First off, I apologize in advance for the basic/dumb questions I am likely to ask. I'm a newcomer to the world of php and XF and am trying to learn how to do things the right way. I'm proficient at C++, C# and Ruby so coding isn't something new.
I got scotchbox set up and running and started tinkering. The first simple add-on I created was one that would sort the Members Online alphabetically. I followed the examples in the XF2 dev docs and extended XF\Repository\SessionActivity via XFCP_SessionActivity and overrode the getOnlineUsersList method to order the finder query to be by User.username.
Is that the correct way to implement that solution?
My next add-on, if I can figure it out, is going to be to keep a running track of the most users online and display that info in the ForumStatistics widget. Ive figured out the back end code to do this. But I can't figure out the widget. How can I add another entry to the widget that will display Most Users Online, the number of users and guests, and the date it happened?
