In the support forums, I found this great function to display whether a user is “online,” or “offline,” in the member-header. It works great in the member-header file, but to my surprise, it doesn’t work in members-loop.

Here is the function:

function is_user_online() {

   $last_activity = bp_get_user_last_activity( bp_displayed_user_id() );

   $curr_time = time(); 

   $diff = $curr_time - strtotime( $last_activity );

   $time = 5 * 60;  // must be in seconds

   if( $diff < $time )
      echo '<br/>online';
   else 
      echo '<br/>not online';
}
add_action('bp_before_member_header_meta', 'is_user_online');

When I try to call this function in my members-loop, the members list always says “not online,” even when a user IS online.

Is there a simple solution to this?

PS) It seems likely that this question has already been answered in the past, but I can not seem to find anything about it in the forums. I’m probably using the wrong keywords, but I really did try!
