Topic: "Online Today" block

[dsantana]

Hi all you genius people!!!
Is there a way to make a block that shows who has been online today or who has been online in the last 24 hours?

Thanks in advance

Do you have the SMF Mod for Users Online Today installed?
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=217

You need that in place to keep track of the users. Once you do have that, it's a matter of echoing out the info:

Code: [Select]

global $context;
echo implode(', ', $context['list_users_online_today']);
The period used is set in the Control Panel entry for the mod.

I can tell you at the bottom of the forum page I get that info already...

Now I want to add that to the bottom of my portal page.
Would I make a php box and add that code you show to make a box?

[excaliburj]

Yes. If it shows already on your Board Index, the mod is in place and active.

The code I gave is pretty much what outputs it there.

Ah. That won't be adequate. That $context entry will ONLY be filled when on the Board Index (much of what's in that array is highly dependent on 'context' - where you are/what you're doing in the forum).

So, it should be:

Code: [Select]

global $context, $sourcedir;
// Get the user online today list.
if (empty($context['list_users_online_today'])) {
require_once($sourcedir . '/Subs-MembersOnlineToday.php');
$membersOnlineTodayOptions = array(
'sort' => 'login_time',
'reverse_sort' => true,
'period' => 'current_day',
'canview' => 'registered',
);
$context += getMembersOnlineTodayStats($membersOnlineTodayOptions);
}
echo implode(', ', $context['list_users_online_today']);

And you can set the parameters (the $membersOnlineTodayOptions values) according to what you want. From the mod's Readme:

The following options are possible:

Option: sort
Possible Values: 'login_time', 'member_name'
Description: Sort the user list by either login time or their username

Option: reverse_sort
Possible Values: true, false
Description: Sort the user list in ordinary or reverse order

Option: period
Possible Values: 'current_day', 'last_24_hours', 'last_7_days'
Description: The period the user list covers

Option: canview
Possible Values: 'admin', 'registered', 'everyone'
Description: Determines who can view the user list
