I checked out the web2py.js file and it looks like what i'm looking for is right in there but i really do not know how to implement this. I realized I can take advantage of the web2py_websocket function's onopen argument and write a function to tell that that user is online, and when the browser tab or window is closed, I'd write a function to execute for onclose.
The problem I have now is what function to write. I want to store the ids of all the connected users somewhere so i can refer to it and use it to get whatever information i want (i.e. a count of all users online, urls to their profile pages, etc), and then when they close the page, their ids are removed from wherever i'm storing it. Is it possible to keep that list of ids in a database, or a list, and still update the page in real time when more users connect and disconnect? Scenario. There are 0 users online right now. When I visit the website, I want to see the number automatically say 1 users online. and when my friend also goes to the page on his computer, I want to see in my browser 2 users online. When he leaves the page/closes the page, I want to see in my browser 1 users online without having to refresh the page. I don't know if I'm thinking about this correctly so I need some help and guidance here, thanks. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
