Hey,
I do the following thing to get all logged in users in my app:
- column lastActivity;
- in AppController, beforeRender I update that field with current
timestamp;
- then take from DB the users which did an action in the last 60
seconds or so (you choose a timeout).
(this is crappy I think, you do an update (on a possible large table -
depending on your app) each time an user does something; but it's the
most 'direct' solution... and classy also)
