Good idea! I'd still need to do some new coding to make that happen. I'll be out for a few weeks, but I'll try to get back to it. Feel free to work on it if you like :)

If someone is able to pull that off... I'm definitely interested!

I actually have it running on my forum right now. I'll do some cleanup and upload the script + instructions.

What's the refresh rate for updates tamarian?

It would be up to you, as it's a cron job and can be set to any rate. I initially thought we could do once every 6 minutes, but SigmaChat gives less credit, so now I have it at once every 10 minutes.

Hey, I see you're in Ottawa, me too :)

10 minutes is just about right however it won't account for anyone using the regular Who's Online module if that's also installed... or does this cron affect both?


You betcha ... a true Bytown lad here for sure. :nervous:

You wouldn't need the who's on line stuff, since this will cache the number of those in chat in one template, and a list of their member names in another template.

Of course, you can have both working if you want to, but there's no need.

Template #1 has something like this "Currently chatting: 3 members"

Template #2 has something like this "user1, user2, user3"

I put template #1 in the forum home stats box, and template #2 in the what's going on box.

Ok so any news on the cache/cronjob update?

Well, I haven't had time to clean up. I'd be glad to post it as is here, instead of a full release, as it's quite "hacky" :) But it's been running on my forum for a while.

Post Away Please!
