Modification: Users Online Module

[juven14]

Could you identify all the features you think should be included in the most members online? Should it just show a count of the most users online and provide the date?

Yes, the price isn't a reflection of the module's value. It really is much lower than it should be, but I figure the work was pretty light, I developed it for my own use, and I didn't want to add a significant cost since users already have to buy the classifieds script. This way they could get a handful of modules and be on their way. The idea really is the volume pricing.

As for a time period that this would be completed, it is hard to say. I've been extremely busy with school and work, so I won't be getting to these kinds of changes for a few months at least. With that said, it wouldn't be too much work to expand the module.

If you explain exactly what you want I might be able to guide you in the right direction as far as manually expanding the module until the feature can be added.

Just a count of the most users online and a date, the way vBulletin does, would be perfect. For my needs at least, I would use Display Type 4 of your module, which only shows Users. I don't feel a further breakdown is important to people who are considering ad placement.

Again, this could be really valuable as an extra data point for potential clients who are wondering if they should spend the time and possibly money to place an ad. If you have good traffic, then you will want to let them know. And one way to balance any lulls in traffic is to show the most users you've ever had online. Even if they catch you at a bad moment when there is hardly anyone using the site, they can still see that you have had impressive numbers in the past.

That's very generous, thank you. I don't expect to add any new modules until we hit a stable version of v4. So at that time, I'll either take you up on your offer for advice, or hopefully you'll have it updated.

I can't argue with someone who is so fair on the pricing, but I will add that I would pay much more than this for what I described, as I would see this as a valuable selling tool for classifieds.
