Extension talk:CurrentUsers

Not working correctly
I used this extension and it worked without a glitch in 1.11.1. Now that I upgraded to 1.12.0, suddenly it stopped using the Template:CurrentUsers even if i define it in the localsettings.php. I just can't get it to format the output with Currentusers template page so i have to modify the source code. What's wrong?

I checked the source code and the new 1.12.0 version isn't even using the template - whereas the old version called the template to format the output. Why was the syntax changed?

Robots & Friendly URL's
It works like a charm, thanx ;) Just have a problem with  because my wiki content is in a "/wiki" folder, so the extension doesn't display the bots. --86.217.232.28 03:48, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The extension can only display the bots if you're using friendly URL's. Even then it's only able to determine good bots who declare themselves, but many of the anonymous guests will be bad bots trying to pass themselves off as browsers. --Nad 20:11, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

wobbly output
Hi Nad, excellent plugins, however, in my 1.5 Wiki setup I get nothing like the output you get from Current Users, I'm using the : **: template, but the output looks like this: * * 14:34:

Can't see whats going on that the template doesn't display right. I have no extra extensions yet, this is a fairly fresh install

thanks for the work, lovely looking site Organic Design, nice to see something not too Wikipedia like :)
 * If I understand you correctly you are using MediaWiki version 1.5.7, I would strongly recommend upgrading your MediaWiki installation to version 1.10.1. Also do you have the contributed extension Parser functions installed? This provides flow control functions such as if etc. --Sven 07:43, 7 September 2007 (NZST)
 * If you're unable to upgrade due to requiring PHP4.x, then at least upgrade to MW1.6.13 as this is there is practically no support at all for less than 1.6 and many changes were made to the fundamentals of the code in 1.6.0. --Nad 08:23, 7 September 2007 (NZST)
 * Acually no, its a 1.10 Wiki, my mistake! Nibb 15:01, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok so what output are you getting after installing Parser functions? --Nad 21:15, 24 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I had the same problem with how it looked but installing ParserFunctions fixed it right up. Currently using it on the main page of my wiki.  Looks nice though horizontal version would be nice. :) --PurplePopple 19:00, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * You can make it horizontal and change any other style aspects using CSS, just put it in a div tag of some class then set li's within it to have their display style inline. --Nad 21:16, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Here is the code for you if you need it inline: ''' | :

Some minor issues
Nad, the extension works first time ...

I created the template you provided and I can see my username when I am connected ...

If I refresh the page, the time changes to the current time each time ... Can't this time rather indicate the time the user logged on ?? .. The current time when the Page is accessed is pretty superfluous, don't you think ??

I used another browser on the same PC to access my wiki but as a guest while still logged in as a user and i don't see the 'guest' entry, only the logged user ??

Any ideas on that ??

 * There could be a few problems with the detection currently, I'll check them out when I get some time. I'll keep the time stamp how it is now as it's about current users so the last time of access seems logical and is the basis of deciding when they're no longer current. --Nad 21:18, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Just a comment, this would complement wikichat quite well as you can quickly see whos online --Sven 11:35, 26 July 2007 (NZST)
