#22 see who is online

[Lars Baier]

... just an idea of one of my site-visitors: it would
be nice to see who of the others are online at the same
time as oneself ...

... later I will try to implement this feature (some
like from the sort in a boardsystem I've already
managing) - but not in the next days...

This is a frequently requested feature, so look for it in an
upcoming WebChess release, likely in version 2. There's a
meeting about WebChess 2 this Wednesday, please feel free to
drop in (see the news posting for details).

easy to implement: add a field 'lastactivity' in the players
table, when the player logs out, lastactivity will be 0::

every reload, lastactivity becomes the current timestamp

if the user closes the browser, no reload occurs and if then
now-lastactivity > 120, the user is off-line.
