Users Recently Online Module

This module shows a list of the recently logged in users, including those currently online, in a tab in the Joomla! Administrator cpanel. This module is a replacement for the standard "Logged In" module in Joomla!

Features
* The tab lists users, groups, date/time of last activity, online status and an icon to force a user logoff
* Clicking on the name/username in the list edits user
* The list is paginated and includes navigation
* Managers and Admins cannot see Admins in higher privilege groups
* Module parameters control:
- display of username or full name
- option to exclude non-enabled members
- format and locale of last activity date/time
- choice of user manager
- option to exclude the viewing user from the list

New features for version 1.1:
* Status header shows at-a-glance the parameters chosen for:
- Own user view
- Non-enabled members
- Date/time locale
- Currently chosen user manager (only displayed if user has privilege to edit users i.e. Admins and Super Admins)
* Parameter to choose user manager used to edit users (Joomla! or Community Builder User Managers)
* Parameter to view reported date/time according to server or website locale
* Parameter to exclude viewing user from list

Improvements in version 1.1:
* Last Activity uses the most recent information available
- While user is online, Last Activity is drawn from the session table, which is updated every time a user navigates the site. When user is offline, Last Activity is drawn from the user table, which is updated only when the user logs in.
* Users in the same group cannot logout each other out
- Logout symbol is dimmed if this is the case
- "No forced user logout: This user has the same or higher privileges" tooltip over logout symbol
* Check to determine if standard "Logged In" module is published
- If "Logged In" module is published alongside "Users Recently Online", page navigation will not work in either module
- Warning to this effect
* Table headers updated
- Name/username table heading changes according to the name/username parameter chosen
* Added tool tip text for:
- Which user manager will be used to edit user

Installation Notes

This module was written for Joomla! 1.0.x. To install it in Joomla! 1.5, you must enable the System-Legacy plugin in the Extensions/Plugin Manager.

After installing the module, simply relocate its position to the cpanel and unpublish the standard "Logged In" module.

Useful... (as I'm newbie in Joomla, it took me a while to discover that it as an admin module :). I'd give it 5 stars if is included more info about each session (how it lasted, number of pages visited...).
Thanks

Very Good One! I Loved It!

It could be even better if shows users IP.

The only input I can give is that it would be nice if "cpanel" was the default location. This is a great replacement for the original ACP user activity list. Thanks!
