Re: Users Currently Online
If it is failing, either there is something wrong with your textpattern installation (not likely if other plugins can be installed), or the mem_online_users.txt file that you downloaded is corrupt which is preventing textpattern from decoding the base64 properly and causing problems. Redownload the plugin and try again.

Re: Users Currently Online
I just installed it, on RC5, no problems.
You downloaded from here:
http://manfre.net/files/22
and the file is titled:
mem_online_users.txt
and it’s size is:
4.12kb
right?
Just ideas.

Re: Users Currently Online
Try installing this plugin. It’s a place holder plugin that should only create the plugin entry in Textpattern. It contains no code, and almost no documentation. If this works, then I’ll post the plugin code for you to paste in from the plugin edit page.

Re: Users Currently Online
I have 3 sites using the mem_online_users plug-in and have started experiencing the sites going down quite frequently. My host finally narrowed it down to all 3 of these sites having this plug-in in common. Here is what they said:
“There is a query on your website that is causing httpd to timeout before mysql can return data. You currently have over 100 of the following type of query:
select COUNT as OnlineUsers from `txp_log` where (UNIX_TIMESTAMP(time) >= 1165967964)
You should review your code and find out where that query is coming from exactly. This is a problem with either the amount of data to be sorted or with the query itself. “
So, for now, I’ve disabled this plug-in, but my clients really want this capability on their sites. Any input?
Thanks!

Re: Users Currently Online
You currently have over 100…
That means:
- You are using the tag, per page, more than you should be. You need to do a tag trace and find out where you’re using it and trim it back to only one use per page.
- If you’ve got a lot of online users at any given time, you need to greatly reduce the timeout number.

Re: Users Currently Online
Thanks so much, Mary! Has anyone told you how awesome that you are yet today?
I’ve uploaded my tag trace here since it is so long.
I only see the OnlineUsers tag used once on the page, but I’m not that in-depth with this code.
I didn’t put a time-out choice in the tag, leaving it at the default of 600, which the plug-in help says is 10 minutes.
Any suggestions and help is, as always, GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks again.

Re: Users Currently Online
Interesting.
I can see nothing wrong in the SQL query itself. If your default page is like the rest, then you’re not over-using it (yep, just used once on that one); should double-check the rest of your pages, though – you know what to look for now. :)
What’s the setting you are using for your logs (in the admin prefs)?
