I searched this site, but couldn't find an answer, so here goes. The file ./logs/access.log in Geeklog logs the fact that a user has logged out of the site with lines like this
(date) - userid = (uid) logged out from (remote ip)
(curiously enough, Geeklog doesn't log when a user logs in) So far so good. Except that (uid) isn't, as you can see from the line in users.php that does the logging:
Text Formatted Code

COM_accessLog("userid =
    {$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[$_CONF["cookie_session"]]}
    {$LANG04[29]} $REMOTE_ADDR.");
 
The question is; how do I convert from the value written in access.log to a real Geeklog userid?

I have to admit that I've wondered about this myself as long as I know Geeklog ;-) What Geeklog is really logging here is the session id and there's no way to convert that back to a user id (I think). Actually, I prefer it that way since Geeklog should not log user activity ... bye, Dirk
