5 min online status - decrease to 1 min?

[dekoven]

I'd like my forum to show users as offline after 1 minute instead of 5. How can I achieve this?

So anyone who is reading a long post will show as offline?

Javascript updater in the page header. Updates every minute. That's why I want to get rid of the silly 5 minute timestamp as now they show up as online when they're really not.

Note that the time is in seconds. Replace "XXX" with new time
Open {root}/viewonline.php
Find:

Code: Select all

AND s.session_time >= ".( time() - 120 ) . "

Replace with:

Code: Select all

AND s.session_time >= ".( time() - XXX ) . "

Open {root}/admin/index.php
Find:

Code: Select all

AND u.user_session_time >= " . ( time() - 120 ) . "

Replace with:

Code: Select all

AND u.user_session_time >= " . ( time() - XXX ) . "

Find:

Code: Select all

AND session_time >= " . ( time() - 120 ) . "

Replace with:

Code: Select all

AND session_time >= " . ( time() - xxx ) . "

Open {root}/includes/page_header.php
Find:

Code: Select all

AND s.session_time >= ".( time() - 120 ) . "

Replace with:

Code: Select all

AND s.session_time >= ".( time() - XXX ) . "

Open {root}/language/lang_english/lang_main.php
Find:

Code: Select all

$lang['Online_explain'] = 'This data is based on users active over the past five minutes';

Replace with:

Code: Select all

$lang['Online_explain'] = 'This data is based on users active over the past minute';

Thanks! Pretty simple, though I probably wouldn't have been able to find all those different places to change the timeout by my self.

Maybe this could be put in a variable in the configuration?
