ItsJustMe

Thank you for taking the time to check this for me, bfarber.  I'll submit a ticket.

I think I'm missing something. Why would I need to create a block that's already available, and that was configurable via Applications > System > Online User List in the past?

Has something changed in the software? Why do I now need to purchase Pages in order to create another block that does the same thing as the original block, just to set it to be viewable by admin only as it was before.

Thanks in advance for helping me to understand.

For the past while (not sure how long) the Who's Online block has been visible to members. It shouldn't be because I've set permissions to Administrators only (Applications > System > Online User List).

Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Just a note to say it worked great. The software said that I needed change permissions. I set them to 744 instead of 777 and the permissions message went away, so I think everything is fine.

Thanks, Lucas and Dean!

You may also need to change the tasks.php file CHMOD permissions to 777.

Lucas, will my IPS software tell me if I need to do this?

Hi everyone,

One of my forums doesn't get a lot of activity consistently, so I'm getting a message that I need to set up a cron job for tasks.

The dire warnings of what will happen if I don't do this correctly has me spooked.

Please tell me if this is what I need to do:

1. Go to Cron jobs in cPanel.
2. Click on Common Settings , then Once per minute.
3. Paste in the code exactly as it's given to me by my IPS software.
4. Click add Cron job.
5. Then go to Advanced Configuration in my ACP and change task setting to Use Cron job.

Is that right? Am I missing anything?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you! I knew it was something simple I was missing. Will enabling that function now delete all older accounts? Or will it only work for new registrations that aren't validated within the time limit?

Is there a simple way to mass delete/purge accounts that haven't been activated?

Thank you for your time and assistance.
