hi guys,

i was wondering if it's possible to see the number of online users that are browsing your website at that very moment.

as an example, for wordpress there is a plugin that says "3 users online now - 2 humans and 1 bot"... not sure how it gets that information, be it from the output of "netstat" or from cookies...

any hints appreciated :)
cheers

i've tested the "whoisonline" plugin on a gallery 2.3 today, it seems to work, but it only displays the user's names, so if you have three unregistered users browsing your gallery, you'll only see "guest" once and that's all :(
