Members current Activity Viewer

[sylv]

Hi !
I'm not sure if this should be in plugin request or here, so feel free to move if needed.

I used to moderate a forum that had a very useful feature:
We had 1 page where we could instantly see all logged in member's present location  in the forum... LIVE.
The page refreshed every two seconds so we could get an exact up to date.

This was especially useful when we had a pack of wolves attacking (ex-dormant spammers), so we could be ahead of them and get organized, like.... one of us would be ready to delete posts straight away (knowing where these spammers already were) whilst the super admin would delete their accounts, or whilst waiting for the admin to show up.

It was a very useful page, but I just cannot find anything of the sort on PB.

Would anyone have a mod that could maybe be used on a special page, or create a plugin or something of the sort please?
That would be amazing!

Many thanks

I believe this would not be doable, as it's considered an invasion of the members privacy

Thank you Tinselled

Are you sure though, because wherever you go, it tells you who is viewing already anyway....
and that would only be accessible by staff

Thank you again

I'm pretty sure that's current proboards standing Brian could you clarify

Hi sylv

Well thanks Steve! .

I live your codes, I've used quite a few!
(And I'm sure I'll use that one too!)

When a pack of wolves attack, though, speed is of the essence ... I've seen them super organised and prepared.
I want to be prepared for them too, mate....

This your code will come handy I know, as all your other ones are....
For now, I would really like to hear from Brian to see the terms.

Thanks again Steve!

You are very welcome - Glad it helped
Anything else I believe would be a breach of privacy as all this does is show what's already available
When viewing a members profile.. this just saves a few clicks by adding the activity link on mini profile

How about having a special page that will pull all the boards in rows on a table, and then on a next column tell who is now visiting that board, instead of visiting each board manually?
Could this be done?

GGrrrrrrrrrrr

Thank you Tinselled

Posting to confirm that a code or script that shows the page a user is currently viewing wouldn't be allowed for two reasons:

- Violation of privacy as mentioned above
- This would require a plugin key to be automatically set upon loading a page, which isn't permitted by our developer guidelines

Thank you so much Brian
I appreciate
:-D
