Topic: tracking user login status

Hi, do you know a script or anyway to keep a status track of user logins. Maybe a seperate script to run and display the current users logging into the FA.

example: simultaneously an accountant and stock manager logins in, I run a script and able to see the status of user logins with a stamped time-in and log-out.. etc.

is this possible?
Your help is appreciated.

Re: tracking user login status

Well, there are various ways of doing this. But it will require more fields in the user table.
However you have an option to show how many users that are currently on-line by setting the variable:

    $show_users_online = 1;

in the config.php file in the root of the installation.
