SSI function logOnline() - dosent work as advertised!

[Gobo]

hi

ok i included this

<?php
include "./forum/SSI.php";
ssi_logOnline();
?>

on my custom pages of my site (not part of the forum)

isnt this function supposed to count ALL visitors even on custom pages?

but i noticed it DOSENT

because I placed the ssi_logOnline() and ssi_whosOnline() together in a file and they show the same stats no matter how many people are on the custom pages

The reason I know thre are users on the custom pages is becuase I asked some friends to go there and stay there so i coud test this out.

But the stats are exactly the same! for both functions!

what am i doing wrong here?

or have i completely misunderstood the logOnline() function?

thanks.

The functions will include anyone who has logged into the database, regardless of what page they are currently on I believe.

With that said, your page should have the absolute path to your SSI.php file, like so:

Code Select Expand


<php
require("/home/virtual/site45/fst/var/www/html/forums/SSI.php");
?>


You can find the absolute path by going into your admin panel, and going to Server Settings.  Look at the bottom for "SMF Directory"

You also need to place the include right at the very to of your page.

so it wont count guests who are browsing the custom pages?

any way to do that?

ill also try the full path method u suggested

but i hope it can count ALL people (guests and users) browsing the site - or else it would be a bummer

Yes, ssi_logOnline() will log guests who are browsing the page.
