Mod Name / Version: Online User Info for 6.5

Description: What this will do is allow you to view the user agent string and referer information of an anonymous user provided there is any. If there is referer information an icon will be displayed that provides a link to the location the anonymous user came from. The referer information is also displayed in the "alt" display of the icon by mousing over it. User agent information is intersting as you can see if it's a google bot browsing your site or whatnot. (not always though)

FYI
The mouseover info isn't displaying when using FireFox but it works in IE. I havent tried any other browsers

Does Firefox support the title tag?
The title tag should be compliant in all browsers.

Hi Josh, I can answer this one. For images, both ALT _and_ TITLE tags need to be included



It was missing the TITLE tag in this instance.

Thanks Twisty-which script is that in do you know by chance?

online.php

I just re-installed this because of 6.5 upgrade and its looking borked.

Here is what Im seeing. I get no info when I hover over them and there is no extra info displayed??

I'd check the instructions. I know this works in 6.5 as I'm using it on a dozen or so boards. So I'm pretty sure the instructions are accurate. You may have missed a step in ubbt.inc.php

I noticed in the change log for 6.5.1, they mention that a query has been optimized in the online.php script. Will that affect this mod?

Works fine in 6.5.1

It does not work on mine for some reason.

I have the same problem as DrChaos, my Whos Online looks exactly the same as the picture. I have been through the instructions again and can't find anything wrong.

DrChaos, did you find a fix?

looks like maybe the image was uploaded in ascii mode? distorting the pic.

just an idea

I must have goofed 6.5.1

got this error when i did a who's online
Parse error: parse error, unexpected '{' in /homepages/1/d118328893/htdocs/clubadventist/ubbtreads/online.php on line 89

any ideas??

How does Google read private messages????

From top to bottom

I am sure, but how to the spiders access those???

Does this allow only admins to see the user agent or can everyone see. If it's a googlebot, I would prefer the regular user not knowing that it is, implying they are just anonymous visitiors.

Never mind. I just looked at the whos online here and it appears this mod is being used, and I as a normal user can see the user agent.
