Timestamp on finding new user #21

Open tomwilshere opened 12 years ago

tomwilshere commented 12 years ago

If we saved a timestamp when we first saw a user in a location, we could add some information (probably to the user view area) with how long they've been logged in...

May not be useful, but a fun implementation (if I get time!)

+1 for this as a feature, but would have to store the values in either a database or some other file format and then some privacy issues might come into play... Worth looking into though.

finger shows the login time, you wouldn't need to create a timestamp

tomwilshere commented 12 years ago

@PeterHamilton Couldn't the timestamp (as @jamt9000 says available from finger) be stored in the json with the user info? This would be cleared when they log out so no issues - Privacy wise... If you refresh regularly enough you can see when someone logs in so more a beneficial thing...

The JSON isn't a file I don't think? Isn't it generated dynamically on request?

It's a static file updated by a daemon every second or so. :) Sorry for the late response.
