Online Status Indicator within Threads

[Arik]

I would prefer them not to show online at all. The problem is that since there's Guests online and their accounts are Guest accounts, they show online.

So, you don't want anything to show, or you want them to show as offline?

I'm not trying to be dense here, I just want to chase down the right solution the first time.

No problem. I don't want anything to show. Thanks for being specific.

Change message_user_online to the following:

<xen:if is="{$user.user_id} != 0">
<span class="user{$userStatus.class}">{$userStatus.text}</span>
</xen:if>

Update Asp/OnlineStatus/Plugin/Plugin.php

Under

self::_getOnlineStatusTemplate()->setParam('userStatus', $userStatus);

Add

self::_getOnlineStatusTemplate()->setParam('user', $params['user']);

I'll include a proper fix when I next update the mod.

I've only done very cursory testing, but it appears to work correctly.

Thanks. I will report back!

Is this normal? I'm using "dots." They show up as dots in Chrome, but as squares in IE8. Does IE not support the radius in CSS? Can't say I like the square look, and I really don't want to load images if I don't have to.

I also tried an offline indication--a very faint grey dot, as it gives an effect of some kind of indicator being there. In Chrome, the following works wonderful, especially using a color of #c0c0c0:

Opacity:.50;

And in IE, these are supposed to work, but don't (not sure if they work on this type of element or not):

filter:alpha(opacity=50);
filter: “alpha(opacity=50)”;

Supposedly, the first line covers IE6/IE7, and the second is for IE8.

I may not use the offline indicator, but wanted to try it out.

IE8 does not support the border-radius property so any rounded corners will show as squared corners.

That's what I thought. It looks so much better rounded; squared off, it looks out of place.

To get the green dot I posted above, just empty the span like so: <span class="userOnline"></span>

And then add your custom css to EXTRA.css like this:

.userOnline {
position:absolute;
right:3px;
top:3px;
height:6px;
width:6px;
border-radius:3px;
background-color: #009900;
}

were do i go to edit to get this to show?

 

[Paul B]

Add the css to EXTRA.css.

 

[Brad P]

Add the css to EXTRA.css.

ok i added it but do i need to add or edit any think else as all i have done is added the css. in EXTRA.css

 

[Paul B]

Well you need to install the add-on and add all the associated css.

Is this coming as built in feature in the next XF release?

 

[Paul B]

Kier did say at some point that he was considering a small pip to indicate online status but that was some time ago and I haven't seen anything since.

 

[Peggy]

I sure do hope so.

I solved my opacity problem for the offline users. It actually looks nice to have a faint offline indicator when someone isn't on line, as it gives the effect of an indicator lamp that isn't illuminated. I made it 40% opaque using a light grey/blue tint.

.userUserOffline {
position: absolute;
right: 3px;
top: 3px;
height: 6px;
width: 6px;
border-radius: 3px;
obj.style.zoom = 1;
-ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=40)";
filter: alpha(opacity=40);
opacity: .40;
background-color: #b0b0e0;
}

The four elements should be in the order given above--obj.style.zoom seems out of place there, but I guess what IE needs is some sort of positioning element before the opacity will kick in via either of the two "filter" elements. I don't have IE6 to test it in anymore, but it works in IE7 and IE8. Nothing else looks "off" elsewhere on the page, so the extra code doesn't affect anything.
