Yes, HTML-WHO.WCX is built in. So if you have a standalone
HTML-WHO.WCX, you might want to delete it unless you have something
customized.
Ok, checking this out, it appears to be an issue related to Virtual
Domain Groups (VDG) and the access profiles. I was able to repeat the
problem and to make a long story short, you have to make sure the
domain the user used in the URL is in the VDG listing and not rely on
the default host name which may not be the same.
For example, on my home machine, I have "home.winserver.com" domain,
but in my VDG setup I havethe computer name "HDEV21" setup as the
default domain. I don't have "Home.winserver.com" in the table/.
What that means is this, when the user uses the domain
home.winserver.com in the URL for the browser, WcWEB will lookup
home.winserver.com in your VDG table to get the access data. If the
domain is not listed, it will use the one marked as the default. For
me, that was HDEV21 and the access profiles was set to allow "New
User" so it should of worked. But the template was skipping the node
display because it was using the new "WHO.VDG" template variables that
regulates how the virtual domains are displayed in Who's Online.
In the WHOS_ONLINE.HTM, template, it has these options:
@set Who.VDG = 1@ @//@ set 1 to enable vdg support
@set Who.VDG.Column = 0@ @//@ set 1 to show column
@set Who.VDG.Filter = 1@ @//@ set 0 - show all, 1 - current, 2
- user, 3 - accessible
This is complex and I have to remember my design details, but the idea
was to give you control over what the user the can see. Overall, for
the "normal" user, you don't want home to see who's online for other
domains. So the ideas were:
0 Show all user nodes, master sysop, administrator, etc.
1 Show nodes only with the same current domain of the user
2 Show only the user node (private idea)
3 Show the domains the user has access too.
Again, I'm on complexity design recall, but doing some debugging, with
the Who.VDG.Filter=1, the user's current domain was blank so it didn't
show the nodes. I have to see why it was blank but it appears it is
because, I didn't have a "home.winserver.com" VDG domain.
To prove that this was the problem, I removed the home.winserver.com
from VDG and then use the url http://hdev21 and it worked.
So its related to the VDG and somehow the default is not set in the
connection node records.
Your solution for now is:
1) Make sure the URL domain is also in the VDG table, make sure the
access profiles are set.
and/or you can play with the template:
2) Put a copy of WHOS_ONLINE.HTM into the http\template\custom folder,
and edit it. Play with the WHO.VDG option, set it to 0.
@SET WHO.VDG = 0@
and see what happens. It will be interesting if you have many virtual
domains to see how it will display.
Keep in mind that this appears to be minor bug with the default domain
not being set in the TConnectionInfo record for the node. Penciled in
for review, but you have a solution by setting the URL domain in the VDG.
