Staff online Widget

I saw a widget on www.pimped-pixels.net/

i just want to know is there a way to add a widget like that.

Widget Description:
Say's if there is Staff online, and if there is, What staff members are online.

I don't think there's a way to do this. I think, there's a thread suggesting this in the Suggestion Forum: http://help.forumotion.com/f29-suggestions

If you read through this topic, I provide a way of doing it: http://www.avacweb.com/t114-online-list-widget

Hmm...I interpreted this wrong. I thought you meant a widget that displays online Mods to online users.

But now you've got me actually wanting that. Though, it would probably just increase the level of spamming to forum staff.

That's what i want

The topic I provided, is me showing someone how to do that. You just have to follow the same method.

By what I can tell it talks about showing moderators what users are online, and only mods or better can see it.

What we want is for a widget to appear to members so they can see which moderators are currently online. Is there any info on that in that thread?

Sorry if it's on a later page of the thread - I didn't bother to look past page 2.

Yes that is what the thread is about lol. I think it might be on a later page. As you can see in the thread, someone asked for what is being asked here, and I misinterpreted it, but I understood after he explained it more and provided what is being asked here.

I'm getting kinda confused by the way the explanation is made (the site, the link where showing). On my site, it doesn't work, and I have followed every single step. Also, I want it to be shown for the members on my site. But I would like to have it as Home message, is that possible?

so i guess this is not possible :S

It is possible, its just different for every forum really.
You need to have the 'Who is online' widget in your sidebar. You then can use Javascript to check that widget to see if a staff members is online. You can do this for all your staff members, therefore being able to display which of them are online.

oh okay


But would the Javascript look like?
