Whos Online Script

[ALITTLEweird1]

Since e-rice updated its servers, my Geolite file isn't updating by itself like it use too. How do you update this file? It shows on my page that a update is available. Thanks.

Hi Mark, had the same problem on my site, I just downloaded the gz file to desktop, used WinZip to unzip, and uploaded the .dat file to my site. Everything is great again, but my cron script won't do the auto update now either since the server upgrades.

See attached screen cap from when I tried running manually.

Hope there is a fix for this.

George, your folder does not have permissions for file write, you need to set permissions or ownership correctly.

I'm having an issue after porting my existing site to a Mac Mini in preparation to go live...

Who's online works, except the maps don't display ... the pins do but not the worldmap images.

In trying to diagnose the problem, I get this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function imageTTFBbox() in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/wx/wo-worldmap.php on line 295

When viewing this url http://wx.theshackbythebeach.com:9191/wx/wo-worldmap.php?time=15&units=minutes&map=1&pin=1&pins=off&text=on&textcolor=000000&textshadow=FFFFFF&textalign=cb&ul_lat=0&ul_lon=0&lr_lat=360&lr_lon=180&offset_x=0&offset_y=0&type=png

Googling the problem, the apache version loaded into Snow leopard Server doesn't have support for "freetype" and its very tricky (for me anyway) to re-compile apache with freetye included.

I has wondering if there is an alternative to using imageTTFBbox() as this requires freetpe in apache enabled?
Thanks

Look at the bottom of this file:
include-whos-online-settings.php

comment out this setting
$C['map_text_font']
or was it already commented out?

Many thanks, that fixed it!!! I would never have been able to work that out

Hi there,

I have this excellent script running in this location :- http://www.dugglenet.org/whos-online/whos-online24.php

BUT - it doesn't display non-English characters correctly, so umlauts etc etc are substituted - the display often looks a bit untidy.

e.g.

 Fürth in Germany is shown as 'F�rth, DE'

Does anyone know a solution for this ?

My page is set with the utf-8 coding so I thought it would be okay, but it isn't ....

Many Thanks, Simon

Great stuff!..

How do you center the images??

I had an issue making the mysql tables with the whos-online.sql.txt script.

The script threw errors and complained about the lines that start:

TYPE=MyISAM

This worked:

ENGINE=MyISAM
