WeitualUser -- Virtual Members crawling the site

[rotozuk]

That is correct.

I noticed that my cron did not seem to be working correctly. I then found these errors in the log. Interesting thing is that the cron.php works fine when loaded from a web site. I have a temporary fix using a web browser to reload the cron every 5 minutes.

1. Register linux server cron job to execute cron.php at server root, best in 5 mins interval or less.
2. User web crawling software to click http://yourforumhome/cron.php. Do not click index.php, because virtual browser may not fire the cron.php

There is a cron.php in forum. It can be registered to linux cron to refresh.

I am sorry for that.
Have you put members in the virtual-users-group?

Could you give me your forum link? By post the link here by conversasion.

Can you explain in noob terms what this mod does?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this mod just includes members of a certain group randomly to display on the online list. ( also browsing random boards, etc )

Is it possible to make this work by assigning members as secondary members to the group used to populate this add-on? For example, I created a group called VUG but if I assign a member to that group under secondary, they do not seem to show as on line. Only primary members of the VUG group do. Thank you.

Not yet. I agree use secondary group is more reasonable. I use primary group is just for convenient in programming. I still not know how to check a user's secondary group.

Will upgrade this mod after writing a RSS-javascript feed.

I test this module in my localhost, the guest not fetched. I am working for this issue.
Thanks for unteam report this issue.

 

[Weiyan]

The guest not fired issue solved.
Its a careless mistake. XF 1.04 has rather strict rule, so it doesn't let the mistake go.

Download the attached zip, unzip it, replace /liberary/WeitualUser/Model/VirtualUser.php.

 

[Robert F Schmitz]

You are the man! Thank you.

[MarcosPreviato]

in one hour is 200 and the other one, how to adjust the mod, I want him always to oscillate between 50, 70, 100 and so on!

 

[Rho Delta]

Just installed it... might send you a donation if it works well

 

[Rho Delta]

If I change their primary group name though will it display that under their avatar?

No what is displayed under the avatar is based on which ever has the highest display value!

Do you mean the 200 users appeared suddenly, sometimes, there is only a few. If this is the case, the conjob not triggered. Post #2 has explanation how to trigger the cronjobs. If there is fewer than 1 click per 5 minutes, you need further procedure to trigger the cronjob.

If this is not your case, pls. give me more info.

Tks.
