This module shows which users have been seen online recently. Additionally, it can keep track of the number of guests, some visitor records and of the number of visitors for each forum.

This is a full rewrite of the Phorum 5.0 module by Chris Eaton.

Language file updates are needed: The language files for german, japanese, polish and spanish need an update. If you want to help out here, then please update your language file of choice with the strings from english.php and upload the updated file in this thread.

2007-12-28 v2.4.0 - Maurice Makaay

    - Full rewrite release to make full use of new Phorum features.

    - Added module template support to pull the markup code from
      the module code.

    - Records are only shown when available, so the module won't show
      "<empty> on Januari 1, 1970" after installation anymore.

    - Admin users are now indicated by (admin) after their name.
      The "Online Users (Administrator)" header was to unclear to users.

    - Added support for styling through CSS.

    - For guests counts, Google, Yahoo and unknown clients are not counted
      anymore. In the future, we might add extra clients, but these are the
      most apparent ones to push up the guest count.

    - The idle time for a user is now shown in "m:ss" format.

    - The settings page is compressed by putting option help in help
      balloons.

    - If the Phorum user tracking is disabled or higher than the configured
      idle time for this module, the settings screen will show a clear
      error message and a description of what to do about the problem.

    - Cleaned up some code that could be replaced with new 5.2 API code.

    - Added support for 5.2 display names (where the admin can choose whether
      the username or the real_name for the user has to be used as the
      display name).

    - Added support for also keeping track of the number of guest readers
      in a forum.

    - Improved the code for counting forum readers by not setting the
      count for each forum to zero before counting the readers. We can
      simply asume zero readers if the forum_id is not available in the
      reader list. This will also prevent possible undefined index
      errors in case new forums are added.

    - Users for which "hide_activity" is configured are added to the
      guest count. They will still count as a user for determining the
      record number of users.

    - Added some default settings for the module.

2007-12-14 v2.3.1 - Sunbringer

    - Modified version to work with 5.2.

2004-03-23 v1.0.0 - Chris Eaton

    - Initial Phorum 5.0 release.

I just released version 2.4.3 of the module. I fixed some undefined index warnings which might occur right after installing and I added a settings option to select for who the online users list should be displayed (for all visitors, for registered users or only for administrators).

Bert Garcia - When all you have is a keyboard

.tar.gz was okay, but .zip had some wrong files in it. This was a bug in my packaging code. I created a new zip package and uploaded it. All should be okay now.

What are the best times for idle time and cache time for the best results?. Sometimes i dont see myself when i am online.

depends on the definition of "best"
this might be no cache and continuously updating the user tracking
if this works depends on how busy the forum is and what kind of hardware you run
just experiment a bit with it

(sorry for the lack of capitals and interpunction my wireless keyboard lost its mind)

Check your
General Settings -> Track User Usage

I don't remember what the default setting was but I think it was at Once per 5 minutes so you would probably want to change to either Once per 1 minute or Constantly for a better result.
