The WhosOnline extension adds a special page - Special:WhosOnline - for viewing the list of users currently viewing a page on the wiki.

Installation

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called WhosOnline in your extensions/ folder.

• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:

  wfLoadExtension( 'WhosOnline' );
  $wgWhosOnlineShowAnons = true;
  // If you want anonymous users IP addresses shown. Default is not to show them, for privacy reasons.
  

• Run the update script which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.
• Y Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Usage

Users who login after the extension is installed can be seen at Special:WhosOnline. Refresh the page if it is blank. As of version 1.3.1 it is possible to include the contents of the special page into a page: {{:Special:WhosOnline}}. If you use {{:Special:WhosOnline/10/shownav}} it will only show 10 users and will have the navigation controls.
