Question about tracking total user online time in CB

Hello

I hope you’re doing well. I’m currently using your “CB” extension for Joomla and I was wondering if there is any way to calculate the total amount of time each user has been online. If not, is there a workaround or a planned feature that would allow tracking or reporting the cumulative online time for users?

Thank you in advance for your assistance, and I look forward to hearing back from you.

Best regards,
Saman

Joomla nor CB tracks users being online to that degree. Online status just checks if they've a Joomla session or not.

I suppose one option is compare their last login date to their registration date, but that's not really accurate to actual login time. To do that you'd need CB Code Field so you can use Joomla or CB PHP date functions to compare the dates.

To have actual login time tracking you'd probably need a way to know when a session starts and stops so you can explicitly track their session time, but no idea if Joomla has an event for that and best you could probably do there is track between login and logout events.
