    Default Enhanced Who's Online Section

    Hello Everyone,

    I was working on improving the who's online section of the admin tool since we tend to use it a lot on our own website due to high traffic and tracking statistics. As functional as it is, it has needed a make over for a long time.

    Although it can be improved even more, here is a good first stab.

    1. Added icons for logged in users, guests, and spiders
    2. Added new icons for cart status
    3. Added small CSS tweaks to make reading easier
    4. Added a javascript refresh controller

    Screenshot: http://www.leashables.com/temp/whos-online.jpg

    If anyone is interested I can turn this into a really light module, as the only file it would replace is the whos_online.php. Let me know, and I can put it together. Or if you have input on what would make this "module worthy" feel free to post.

    Thanks,
    Danny

    Look good, there is also a similar module in the addon you may want to check:

    Thanks Yello.

    I did check out that module earlier and it is well done. But the only change made to the Who's Online section in that mod is the Timer for auto-refresh rates.

    This is more of a aesthetic change with a little bit of functionality as well. So it may still have some added benefit.

    Thanks!

    I would suggest merging the 2 modules into one since both serve somewhat the same purpose. That will make a wonderful and helpful module for all store owners.

    Great idea :) I will contact the creator of that module and see if he is interested.

    In the meantime, any suggestions improvements are welcome, thanks!

    I wouldn't worry too much about working with someone else, it's all open source and you can simply grab the code changes from the other mod and add it to yours. Most likely a faster way of doing it. Just give them credit for the code block in the file and readme and you're good.

    I, for one, would like to add this to my site. I already have the Improved Who's Online installed in my site and appreciate the increased functionality that it offers.

    Thank you for sharing!

    Thanks Lankee :)

    I went ahead and created this add-on and submitted it to the Zen-Cart team. As soon as they approve it, I will provide a link to the download and support forum.

    Thanks, Danny! I appreciate the facelift, looks great!

    A little off topic, but I went to your site. NICE! I like the layout on all of the pages, fantastic job! Question: Is the compare feature a commercial add-on or did you write it? That is something that would be very very popular around here!

    Thanks again!!

    Unfortunately the altered icon images cause conflicts with other admin pages where they are used for other purposes ... thus you'll suddenly have shopping cart icons showing up in legends where they mean something entirely different.
