Users staying "Online Now" too long

Hi all,

When a user log out of my site, it appears their handle stay in the "Online Now" section of the User Info block much, much too long. Is there any way I can make so when my users log out, then they disappear from the Online Now field?

Thanks!
Oy.

oyjord, sorry for the delay. I want to <bump> this thread for you to try and get you an answer. Unfortunately, I must leave the boards until tomorrow...

oyjord, I am not certain about this, but you might try messing around with the following code in mainfile.php:

=== FIND CODE ===

Code:




function online() {


    global $nsnst_const, $user, $cookie, $prefix, $db;


    if(!file_exists('includes/nukesentinel.php')) {


        $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];


    } else {


        $ip = $nsnst_const['remote_ip'];


    }


    $guest = 0;


    if (is_user($user)) {


        cookiedecode($user);


        $uname = $cookie[1];


        if (!isset($uname)) {


            $uname = $ip;


            $guest = 1;


        }


    } else {


        $uname = $ip;


        $guest = 1;


    }


    $past = time()-3600;


    $sql = 'DELETE FROM '.$prefix.'_session WHERE time < \''.$past.'\'';


    $db->sql_query($sql);


    $sql = 'SELECT time FROM '.$prefix.'_session WHERE uname=\''.$uname.'\'';


    $result = $db->sql_query($sql);


    $ctime = time();


    if (!empty($uname)) {


        $uname = substr($uname, 0,25);


        $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result);


        if ($row) {


            $db->sql_query('UPDATE '.$prefix.'_session SET uname=\''.$uname.'\', time=\''.$ctime.'\', host_addr=\''.$ip.'\', guest=\''.$guest.'\' WHERE uname=\''.$uname.'\'');


        } else {


            $db->sql_query('INSERT INTO '.$prefix.'_session (uname, time, host_addr, guest) VALUES (\''.$uname.'\', \''.$ctime.'\', \''.$ip.'\', \''.$guest.'\')');


        }


    }


}

Take a look especially at this line here:

$past = time()-3600;

I believe changing that 3600, which is 60 minutes.

Sorry, though, don't know what other ramifications this could have as I've never tried changing it and don't have time to search through the code for where else this is used.

Thanks for the reply! No harm in trying. I'll give it a go and report back.
