Raven's site info block keeps expanding

Involved Joined: Sep 22, 2003 Posts: 252

I changed themes. I am using a theme called "classic" from web-forums.co.uk. Everything works, but my site info block keeps expanding in width. Doesn't do it on every page load, but most. Any fixes for this?

It's not my site info block, per se. Try any site info block, the standard one that comes with nuke, and you will se the same thing. Some text in your block is forcing the margins out, probably a username or label.

I'm having the same issue. I had the issue with a Game server block and was able to truncate to a max # of characters. Is this possible to do? I'm using the site info block that came with Raven's custome 7.0 distro.

While on the topic of the Site Info block, I tried using it but I noticed it shows a totally different page view number to the page view number in the stats section.

And while on the page view subject, I noticed that the counter on my site in stats section goes up 2 every page view, I refresh the page and bam another 2 views. I assume this is not normal.

I have made many changes to my own copy of the block, but I believe this is what I do. If you notice, I truncate any name > 12. I accomplish it like this. Find this code on or about line 107

Code:

    if (is_admin($admin)) {


      $sql1 = "SELECT host_addr FROM $prefix"._session." WHERE uname='$memberinfo[username]'";


      $result1 = $db->sql_query($sql1);


      mysql_fetch_row($result1);


      $zi = "<a href=\"http://www.samspade.org/t/lookat?a=".$session[host_addr]."\" target=\"_blank\">".$zi."</a>";


   }


    if (!$memberinfo[user_allow_viewonline]&&!is_admin($admin)) {


      $hiddenTotal++;


   }


    elseif (!$memberinfo[user_allow_viewonline]&&is_admin($admin)) {


      $hiddenTotal++;


      $who_online_now .= "$zi:&nbsp;<a href=\"userinfo-.html$session[uname]\"><img src=\"images/blocks/icon_mini_profile.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Check the profile of $session[uname]\"></a>&nbsp;<a href=\"messages-post-.html$memberinfo[user_id]\"><img src=\"images/blocks/nopm.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Send a quick private message to $session[uname]\"></a>&nbsp;<A HREF=\"forums.html?file=profile&mode=viewprofile&u=$memberinfo[user_id]\">$session[uname]</a>(H)<br />\n";


       $who_online_now .= ($i != $member_online_num ? "  " : "");


       $i++;


   }


    else {


      $who_online_now .= "$zi:&nbsp;<a href=\"userinfo-.html$session[uname]\"><img src=\"images/blocks/icon_mini_profile.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Check the profile of $session[uname]\"></a>&nbsp;<a href=\"messages-post-.html$memberinfo[user_id]\"><img src=\"images/blocks/nopm.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Send a quick private message to $session[uname]\"></a>&nbsp;<A HREF=\"forums.html?file=profile&mode=viewprofile&u=$memberinfo[user_id]\">$session[uname]</a><br />\n";


       $who_online_now .= ($i != $member_online_num ? "  " : "");


       $i++;


   }

and modify it to

Code:

    if (is_admin($admin)) {


      $sql1 = "SELECT host_addr FROM $prefix"._session." WHERE uname='$memberinfo[username]'";


      $result1 = $db->sql_query($sql1);


      mysql_fetch_row($result1);


      $zi = "<a href=\"http://www.samspade.org/t/lookat?a=".$member_result[host_addr]."\" target=\"_blank\">".$zi."</a>";


   }


   $sessionNameModified = strlen($member_result[username])<13?$member_result[username]:substr($member_result[username],0,10)."...";


    if (!$member_result[user_allow_viewonline]&&!is_admin($admin)) {


      $hiddenTotal++;


   }


    elseif (!$member_result[user_allow_viewonline]&&is_admin($admin)) {


      $hiddenTotal++;


      $who_online_now .= "$zi:&nbsp;<a href=\"userinfo-.html$member_result[username]\"><img src=\"images/blocks/icon_mini_profile.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Check the profile of $member_result[username]\"></a>&nbsp;<a href=\"messages-post-.html$member_result[user_id]\"><img src=\"images/blocks/nopm.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Send a quick private message to $member_result[username]\"></a>&nbsp;<A HREF=\"forums.html?file=profile&mode=viewprofile&u=$member_result[user_id]\">".$sessionNameModified."</a>(H)<br />\n";


       $who_online_now .= ($i != $member_online_num ? "  " : "");


       $i++;


   }


    else {


      $who_online_now .= "$zi:&nbsp;<a href=\"userinfo-.html$member_result[username]\"><img src=\"images/blocks/icon_mini_profile.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Check the profile of $member_result[username]\"></a>&nbsp;<a href=\"messages-post-.html$member_result[user_id]\"><img src=\"images/blocks/nopm.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Send a quick private message to $member_result[username]\"></a>&nbsp;<A HREF=\"forums.html?file=profile&mode=viewprofile&u=$member_result[user_id]\">".$sessionNameModified."</a><br />\n";


       $who_online_now .= ($i != $member_online_num ? "  " : "");


       $i++;


   }

This sounds like you may have another block/module that is incrementing your stats. Maybe a hit tracker or something?

I have the IP tracking module. Could this be doing it?

I just noticed in my detailed access statistics page most of the stuff is doubled up. I have 2 lots of year 2004 stats, and in the daily stats bit, each day, there is 2 of each.

Code:




Yearly Stats





Year Page Views 


2003  (432) 


2004  (19341) 


2004  (94991) 











Daily Stats for April, 2004





Date Page Views 


1  0% (0) 


1  1.872% (860) 


2  0% (0) 


2  1.726% (793) 


3  0% (0) 


3  1.605% (737) 


4  0% (0) 


4  1.774% (815)

(Typo on that page too: Montly stats for 2004)

I will check the db, I recently moved this site to a new server and had to spoon feed the database for about 4 hours... There was so many errors it refused to import it all, so I had to break it down bit by bit.

Unfortunately the only way to correct this it to manually delete the dupes. If you have the old database, try replacing the tables again.

Posted: Tue Apr 20, 2004 7:20 am

Its ok I did it manual in the end, I had 4 sets of dupes for the stats_date. I was a little un sure how much to delete, but I left in only the dates for 2004. I assume on jan 1st of every new year is when it writes the whole year to nuke_stats_dates?

Also do you think IP tracking module is what is causing double page views?

I doubt it, but contact scottr and ask him. Is it still happening?

Posted: Tue Apr 20, 2004 7:39 am

Yeah, Its been happening long before those dupes in the db. I will send scottr a message.
