Copy the whoisonline folder into the /lib/plugins folder and that should do it. Please keep the name the same since the ajax portion is specifically looking for that location. The plugin uses a file to store the active users, no database necessary.

Install the plugin using the Plugin Manager and the download URL above, which points to latest version of the plugin. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.

See the plugin in action here. The sample page shows all the styles available with the plugin.

For just a simple display of the online count add this:

~~whoisonline:NOLIST~~

If you want a popup list when you hover over the button just use this:

~~whoisonline~~

The popup list can be customized in the admin configuration. The default is {username} but you can add all sorts of HTML to make it link to places. Here is what I use on my site…

<a href="/users:{username}">{fullname}</a> - <a href="/{pageid}">{pageid}</a>

This will make the popup list have their fullname that links to their user page on the wiki, and then the current page they are looking at which you can click to.

If you want to track the users but not show the count or the list just add the NOSHOW option on some footer to record their presence, then you can do the regular ~~whoisonline~~ on an admin page to view the results.

~~whoisonline:NOSHOW~~

[Pictures showing the rendered result will help users to understand]

Basic syntax:

~~whoisonline~~
~~whoisonline:nolist~~
~~whoisonline:noshow~~
