Site info block - (H) what does that mean?

There is a user on my site right now and it says their name is: test (H)

I don't have a user in my member list with that name and have never seen the (H) thing before. What does this mean?

If you are using the block from this site it means he has chosen the option to be hidden. Since you are an admin you can see his name and the H Everyone else will not even see his name. The option can be chosen in the members account

Ok, but his name is coming up as "Guest" I don't have a member in the memberlist with that name.

Looks like you have someone that is not registered... hmmm not sure about that.

Maybe if a registered member remains hidden, then by default their name would pop up as "Guest" to the admin? I don't, just kinda weird. I'll review all my members to see which ones have selected "hidden"

No I have a registered member who is hidden and to the Admin it shows his name and then (H) after it... sounds like a non-registered guest to me.

another thing is have you ever deleted a member or had to redo your sql database for this will show up if the user has been to your site before and still has the cookie from the last time they logged in.

Ok, how is that possible? And how can they select to be hidden?

There should be no way that you see someone named 'Guest' as a hidden member unless that user exists. If that is still happening, please zip your nuke_users and nuke_sessions tables and send them to me. Use phpMyAdmin and issue this query

Code:

select * from nuke_users where username='guest';

You do not need to capitalize guest because MySQL always does case insensitive searches. Did it bring back anything?

Not to sure you're explaining yourself right here. Unless the user record exists in the database, the cookie will not be valid and will not show as a member.

Here's what came back: SQL-query :

SELECT *
FROM nuke_users
WHERE username = 'guest' LIMIT 0 , 30

Is there still a Guest entry showing Hidden?

Posted: Thu Oct 02, 2003 4:45 pm

no, its gone

Posted: Thu Oct 02, 2003 4:54 pm

If it returns, please run that query again. Thanks.

This is what i was referring. When i installed nuke 6.9 and was having problems, I had about 20 registered users. Then i decided to downgrade to nuke 6.7, When I did this i wiped out the database and started with a clean install. When the users that were already users from the old site still had the cookie from the old site and they showed up on the info blcok with and (H) next to their names. When i had theme delete their cookies and clear their cache they were fine. Understand that it did take the 200 seconds for their username to disappear for that is what i have the $past = time()-300; set to.
Thanks

Ahhh. OK, I see how that could happen. Thanks for clearing it up for me!

Raven,

Is there any way I can hide the IP addresses shown for each anonymous user? I'd prefer it not to show any Ip's in order to save space on the left column - similar to the way you have it.

There are 4 admin setting controls at the top of the block script that control that. Just read the comment block Laughing

Hmmm...

I've already checked that but failed to see it...

Here's the content of the first 4 lines in the block file:

/* Added user_avatar - 18 July 2003 Gaylen Fraley */
/* website http://www.gaylenandmargie.com/phpwebsite

Could it be I;ve got an older version ?
