i need to show irreal guests in "who's online block"

what i mean is something like irc bots which shows that people are always exist in my site whether they are or not.

if i was able to tell what i want can you instruct me how can i do it?

no answer???

Geeklog doesn't distinhuish between "real" visitors and bots. And I doubt that this is even possible (not reliably, at least).

For Geeklog, every HTTP request that comes from a new IP address is a visitor. Logged in users are recognized by their cookies, everything else is just an anonymous user.

I guess you could try and make sense of the user agent string of those anonymous visitors to see if it's a bot. But I doubt this would be very reliable. And you would have to hack something into the session handling so that you could display them separately in the Who's Online block (which really only displays the current sessions).

i mean that there must be a variable such as $i=0 for the who is online block.. i will change it with $i=100



where is this variable which shows number of guests (initially)??

Sorry, I have no idea what you mean ...

Anyway, the code for the Who's Online block is in lib-common.php, function phpblock_whosonline. Have a look yourself.
