Howdy,

it would be nice to have a block display a user's online buddies, wouldn't it?

maybe is there a quick php snippet to put in a block to get this, i don't know, no coder here... :o

Thank you

even nicer would be a little symbol (like a gmail green light) that lights up next to a buddy that is online in your 'my buddylist'. basically a status indicator that could potentially be linked to a chat module at some point. truly advancing some of the social networking capabilities.

A feature like telling who's online in my buddies in really needed !!! (a flag or a light indicating the status would be sufficient in a first implementation)

yes, maybe some lines of code that check which buddies are online and set a particular "online" CSS class to the ones who are connected would not be that difficult to implement.

about the chat feature, if i don't remember bad there should be a module called buddylist_chat or something similar that should do right this.

Looks like we are all non-coders in this issue here.. maybe i can ask a good developer a quote about this and eventually try to share the expenses with the interested ones..?

I've fixed this as well as I have time for. There is now an "online" column on the buddy listing pages.

is there potential to make a block out of the views module to show online buddies then? or would this require more fidgetting with the views integration?

Getting the online status is quite easy. See the last commits to gain the technique (it basically compares the access column of the users table to the time period set from the online users block in user module). Contact the people who did the views integration to request that specific feature (and open a separate issue).
