GAH! Stupid Users Online!

[Inside Sin]

I want a short code that shows a simple number of which how many users are viewing that page.

I want it really SIMPLE. I've spent 2 hours trying to find one with no luck.

Please, I need this!

there is an option to show who or how many people are viewing a topic.
is this what you mean?

Nono, It's for my website, not for SMF.

I need just a one number count system that I can place on any page.

this is scripting help for smf.
anyway, google it.

AFAIK, this is the general scripting board, even the description makes it sound generic.

As for tracking users viewing a certain page, it's difficult to determine since webpages are "stateless". Basically, once you serve a page, you do not know how long the page is on a user's browser screen, if they are even viewing it right now, etc. You could maybe determine a few things if you are tracking via a session, but even that has limits. The best you can hope for is showing how many people viewed a page within a certain timeframe (last 15 minutes, for example).

Yeah, but I can't find any working scripts that can just display that in one number format.

Sorry for the double post, but would anyone know of one?
