[edit] Running it
After installing the extension, there will be a new preference that will allow users to select his status and a check box to select if the status should also be displayed with a subtitle. You can display it using:
{{ONLINESTATUS}}: a formatted (and translated) string describing the status (exactly the same you can see near the radio boxes in Special:Preferences).{{RAWONLINESTATUS}}: the internal name of the level.{{#anyuseronlinestatus:}}: get online status of any user on any page, if you want the raw version, pass a non empty second parameter.
Note that {{ONLINESTATUS}} and {{RAWONLINESTATUS}} can only be used on user (talk) pages and subpages.
The status can be set in MediaWiki:Onlinestatus-levels, one status per line and each line containing a status has to begin with *. If you add new status, you'll have to create two new messages per status:
MediaWiki:Onlinestatus-toggle-name: will appear on Special:Preferences and{{ONLINESTATUS}}magic wordMediaWiki:Onlinestatus-subtitle-name: will be the subtitle of user page if he select this status.
[edit] Configuration
The extension also add {{#anyuseronlinestatus:}} parser function that allows to fetch status of any user in the wiki. If you don't want this feature, set $wgAllowAnyUserOnlineStatusFunction to false in LocalSettings.php file.
