I know there is this widget that shows Recently Browsing members within a given topic but it does not include a number of guests browsing it too. Is this hidden somewhere?

Does it show the number of guests viewing the topic in TOPIC VIEW (NOT FORUM VIEW)?

Ooh, sorry. Another resource:

 

I'm starting to think that we're not communicating effectively.

Here's a screenshot of what I need @Adriano Faria

Oh yes, you bet. Sorry.

IPS removes guests from the widgets. Example:

- in the widget:

		$members = \IPS\Session\Store::i()->getOnlineMembersByLocation( \IPS\Dispatcher::i()->application->directory, \IPS\Dispatcher::i()->module->key, \IPS\Dispatcher::i()->controller, \IPS\Request::i()->id, $url );

And the method:

	public function getOnlineMembersByLocation( $app, $module, $controller, $id, $url )
	{ 
		$members = array();
		$where = array(
			array( 'core_sessions.login_type=' . \IPS\Session\Front::LOGIN_TYPE_MEMBER ),
			array( 'core_sessions.current_appcomponent=?', $app ),
			array( 'core_sessions.current_module=?', $module ),
			array( 'core_sessions.current_controller=?', $controller ),
			array( 'core_sessions.running_time>' . \IPS\DateTime::create()->sub( new \DateInterval( 'PT30M' ) )->getTimeStamp() ),
			array( 'core_sessions.location_url IS NOT NULL AND location_url LIKE ?', "{$url}%" ),
			array( 'core_sessions.member_id IS NOT NULL' )
		);

		if( $id )
		{
			$where[] = array( 'core_sessions.current_id = ?', \IPS\Request::i()->id );
		}

		foreach( \IPS\Db::i()->select( 'core_sessions.member_id,core_sessions.member_name,core_sessions.seo_name,core_sessions.member_group,core_sessions.login_type,core_sessions.in_editor', 'core_sessions', $where, 'core_sessions.running_time DESC' ) as $row )
		{
			if( $row['login_type'] == \IPS\Session\Front::LOGIN_TYPE_MEMBER and $row['member_name'] )
			{
				$members[ $row['member_id'] ] = $row;
			}
		}
		
		return $members;
	}

It checks twice if it's a member. Guests are excluded.

Okay since its not a default feature. Can it be brought back via mod if it does not cause a huge load or something negative? Price?

@Adriano Faria?

@Maxxius What?

We also don't create sessions for all guests, this number would never be accurate

I thought it would be possible with a mod but apparently not. 🙂 Sorry to bother you guys

 im curious as mine is always showing me logged in and has 4 guests, but im the guest as well?

On my IC website there is a 'Who's Online' widget or whatchamacallit that I simply dragged over on to the home page and it shows the number of guests and it comes with Invision Community. 

You can see the current online guests at any time using this url:

In the screen shot above, I am the only member logged in, 'GUIDE,' and all the others are Guests making a total of 14 guests and one member. My IP address is clearly shown, 47.13.164.144. All the other guests have different IP addresses. Please explain how you understand that 'half of those guests' are my IP address? I don't understand what you mean. As far as I know, the widget is working and shows how many 'guests' are online at any give time when I click on the widget link. Sometimes I have many guests viewing my site at any given time. The most were 499 guests earlier this month. I think this is a legitimate widget offered by Invision Community and works fine.

Check the IP addresses by clicking on them - if you have Google Maps or Mapbox activated it will give you an idea of their location, but the chances are they are search engine robots as they can use multiple IP addresses pointing to the same location.  They are not necessarily people looking 🙂

Aww because if you look where the guests are looking , its where you are or have been ,  .. and yes robots as well.

I didn't know this. Very sad. I thought the online guest widget really shows authentic guests.
