Consider updating a structure in the App scope when you update a user's session scope?
If you're using App.cfc, it would be even easier. Using the sessionStart and sessionEnd methods, you could store something in the app scope as to what users are logged in. Heck, you could even record where the user currently is inside your app just like vBulletin. -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Williams [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, December 15, 2008 11:31 AM To: cf-talk Subject: How do I replicate some vBulletin board functions? There's a really nifty feature in vBulletin, mySpace, etc. that shows a user as being "online now". Does anyone have an ideas how to pull this off in ColdFusion? My users are logged in with various information being thrust into the session scope. I'm thinking I'll need to run scheduled task every 5-10 minutes that checks for a users logged in status, and then updating a table. Or, maybe there's an easier way?
