REST : users/online
Hello,
I wanted to see the XML with "users/online" and I'm really surprised as in the XML file it's possible to have more a user more than once (yesterday there are even 5 times the same <user>...</user> node...).
Is it normal?
For instance, a response to "users/online" with 2x the same <user type="user" href="/users/id/19"> node
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<response status="success">
<users>
<user type="user" href="/users/id/19">
<id type="int">19</id>
<registered type="boolean">true</registered>
<deleted type="boolean">false</deleted>
<login type="string">lorseau</login>
<anonymous type="boolean">false</anonymous>
<last_visit_time type="date_time">2012-03-23T08:11:51+00:00</last_visit_time>
<email type="string">lorseau@mega.com</email>
<registration_time type="date_time">2012-01-30T13:15:53+00:00</registration_time>
<average_message_rating type="float">0.0</average_message_rating>
<average_rating type="float">0.0</average_rating>
<banned type="boolean">false</banned>
</user>
<user type="user" href="/users/id/19">
<id type="int">19</id>
<registered type="boolean">true</registered>
<deleted type="boolean">false</deleted>
<login type="string">lorseau</login>
<anonymous type="boolean">false</anonymous>
<last_visit_time type="date_time">2012-03-23T08:11:51+00:00</last_visit_time>
<email type="string">lorseau@mega.com</email>
<registration_time type="date_time">2012-01-30T13:15:53+00:00</registration_time>
<average_message_rating type="float">0.0</average_message_rating>
<average_rating type="float">0.0</average_rating>
<banned type="boolean">false</banned>
</user>
</users>
</response>
Thanks,

:-) Yep, it is. A user can be logged in multiple times. We recently redid our Users Online widget and had to take this into account. Here is the code we are currently using:
<div class="lia-panel lia-panel-standard UsersOnlineTaplet Chrome lia-component-forums-widget-users-online"> <div class="lia-decoration-border"> <div class="lia-decoration-border-top"> <div></div> </div> <div class="lia-decoration-border-content"> <div> <div class="lia-panel-heading-bar-wrapper"> <div class="lia-panel-heading-bar"> <span class="lia-panel-heading-bar-title">Users Online</span> </div> </div> <div class="lia-panel-content-wrapper"> <div class="lia-panel-content"> <div id="usersOnlineTaplet" class="UsersOnlineTaplet"> <div class="lia-users-online-current"> <#assign member_count = rest('/users/online/registered/count').value?number /> <#assign guest_count = rest('/users/online/anonymous/count').value?number /> <div class="lia-text">Currently online: ${member_count} <#if member_count <= 1>member<#else>members</#if> ${guest_count} <#if guest_count <= 1>guest<#else>guests</#if></div> </div> <div class="lia-users-online-recent"> <div class="lia-text">Recent logins:</div> <ul id="list_0" class="lia-list-standard-inline"> <#assign seen_users = {} /> <#list rest('/users/online?page_size=5&restapi.response_style=view').users.user as online_user> <#if ! seen_users[online_user.@href]??> <#assign seen_users = seen_users + {online_user.@href:1} /> <#assign online_user_ranking = rest(online_user.@href + '/ranking').ranking /> <#assign avatar_info = restadmin(online_user.@href + "/profiles/avatar").image /> <li style="float:none!important;"><span class="UserName lia-user-name"> <img class="lia-user-rank-icon-left" title="${online_user_ranking.name}" alt="${online_user_ranking.name}" src="${avatar_info.url}" style="width: auto; height: auto; max-width: 64px; max-height: 36px;" /> <a class="lia-link-navigation lia-page-link lia-user-name-link" style="<#if online_user_ranking.display.color != ''>color: #${online_user_ranking.display.color}</#if>" target="_self" href="${online_user.@view_href}"><span class="<#if online_user_ranking.display.bold == 'true'>login-bold</#if>">${online_user.login}</span></a></span> </li> </#if> </#list> </ul> </div> <div class="lia-view-all"> <a class="lia-link-navigation view-all-link" id="link_147" href="/t5/forums/usersonlinepage">View All</a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="lia-decoration-border-bottom"> <div></div> </div> </div> </div>Note the seen_users hash to track those users we've already displayed.
