!

P.S  (I promise it is the last one ) If a page has its own variable,for example , 
we are both visiting  "edit" page and you are editing "A" team stat, I'm editing "B" team stat. something like the way forum do wit topics .

I want it to say : SiNaN is editing "A" team stat.
                           Asmith is editing "B" team stat.

how should I pass "A" or "B" to $txt variable? something to do with those %s  ?

[[SiNaN]]

This might work:

Who.php

Find:

Code Select Expand

// An action any old fellow can look at. (if ['whoall_' . $action] exists, we know everyone can see it.)

Replace:

Code Select Expand

elseif (substr($actions['action'], 0, 8) == 'my_page_')
$data[$k] = sprintf($txt['whoall_my_page'], substr($actions['action'], 8));
// An action any old fellow can look at. (if ['whoall_' . $action] exists, we know everyone can see it.)

Then you text string will be:

Code Select Expand

$txt['whoall_my_page'] = 'Editing "%s" team stats.';

When you set the action in SSI, set you should set it as; my_page_{team_name}

Example:

$_GET['action'] = 'my_page_A';

If you want to change 'my_page' part, you should modify the codes accordingly.

[asmith]

Got nothing to say!

You're awsome!
btw congrats on your new nick, finally got rid of 'Extremely Depressed' ? 

[[SiNaN]]

Well, not really; trying to get along with it.

Glad that I could help and thanks.

[asmith]

Came up with a new question lol this thread can never get closed !

emm does this thing we did to other pages, has any effect on "who's viewing this page" ?
You know when viewing a topic on the top it is written "asmith and 4 guests are viewing this topic" (If this option is turned on in admin of course)

How can I put it on my non-forum pages?   
I think the changes we did has something to do with this.

any idea?

[[SiNaN]]

You mean this causes a problem with that function? I don't think so.
