myfriends online widget

[stardotstar]

I've scoured the net for something that at least provides some good code basis for a feature that does seem to have been discussed around the place.

With vBA CMPS we could have a portal block displaying which of our "friends" were online.

I have looked at all the myfriends widget options and they all centre on recent activity or blogs etc.

What I really would like, well what my members are asking for, is a portal block that lists, from the users online list only my friends who are online>

Is this difficult? I have tried a couple of attempts at the widget with code from some of the plugins but I'm getting nowhere.

Can the users online be filtered?

Very interested in any ideas or suggestions on what would be a very well adopted CMS widget if it could be built.

Have you tried looking at the code for the Open Contacts Popup (under Quick Links) - misc.php?do=buddylist?
