Online Plugin was created by mtk

Hi,
I've created a simple plugin that adds a field to indicate the Online Status of a profile.
This is due to the lack of Online field in the CB Lists.
(now I can filter online users)

The plugin uses the Session Events to set the value for the cb_online field.
The problem is that a user not always do a logout properly which will cause the cb_online field to remain TRUE (i.e closing the browser)

is there any way to overcome this?

Cool. Nice plugin. Are you planing to share it with community ?

The timeout is a joomla issue, or more precisely a general web issue.

You could set your own timeout to be 1 or 2 minutes without activity for your field, based on lastonline from sessions table.

where do I set this on the API of the plugin?
Can this trigger the Logout event?
