I try to build a chat and I want to let any user know if another user is currently logged in or not, via a visual indicator. For this, I use a repeating group which lists all the users and I add a dot in every cell with the following conditional : “when current cell’s user is logged in —> icon color : green”. The problem is that whenever the users are logged in or logged out, the dots are always green, so I just want to know if this condition is handled by bubble or if I have to find another way to show this information to users. I precise that the same conditional is working well when it’s about the current user (“when current user is logged in --> icon color : green”), but it seems not to work for others users.

Being logged in is in the current browser, not in a remote location, so that’s why it won’t work.

That’s a great question, actually. What would be the best way to make it work? The two first solutions that come to mind would be to: a) Add a yes/no field to the user type that gets changed upon login/logout? How to handle browser window close without logging out? b) Just use a date field to save the time of the last page load and based on the time passed from that display something relevant?

I agree: a) is a good idea, the problem appears indeed when the user closes his browser without logging out, I don’t know if there is a way to solve that. For b), I’m not sure to understand.

Need help I’m basically trying to have a field within a thing, that will log which user last interacted with that particular thing. The log needs to remain in the database even if the user leaves the page through any other means than a “save and progress” button (eg if they close the browser or something, it’s important that it still logs their interaction). So currently I have a workflow on page-load adding the user id to a list of IDs within the page’s thing. Then on completion of that page, it just …
