How does the who's online scripts work?? (techies please)
Hi guys
I have the who's online (site visitors block) installed on my site. This has been working for as long as I can remember. On the 31st December... the who's online part of the block can't count the number of people online and in turn does not display any member names.
No site content or code has been changed. I tried displaying the original PHPnuke Who's Online block and again this could not read the online users.
I am running PHPnuke 7.7
My guess is that the hosting company I am with had changed a config setting, so I contacted them and received this reply:

....... they have to have done something, but I do not know how this code works or how I advise them, I sent them a copy of the script but they are being as helpful as a chocolate teapot.
Please help guys!
Many Thanks!
First off:

And if YOU have made no changes then THEY definately have if it suddenly stopped working.
Cant imagine your host would've played with your files but it could be down to the setup of the server time.
Does it do it on the default who is online nuke block too?

@ Dar 
LOL
oooops. 
Hi guys
Thanks very much for the replies.
I have had another occasion where my host has changed something and I had to contact them once more to unblock a certain port but this was for a connecting service so the whole reply about:

Yes Dar I loaded up the default Who's Online which as you know just counts the number online and this is failing to work also. It is just ridiculous because as I have said above the site visitors block has been on my site for nearly 2 years without a problem.......... I have been away for Christmas and New Year so practically nothing has changed on site apart from forum postings.
Dar are you referring to the server time setup by the hosting company or PhpNuke itself? The problem does seem logical to be around that sort of sector. I initally thought my cookies had gone wrong, so obviously I deleted them all but still no change, all my users reporting the same problem.
Is there anything concrete I can reply to my hosting company, as you can see they are not very forthcoming with what they have changed over the last few days.
I note you're in Plymouth Dar, im just down the road near Torquay lol - small world
What is your website where I can see it.
BL
Yes, I was referring to the hosts server time.
What about the whos online section on main admin page?
Yes, Plymouth, just down the road, like you say, small world.
Like Bluelion said, got a link to your site?
Hiya
Very sorry guys I cannot broadcast the site link as it is a club members sort of thing.
I can however show u this screen what the block looks like:
This is the script being used:

It slightly differs from the original code as features were erased which werent needed but this was done a very long time ago and has been working fine.
Above code is working ok as block. It does what it has to do.
Tested on 7.6pl3.1 and 7.7.
There must be something else wrong then.

Hiya Lion,
Thankyou very very much for testing that! Narrows the problem down a bit........ I am stumped to what the problem maybe.
Hosting company still insists that they dont change anything without request but at the same time asking what server settings they should change in order to get the block reworking! How the hell should I know??? They won't tell me what they have changed from the 30th December for security purposes.... this is like banging your head against a brick wall.
