Niggling issue

[foz1234]

I have a small issue, not sure if this is just me but if I open my dashboard, statistics & users online some times it shows say 180 people connect but it's the same ip connect at the same time to what seems every page even to every currency, this does not happen all the time?

Its just a niggle but wanted to ask if its a known problem also if it's just me that has this. I use 8446 as ssl port, it could it be to do with the redirect?

many thanks again

That sounds like a search engine crawler which can make a large number of simultaneous connections like that - have you looked up where the IP address is registered ?  Use a site like http://ipaddress.com/search/

thanks for your reply

I had thought that may have been it myself but it seemed to happen a little to often, I see it about 7 times a week, I will keep a record of the ip next time it happens, I did look a couple up and pretty sure 1 ip was usa and the other Italy but I must admit my memory is not so good nowadays with everything I need to remember lol I will keep a record next time I see it happen.

thanks

A legitimate user will have a duration larger than 3 seconds.

There is a conversation here that will remove visits less than a given amount of time on the assumption said visitors are actually search engines.

Here's where you helped me with this some time ago:

But I'm still not really satisfied with it. I still get a lot of 2 and 3 second hits showing in the statistics.

44 of the last 91 were 3 seconds or less. Without Bsmither's code it's too many to want to count!!!

I played around with the stock source and default template statistics.index files and this appears to be working.

I attempted to change statistics.index.php to not show results unless it had a session length longer than .03.

         {foreach from=$USERS_ONLINE item=user}
{if $user['session_length'] >0.03}

         <tr>
            <td align="center"><img src="{$SKIN_VARS.admin_folder}/skins/{$SKIN_VARS.skin_folder}/images/{$user.is_admin}.png"></td>
            <td>
               <strong>
               {if !empty($user.customer_id)}
               <a href="{$CONFIG.adminFile}?_g=customers&action=edit&customer_id={$user.customer_id}">{$user.name}</a>
               {else}
               {$user.name}
               {/if}
               </strong>
               {if !empty($user.ip_address)}
               <br>
               [<a href="http://whois.domaintools.com/{$user.ip_address}" target="_blank">{$user.ip_address}</a>]
               {/if}
            </td>
            <td>{$user.location} <a href="{$user.location}" target="_blank">&raquo;</a></td>
            <td align="center">{$user.session_start}</td>
            <td align="center"  >{$user.session_last}</td>
            <td>{$user.session_length}</td>
         </tr>
{/if}

         {/foreach}

In fact, currently, Smarty has no objection to the format:
{$user['session_length']}
but officially supports the format:
{$user.session_length}

Just to remove any confusion other readers may have.

Thanks! I changed it. I had picked that up from the statistics.index.inc.php code.
