I have read several posting on Active Users and how it's more reliable with the latest version. I'm about to integrate a FlashCom application so that users can chat live with video/voice. Not sure whether I should use the Active Users that comes with the forum or create a new table that is updated with an iframe that refreshes every now and then.
The iframe would update a new table with username login timestamp and last active. An SQL server job would delete old entries where last active is less than x miutes ago.
Is it worth it? Is Active Users sufficient (in which case all i have to do is add an icon that launces the flashcom app next to username in active_users.asp)? I feel like I don't need to worry about server processing if i use an iframe since this is on a dedicated server with an sql server db. I don't have the knowledge/experience to determine if this is better than using the current webwiz active users (and application variables).
Any feedback greatly appreciated!
