User(s) Online

[Hendrick2]

I've looked almost everywhere for an easy User(s) online code. I've gotten to page 5 in both Yahoo and Google search. I'm looking for a simple code for user(s) online. Nothing fance at all, just # User(s) Online. My main problem is this...

I want it to be for a certian page, but the page has a long URL. Most codes only accept the main pages, like http://www.javascriptsource.com/, but wouldn't accept a specif page, like http://javascript.internet.com/games/arrange.html The page is somewhat of a post in a message board, but not quite. And the last thing that makes it difficult is I need to it be easy to change the page that the User(s) online checks. I can't/don't want to use FTP or mySQL Database. It's part of a larger code, so therefor I can't make everyone use a FTP or mySQL Database.

I REALLY hope this is possiable.

Thanks.

That requires something running on the server and it requires that something to understand the concept of sessions.

But look here:

I just can't insert a long url, which is making this whole code hard to find.


I'll be willing to host a file(s), I just don't everyone who uses this code, to have to host one. It's part of a larger code.

Hit counters and "current users" counters are completely different concepts. Hit counters are easier but still require at least a little CGI on the server unless you want to do access log analysis.

My bad, I gave you the wrong link, try here:

http://www.online-users.info/
And once again "I just can't insert a long url, which is making this whole code hard to find."

Ok, I see the link you're talking about but I don't understand your "can't insert a long url" issue. Can you state it some other way or clarify your meaning?

That won't work. The image is a broken link. That site there is just a test for the code.

[ray326]

I just pasted the above into a test page in HTML-kit, previewed it and it worked fine for me. The result was an anchor with the text "1 user online", not an image.

[Hendrick2]

But what happens is it always shows 1 user online, and never changes. Even when theres two.

You could try www.charlierobot.com it shows that information as well as much more for statistical purposes.

[Hendrick2]

No, I just need a simple code where I change the url, and it works for the new site.

Someone where I found a perfect example. It was an image, and the image broke with the long url...

haha yer good idea....... right

[Sheldon]

that code says one user online no matter what url you put in.

here (http://www.spoono.com/php/tutorials/tutorial.php?id=16) is a php/mysql script


As far as i know, there is NO WAY to do it without some kind of SEVER SIDE programming. Else ask in the JS forum
