How can I make a staff online widget?

Hello,
How can I make a "Staff Online" widget? I have found here some posts about this issue but they are not working but I saw a similar widget in other forumotion forums which working. My forum version is PunBB.

Hello Black-Shadow,

Which forumotion forums are you referring to that have this widget ?

Thanks

Hello Ange,
I saw the widget in forums:

and at

Spoiler:

Have you tried asking on those forums to see if they would share that widget with you ?

Hi Ange,
Yes I have asked both forums but they share those codes only for Premium, VIP members etc but they are not sharing with simple members. I posted here if someone else maybe have similar codes for sharing.

I see. From what I saw it looked like it used AJAX, so it loads the data from somewhere. Most likely the user profile.

I have nothing for the moment.

Hello Ange,
I think the javascript reads the users online list and finding the staff members maybe from a rank characteristic and then displaying the staff member in the widget.

I can make a staff widget for you, but I don't know about having a notification of them online/offline.

Hello,
I am thinking it must read the data from the forumURL/viewonline page and it must separate the staff members from a heuristic to display them in the widget but I dont know how can I develop this in javascript.

Hello Black-Shadow,

Hello Ange,
Thank you very much, I found and adapted another code for the staff online widget yesterday night. it looks like this http://prntscr.com/4phdfi . I think it need a fix because it has some load functions and I think its too heavy. Maybe it will need to set correct the browser's local storage settings to bypass the requests limits.
Can we optimize the code?

You would need to provide me with the script and widget.

Hello Ange,
Can I pm you the code or must I post it here?

It'd be good if you post it here so if others have the same problem we can show them this thread.

Whichever you feel more comfortable with.

I have made a modification to his code so that it caches the loaded data for a set time.
