Ok, just keep in mind that the template for whos_online will be
updated, so you that don't need to edit it. In fact, I just
remembered this:
If you create the optional custom template file:
http\template\who-options.wct
This allows you to override the who_onlines.htm template options.
who_onlines.htm checks for this optional file with this command:
@ExistInclude "wc:\http\template\who-options.wct"@
So create this file and add the set who.vdg macro;
@set Who.VDG=0@
This allows you to continue using the stock whos_online.htm template.
I recommend ou should delete it now from the custom folder and create
the who-options.wct instead. Then you will be upgrade ready.
Thanks

make a long story short, you have to make sure the domain the user used in the

be the same.

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.
