I saw something like this not long ago... I'm trying to remember how it
worked.
It was something like... have a table that you write a UID and the current
time into, each time a page is viewed. (Something in application.cfm I would
imagine, if your session is active at the time). This way, every user on the
site has a record in that table that is no older than the session timeout
(say, for example, 15 minutes).
So to get the "current users on the site", you query that table where the
timestamp on it is less than 15 minutes old. The only catch is folks who
just up and leave would still show "current" for the remainder of the 15
minutes. I don't recall if the solution this other guy had (that I'm
paraphrasing) dealt with that in any way or not.
Hope that helps :)
