    Hello.

    My apologies if this is posted elsewhere. I did a search and was not able to locate anything.

    Is there any code I could add which would show which members are currently logged in? Ideally, I would like for this information to be available on the Admin Dashboard.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    If you are using another integrated system, like phpbb, joomla or some others, they show this.

    It can be tricky to figure out active users since session / cookies are passive. Typically you can monitor this kind of thing based on activity. Some 3rd party apps (like David suggested) monitor this based on page loads, etc.

    Another option is integrating with a real time monitor like GetClicky.

    I am currently operating it in its own directory as a standalone. I understand about the session/cookies, and I currently have Google Analytics on it, as well. I think that if I could even see which cookies were currently "active," so to speak, I could probably deduce which members where actually logged in and browsing the member side. Is that something that could be done?

    I'm fairly amateur to all of this, so please excuse me if I'm using any of the wrong verbiage.

    And, again, thank you all very much for taking the time to give suggestions. :)
