[Stable v1.0.7] Who's Online module count wrong!

12.04.2004, 18:57

My site usually has about 50 guests and 20 members online. After i upgrade my site's portal, Mambo 4.5 Stable v1.0.0, to v1.0.7, this new version's `Who's Online` module has always counted near to 300 guests and over 130 members online (please take a look at my site http://my-juju.com). I think this module has a bug in its code because while my homepage display a large amount of user like that, the users counted display in the Mambo's administrator page of my site is only near to 70 online users. And finally, when i logged out of the administrator section to return to my homepage, the module has counted right as in administrator page!
Need any idea to fix this issue! Thanks very much!

I didn't see such ridiculous numbers at the moment I viewed your page. Are you still experiencing this issue?

I had fixed this issue yesterday! The problem is i upgrade my Mambo 4.5 Stable from v1.0.0 to v1.0.7 by overwrote all files except the configuration file so the session lifetime is still set to 43200 while it should to be set to 900 in v1.0.7!
Many thanks for your reply!

I have same problem here...
By the way, Hit Counter is wrong too? 'cause mine is... it really adds what Who's Online shows.

Hi, have you changed the session lifetime setting in `configuration.php` to 900?

Edi · 15.04.2004, 15:01

Yes.
By the way, what is the optimal setting for session lifetime? 900?

Yes, just use 900 as it is the default setting for session lifetime in v1.0.7!
