Show when Admin is online

[beiamerica]

Is there a way to show other users when the admin is online? I want to put it by the welcome block to offer live support.

I searched but didn't come up with anything. - Thanks

i don't understand what you mean ... by default all users are visible to others ... anyway you can change your status in your UCP ... :)

Unless Admins have set themselves to invisible, they show up in the "Online Users" list.

also you can set what usergroup have the rights to see the users that have choose the 'invisible status' ...

you did not understand guys...

it is possible to set a button on your page that will indicate when the admin is online... like all other live-support scripts, vbulletin store the sessions in the database and is aware when an admin is visiting the site... so it would be easy to code a condition to show the button when the admin is on... sure!

What nexialys said is exactly what I am wanting to do. I am sure it wouldn't be too hard to do. I just don't know how. Sorry if my question wasn't clear. :D
