I'm not sure if it's not working properly or if the lights aren't labelled correctly - I'm getting a dark green when someone is active but with nothing in the cart...and when I do a test and put something in my own cart - that's green too.

Sheepo,

The cart code depends on session data. Is your session data stored in mySQL or in a file? I've only tested it for mySQL. The code I used was cut and paste from some other source.

100asa,

There are some resource files and some additional code in the other whos online contrib. You need to get that contrib and read it thoroughly.

My intent was to show where the Flag code needed to be inserted to get the flags in the table but not to fully integrate the Flag code. I did this because there was no consensus on whether people wanted flags or not but I knew people who wanted them would then be asking where to put the code. Sorry if it added more confusion then help.

I have a quick question. The other Who's online that I was using, automatically droped the person that was not active after 15 minutes. Now, the timer also was counting up to 15 minutes.

My question is just that - How long does an inactive session (bot or otherwise) stay on the page?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Joel,

Active is 0 - 3 minutes.
Inactive is 3 - 15 minutes.
15 minutes is deleted from the table.

There are 2 variables in the code, one set to 180 (3 minutes) and one set to 900 (15 minutes). These can be easily changed when you find them. I may move them up top in the future...

I love all your ideas and will be extremely grateful to you for all you are doing to enhance this tool.

Since you know what you are doing, I'm going to stop trying to get my red/green lights to work in my code and wait for your upgrade.   

Is it ready yet??? <just kidding>

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It's ready!

The flags sound fun but aren't too important.

As to the lights all I'd ask is that the difference between light and dark is pronounced enough being one of the many with red/green colour blindness   Failing that making the colours totally different would get around it ie red/yellow red/blue yellow/blue etc etc. A silly little handicap but one that a lot of people have got 

That said it'd be easy enough to make a small tweak myself and change the colour if need be. It's the rest of the code someone with my limited abilities struggles with So just being released in whatever flavour would be fine.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Tony,

Let me know how the colors work. I added alt text. Also, with Green as active and Red as inactive, and the entries sorted by last click, the Green and Blue lights should be at the top and the Yellow and Red lights should be at the bottom. That might help differentiate.

Urm - dunno about the session data. How can I check?

Carts that are empty and carts that are full are all green...only colours I see is green, yellow and white (and no - I'm not colour blind like Tipsy

Any suggestions?

Sheepo,

Your catalog/includes/configure.php sets the session storage. It's down at the bottom near the database entries. Also, what version of osC are you using?

About the sessions: I remember I've changed something to the original code concering sessions to make it work with my own cart, but I didn't really understand this part so.....

I will try to take another look at it

Hey there,
I'm afraid I'm joining the "Who's Online Enhancement 1.5" party a little late. To initially install this for the first time, is all I have to do is download the "Who'sOnlineEnhancement1.5 Folder" and make the changes documented there... or do I have to download prior versions and add code from each release up to 1.5?

Thanks!
BD

[medvid]

BD,

It's written as a drop in. 1.5 has all of the necessary files you need (except for the country flags). Of course, that will overwrite any other custom work you've done prior. 1.4 changes are marked with EEM comments. 1.5 changes are marked with WOL 1.5 comments.

There are no "find this line and change it to this" type of directions.

[Sheepish]

Looking at my config file...it's

define('STORE_SESSIONS', ''); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

Is it possible to change to mysql without shagging things?

As to the version of osc - I use the CRELoaded version 6.042...

Sheepo,

I'm not an expert but my guess is that if you change it, then current, on-line shoppers will get a new sessionID which will disconnect them from their carts. That's a guess but I'd wait til activity has died down and then make the switch.

Modding that one line should be all you need to switch the session storage. It is actually recommended as a more secure, reliable session storage. With that said, that may or may not fix the status lights

OK. I'll try it on my "test" site and see how it goes. Live testing is not good for meek little sheep like me

Paul,

Thanks. Everything else you sent me is working great! I appreciate everything you're doing. If you do find something, post here or e-mail me directly, either is fine.

Thanks,

That seems a bit better...just went to mysql and the colours are nice and pretty.

So, it seems we have a known issue. In v1.5, the status lights ONLY work with sessions stored in mySQL.

Please post any other issues or questions as they arise.

Thanks.

Ok, for some reason, I can't get the icon_status_white.gif file to save into my folder.

Is there anyone else having that problem? Does anyone have a solution?

The colours are more than fine for me - thanks. Although my colour blindness is only mild compared to many I think most will be OK. The 'tones' are different enough for them to be easily recognized no matter what the colour looks like to someone

Thanks again.

Question of time...

Currently, from what I can see, it is set up to be on EST. Now, I live in Atlantic Canada & would like to see it listed in AST. Where do I look to change that?
