pmwwwgtalkvForum | | Re: BOTs Online (11th Jan 10 at 11:20pm UTC) | | Nice
How do you have it?
Will it be like:
{staff_online}
{members_online}
{bots_online}
Or something along those lines?
It's not yet built into the templating system as separate tags, we're seeing how the detection goes first.
It's not yet decided how this would be used. There are a few options:
- Introduce a new template tag which lists the users online without bots
- Introduce a new template tag which lists just the bots online
- Have a Forum Settings which decides if bots are shown or not
- Only show bots to Staff Members
All opinions welcome

pmwww | | Re: BOTs Online (11th Jan 10 at 11:32pm UTC) | | I think it should be separate from online users. As you described it could have separate tags. Like {bots_online} or something, and the total for the bots should be different from regular guest/members total. Like {Bots_online_total} or something.
Or something like on the info center, [bots] and you can click on it, and it shows the bots that are online now and were online in a pop up box, like the guest box does. | |

pmvForum | | Re: BOTs Online (16th Jan 10 at 12:30am UTC) | | It does seem that the info center of support has been changed to display BOTs differently
Yup, shows the bots online, and also lists them separately! | |
