Totally weird...no matter how many people login, the status never reflects it. The Who's Online block shows x numberr of guests, and the info next to my avatar in the forum says offline, even right after I post in the forum.

Somehow, it's not getting the message in somewhere central which is affecting plugin recognition of user status as well.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the assistance.

The issue is the same in both FireFox and IE, and on multiple PC's, so it's not related to my individual cookie setting. Additionally, the config shows the correct url:

http://dalpa.us/community/

PHP Formatted Code
$_CONF['site_url']          = 'http://dalpa.us/community';


Any other suggestions?

If you care to, here is a test login:

usr: testguy
pwd: tester

Seems to be working fine for me. I logged in using Firefox and cruised around the site and also seen the testguy in the logged in area. I did not post or anything, as it looked like a professional site.

Confused:

Weird. I see myself logged in fine here, in the whos online box, and here in the forum, so I would think my browser settings are cool for GL. Any other suggestions on things I might check for myself?

I'm glad to hear it seems to work for others, though... Mr. Green

Thanks, Max.

OK, even weirder, when I login as testguy, it works. Logging in as the admin does not.

Chris,

One of the features of Geeklog is that a user can hide the fact that they are online. Under My Account, Privacy tab, there is an option for Show Online Status:, if this is not checked, then the user will not show in the Who's Online block. Instead, they will show as a guest user.

You might want to check how your account is setup, that may explain why you don't normally show up in the Who's Online block.

Thanks!
Mark

God, figures it's something so simple. In my defense, though, this is a template bug. Apparently, ClearBlue doesn't display a 'Privacy' Tab in user options. I shortcutted it by editing 'showonline' in the user_pref table of the db. I see now all other users will default to 1, and with no option to change it, will stay that way.

Thanks Mark and Max.

Interesting. I'll check that out and get a fix out for the archive

Edit
I just seen your problem and you will need to copy over from the professional theme the profiles and users and preferences directories to make that work. I think that'll do it. If not, let us know. Make sure you backup those directories first.

Ha! I didn't even know that one was yours. Mr. Green

When you make the fix, will you post the code change? I have made some fairly heavy modifications, and would rather just add your changes to my source then update the entire file set.

And we have a winner.

I noticed in a few things along the way (although I've lost track now) I had to bring files over from Professional. I didn't think to do so here.

Thanks, IronMax. Your tabbed setup on the horizontal menu, and the article layout on the front page are the reasons I chose your template to start from. I appreciate your efforts.

Chris,

If you want, you can also copy over the navbar directory from the pro theme as well to get the java menu's in the theme.

Opps...this definitely needs an update then...I'll post a new archive when done. Didn't realize it was this far out. Took a look at the demo version and yep...needs an update.

Edit

Okay, have a look at the demo version and tell me if you see the java menu's in My Account. Thats what I was referring to. All you needed was the Users, Profiles, preferences, and navbar directories copied over to make it work.
