Really connected users

[LuigiMdg]

Hello,
on my forum you can watch a specific channel streamed..
Would it be possible to visualize how many users are really connected to it?
Because as I understand it, if they have not done an operation in the last 5 minutes will be displayed as disconnected, while they are probably watching the channel.. Right?

As core phpBB does not have "channels" then this is either an extension or some custom coding, so your question would be better asked at the place where you obtained this code.

It is a simple popup with channel in streaming.. But the 'problem' is not on the channel.. I would simply like users to continue to be viewed as connected, because under the popup with the streaming channel, the forum page remains opened..
I was thinking of inserting a small piece of code in the forum that updates the page every 300 seconds for example.. But I was wondering if there could be a more professional solution

But it is not core phpBB so nobody here knows what the code is or what it is doing.

I wrote a mod back in 2.0 that did that. It had an ajax that refreshed once per minute.

I think this type of thing is what you are looking for. Your "channel" being an external page is really irrelevant. What you are looking for is a "keep-alive" in the phpBB board page that is being left open.

Exactly..!
It's what I was trying to make clear to david63, but my english is apparently very poor..!
What is the name of the extension?
Or if you can directly give me the ajax code that interests me, then I can easily find the landing page from there

It was a mod back in 2.0. I doubt it could be applied directly to 3.2.

[LuigiMdg]

Yes.. Only after I answered you I understood the message better..
I have to try to call the who's online, sending the variable of the page where the user is located.
Now I do some tests but I see it hard..!

I have to try to call the who's online,

No. You just have to renew the user's session. That all all the "who's online" is.
My old mod simply started up a blank page in ajax mode, setting the session parameter that said to skip updating the user's page.

[LuigiMdg]

II've found a very very simple solution.. I've used the function session_create renewed every 300 seconds

That should work, depending on how you are implementing it. Set it for less than 300 seconds though, if your online time is 5 minutes. My mod used 61 seconds to avoid the 1-minute limit in the session storing routine.

This is the JS:

Code: Select all

	var interval = 250000; //1000 = 1 second
	function doAjax() {
		$.ajax({
			type: 'POST',
			url: 'refresh_session.php',
			data: $(this).serialize(),
			dataType: 'json',
			success: function (data) {
                    
                },
                complete: function (data) {
                    setTimeout(doAjax, interval);
                }
            });
	}
	setTimeout(doAjax, interval);
