Extension talk:OnlineStatus

Probs
I installed this extension and works great, but after watching it online it became completely absurd. This extension doesn't show your exact online status, only the status you choose in your preferences. You might be offline and set it to online and hey, you are online. The thing is, users need to visit their preferences every time they log in or log off to change their status? Am I missing something? Can it just be automatic? You log in --> You are online. You log off ---> You are offline!

By the way, I added this to the Internationalisation file (spanish):

'onlinestatus-subtitle-offline' => ' Imagen:Lightbulbxoff.png Este usuario se encuentra desconectado ', 'onlinestatus-subtitle-online' => ' imagen:lightbulb.png Este usuario se encuentra conectado ',

This shows a bulb on or off depending on status and looks great. Used these icons: http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/mini/

And this is the internationalization for Spanish (sans bulbs): --Mark 11:24, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * This extension was not designed to change automatically user status, but to let them choose their status, even if they are on the wiki or not. The problem is that not all users log in/out everytime the connect/disconnect from the wiki, but there can be a preference to do this automatically. Commited translation in r34204. Translations should not contain images or special styles, because they can be modified by sysops. i Alex  13:19, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, when I first opened the feature request on bugzilla, I was thinking of a switch that would be easily accessible, for example along the user bar that contains the links to one's user page, user talk page, preferences, etc. Click and you're marked as online, click again and you're marked as offline. This way, one wouldn't need to go to their preferences each time they want to change their status. Would it be possible to add this feature? guillom 08:19, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Yup, added a new "status" menu that works with ajax just before the "logout" link in personal tools (see r39651). i Alex  18:34, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
