Question

I was looking for a way to show in my Twiki who is currently logged in. I have found the UserInfoPlugin which promise to do exactly what I want.

I first had some problem in installing it (out of some reason the web/configure installation gave me an error: “Use of uninitialized value in pattern match …. ” )

Anyway then I have installed it “by hand”:

• download in $TWIKIHOME
• unzip UserInfoPlugin.zip
• in configure "Enable"
• changed manually the rights of the installed files

and I have tested it:

%NRUSERS% , %NRLASTVISITORS% , %LASTVISITORS% , %NEWUSERS%

do work.

%VISITORS% , %NRVISITORS%

which is the reason for using the plugin, do not work: no matter how many users logged in the VISITORS list is empty and NRVISITORS is 0.

Any idea?
p.s. Time::Local is installed.

After a brand new install of 4.2 on a new XServe/Apache 2.2, I find that %VISITORS% still doesn't work--even on 4.2. It still always reports 0.

In UserInfoPluginDev there are patches to fix the problems of UserInfoPlugin in TWiki 4.2
