I'm still in the early testing phase, but it appears to work well. Thank you
Absolutely happy !

This plugin is great and works smooth. Especially the widget possibilities are absolutely helpful and well done. Useful ideas can be brought up and get implemented for further development. Thats how a plugin should be done. hand in hand with the customers. I really appreciate that.
Expectations Met!

This plugin does exactly as advertised and does it well. The plugin was super easy to install and use. My only thought is wanting a view of the last time a user logged in on the all users page.
Otherwise it is a great and easy program to use. Install it yourself and you'll see how good it is!!

Kind of useful
By Jason (jestermgee) on December 9, 2024
Well it shows how many users are logged in but would love to see some kind of ability to display a lit of the users logged in. Even selecting the "logged in" users in the user list does not seem to work so I know that "X" users are logged in but do not know who exactly. Shame as Joomla has both logged in user and visitor metrics as standard.
