I have at least 1 user that I know of (who is on a dsl connection, I am not sure if that factors into it) who doesn't manually logout, and since I have my shoutbox set to refresh every 60 seconds, it is counting as an "action on the site", which keeps the user marked as online, forever.
I have the Who's Online avatar block installed, and I can watch the user moving around as if he were live on the site, and when I look at the tracker/page visits for the user, it shows, for every 60 seconds, this:
View Shouts
shoutbox/js/view
Is there:
a) a way to get this to stop happening, while still keeping my shoutbox set to refresh once per minute? And ..
b) a way to NOT have that logged in the tracker once per minute? It clogs up the tracker and I would also imagine the database.
TIA

http://drupal.org/node/247889 tracks the problem with shoutbox cloggging the tracker because of refreshes.
Not sure about it keeping the user logged in. I can't promise a fix in the next release but I will look around to see if it will be an easy fix.

Thanks,
Well, I'm pretty sure this hack won't address the keeping the user logged in since it just filters out the Shout Views from the tracker, but it's a nice start. For anyone interested here is the modification I did to the Statistics.module (D5):
Search for this code (which should be on or around line 239):
while ($log = db_fetch_object($result)) {just below it, add:
// Hack by Scott Elblein - Filters out the "View Shouts" addition to the tracker, which clutters up the log.if ($log->title != 'View Shouts') {
Then, below this line:
l(t('details'), "admin/logs/access/$log->aid"));add the closing curly brace. }
The result is, it will show all other events, excluding the View Shouts event.

will this hack work in d6?
