New Snippet: Users Online

[Ruud]

The snippet uses the php->date() function to display the timestamp.
The timezone used is whatever is setup in the php configuration, or the webserver itself.

A function like this could be added to the snippet to change the output to a different timezone.

Great joob.

Is it possible to modify the counter so it can also show the total visitors?

Like adding a field that contains the total visitors and each time a new visitor is on the website (home page) it does +1 ?

[Ruud]

Isn't that the same a the simple pagecounter?
In that script the counter per page is updated once per session.

[Bramus]

Hmm looks like a usefull script for only the home page as that is what we want to count. I'm gonna look into it and see if we can use it for a new website!

Thanks

Would be nice if this could be a user friendly droplet [[UsersOnline]] 

[Ruud]

since this is typically a function to be used on all pages in your website, I do not see the big difference in adding
<?php UsersOnline(); ?> 
instead of
[[UsersOnline]]

On the other hand, you can always create a droplet that captures the output of the snippet..

Code: (Droplet:UsersOnline (remember to install the snippet first) ) [Select]

<?php
ob_start();
UsersOnline();
$users = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return $users;
?>Note: the dropletcode above is not tested!

Thanks for your answer Ruud. Personally I think just the other way round: this is typically a function for single use on a site, and I suggested a droplet because it's more easy for both me and clients  
But adding a droplet based on first installing a snippet sounds a bit like double work... It's not that important (for me) anyway.

hello, I would like each group to display the user behind the name. How can I do that?
