Is it me or did something change because right before I did the update, I could see who was logged in, who is online using the conditional as shown at the bottom of the doc page.

Now, I only see myself logged in as the system admin.

I tested by logging in as another general user in another browser and this general user does not show up.

Note. This was working before yesterday. Strange.

Note 2. I did turn on template caching. But I’ve since turned it off and emptied cache.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

No, the statistics module should work as before. Yes, it might be caching issue. Do you’ve got a link to your site?

The site is not live yet.
I did turn off the caching on the templates. I emptied cache folder via ftp. so… hmm

So, it’s working now, or not?

not working

Are you using any other caching mechanisms? What’s the code you are using to display online members?

ok, I’m going to go check
be back shortly

Just keep us in the loop 😊 Thanks.

I have this code on another site 1.6.7 March build and it works.

But it doesn’t work on this May build site.

{if member_group == "1"}
{exp:stats}
     {if member_names}
          Online: 
          {member_names  backspace='6'}
               <a href="http://{member_path=member/index}">{name}</a> 
          {/member_names}
          
     {/if}
{/exp:stats}
{/if}

I’ve turned off all template caching. This code is in the footer template. Neither the calling template nor the embed template are cached. I’ve put the code into another template just for kicks so it is not embedded, and it still doesn’t show the others online.

I know it is silly, but could you try it?

jo22,

I can confirm that your code works on the May build. Is the general user you tested with part of the ‘member’ group?

Try clearing all your cookies for the second browser you are testing with the other user and login again.

Thanks guys.

John, the other users I’ve tried are another super admin user and a user that is an ‘editor’ member.

I’ve tried again with clearing the cookies also on the second browser which is on another computer.

What else should I try/look at?

Your help is much appreciated.

{if member_group == "1"}

You have conditional in there to just show if you are a SuperAdmin. That’s why other members aren’t “seeing” the code.

Yes, I have the conditional there, that only SuperAdmins Member Group should see who else is online. None of other member groups will see who is online. That would be me—that I should see other people online.

So, on the other computer/other browser, I’m logged in as other people.

On this machine, I want to see other people logged in—I don’t see them. I only see me, one of the super admins.

I know this is really weird—this was all working a day or two ago.

Try some reduced code, removing the conditionals from the template, eg, making the template as simple as possible. Again, make sure to clear all your caches, too, both in EE and your browser. If it still doesn’t work, try to re-upload your EE files, helping us to rule out a corrupted file.

Thanks everyone. I will go take another look. It is defying simple logic troubleshooting this. Will kick myself if I find out I have some silly typo somewhere ... 😊

I will go download the files again and upload again ...
