"Last Visited"

Before I report it as a bug, can someone check on their site whether the "Last Visited" date/time stamp is correct? On mine it is completely random and not accurate.

Thanks!

That is a server side setting is it not?

It's in Dolphin, on the profiles and in the admin panel under Members. So I'm assuming it's a Dolphin setting.

I had to set my server to my timezone, events were showing wrong times. This may help you.

I'll check those settings, but I can't see how the Time Zone would impact the Date being incorrect!

Depending on the users location the day would/could be off one; but are you talking days off?

It is totally random. The most notable are the ones that it says that their last date of visit was their sign up date, when they have actually visited the site since then. In these cases it's off by MONTHS.

I've been signed in on and off all day working on the site and it shows I last visited yesterday at 6 pm while several other members show as having last visited just a few minutes ago.

In fact, if I order the users by Last Activity in the Admin>Members section - or in the browse.php page, it's the same list - the dates show up most noticeably wrong in the "last visited" column:

• 9.20.2011
• 9.20.2011
• 9.19.2011
• 9.18.2011
• 9.20.2011
• 9.20.2011
• 9.20.2011
• 9.15.2011
• 9.19.2011
• 8.23.2011
• 9.19.2011
• 9.19.2011
• etc.

Since this is the descending order of last visited, it should be in order. And it is in the correct order, however the dates that it is SHOWING is not the correct list of dates. If that makes sense.

I just double checked and the member who is showing as Last Visited on 8/23 has joined Groups, voted on Profiles, uploaded Pictures, and otherwise participated on the site within the past 24 hours.

Not sure but some of that maybe controlled by the cron job. 

Maybe, maybe.. an Administrator will see this topic and respond.

Anyone else notice discrepancies with their "Last Visited" date/time stamp?

 what about under the profile.php page, "Admin Control"

what are the dates there. when logging in it shows last visit correct and when profile was edited.

when I edit my profile the date does not change for a few minutes but comes out correct after refresh..

and the last visits seem to be fine..

where are you taking your dates from? I'm sure it doesn't matter.. could you provide a screenshot?

Here are screenshots! The admin log and the profile log are the same - and both wrong.

You can see how jumbled and not in order the dates listed are. The odd thing is that the order is correct, this is the list of last visits - I've checked and watched and monitored it to see. But the dates listed are crazy random and bear no  relation to when they've actually last visited.

I looked at the first really glaringly wrong date - the member who is listed as having last visited on 9/14.

And here is the Admin Controls from that members' profile - you can see that the Last Login date is wrong here, as well. The really weird thing is that it shows Last profile edition date (yet another language key that is so effin' awkwardly worded that I don't even know what to edit it to - does this mean the last time the profile was updated?? A separate rant, but if anyone knows that would be helpful, too!) was today - yet the login date is 9-14-2011.

I've included a wall shot where you can see that the member (who hasn't logged on since the 14th according to the Last Login records since the 14th) has been active on the site today. This is just a sampling of her activities over the past week. She's been on yesterday, the day before and a few days before that as well. And I checked, she wasn't signed on as invisible or anything.

Have you checked the Profiles table in the database. This date is stored in the field DateLastLogin. Are those dates also incorrect, or just the dates shown on the site?

Aha! A clue! The date last logged in is the same in the database as in the admin panel and on profiles. However, there's a column DateLastNav - that appears to be the date they last were active on the site. So what I'm assuming here is that it shows the last time they had to literally log into the site, but is ORDERING them according to the last time they were ON the site. Tricky!

However, why are some people not required to login for months and others login every day? Still a mystery.

I'm not sure if it's Stockholm Syndrome or not, but I'm going to assume that this is just "how things work in Dolphin." So my next question is: does this show anywhere to the users of my site? Since it makes members look far less inactive than they are, this is a prob. Also, I'd prefer to be able to look at the last login date and see when they were last ON the site - how can I make it show the date they were last ACTIVE on the site instead of last actual login?

 You are right.

 I think, some of members click "remember me" option, so they can visit site for some time without login.

We will fix it in 7.0.8 - http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/ticket/2658.

Well, it was a beautiful theory, but it's just been proved incorrect. I hopped on my site this morning, didn't have to login again because the site remembered me from yesterday - however it's showing my last login as today at 8:36.

I can't reproduce it, for me LastLoginTime is updated upon login only. Please can you provide clear instructions on how to reproduce it ?

I cannot reproduce this as well..

I don't know how to reproduce it. It isn't something that arises from a set of actions on the site, it's a behind the scenes tracking function.

All I know is that members use my site, Dolphin tracks their "Last Login" and gives that info, and this is the way it shows up.

What other information can I give you to help you reproduce it?

 Ok, ticket is in trac, try to test it again after we will make a fix and/or patch and then let's discuss it again if needed.
