View/Hide Online Status Default

New users are still defaulting to HIDE Online Status. How can I make the default otherwise?

RN 2.4.0.1

In Your_Account/public/new_finish.php find

Code:

$user_allow_viewonline = (isset($user_allow_viewonline)) ? intval($user_allow_viewonline) : 0;

and change the 0 to a 1 and that should do it.

Not a problem, so long as the new server has propagated the DNS to your area, it's still going - www.ufaq.org

Hmm, you're still hidden.

Well, put this

Code:

$user_allow_viewonline = '1';

in new_finish.php before

Code:

$sql = 'INSERT INTO ' . $user_prefix . '_users '

and everyone that registers will be set to view online.

Must be the fact that although RN 2.4.0.1 files were loaded that some of the files had to be overwritten because of configuration issues from the old site. There were several tables that were imported over existing tables as well. Not gonna lose any sleep over it nonetheless. I can make do with the cake minus a little icing. Wink

Or you could put

Code:

 if (!isset($user_allow_viewonline)) {


$user_allow_viewonline = '1';


}

in there so if it is not set, the default will be set to view.

Both didn't work, still (H) .. Something else is blocking/overriding that setting, could be anywhere I made previous changes on the old site. Gonna be a little too difficult to ferret that out IMHO, so thanks.

Interesting note ...

The line you mentioned to edit in the first reply was there but in the new_finish.php from RN 2.4.0.1 is not there. File date is 11/2009 in the distro.

That line IS in the file that is loaded on the new site .. puzzle

At any rate the changes suggested don't work in either new finish file.

Never mind .. the line IS there after I re-extracted the distro. Dunno how I changed it beacause the filedate is 11/19/2009. But it still doesn't work ..

That is weird. The first one I mentioned should have done it unless it is already being set in one of the other new_ files in the public folder. Maybe someone else knows more about what may be going on. Sorry dad.

If anyone has the extra time then have at it, otherwise we can do as-is for now, no biggie.

nuken, it is already set. I think is coming from the form submitting the data. Be that new_user.php or which ever.

In the table: view_online = 0 for new users, now all I have to figure out is what is telling it to set to "0". The new_finish.php is set to "1". Must be somewhere else then. I have it disabled in the user configuration under Default Fields. But it still defaults to "0".

I thought so to Palbin, but it looks like if it is disabled in edit users it does not send the hidden fields for the user_allow_viewonline. I must be missing something.

hi nuken. i got the same problem after i install your "Tricked Out Login module. then after i check this post i found that in ur original code

Code:

$user_allow_viewonline = (isset($user_allow_viewonline)) ? intval($user_allow_viewonline) :

is set to "0". just thought i should let you know. and hey thanks for that great module.

Thank you. Did you find the install instructions helpful with the Janrain configuration?

Edit:

Also, are you using RavenNuke 2.40.01? The user being hidden issue was fixed in that release. Testing the mod in 2.40.01 it work fine. Just wondering if you may be using 2.40.00?

Posted: Fri Aug 20, 2010 7:23 pm

yes it was very useful. and yes im suing 2.40.00. did lot of modifications so didnt update it to ravennuke 2.40.01. will do after a while. thanks for all ur great modules.
