    Check to see if a specific member id is online

    We have a chat application, we want to check to see if a specific Member ID is online to chat. I can only find information on getting a current Member ID to check to see if they are online. Is there a way to find a specific member id and see if they are online.

    Is this something that Member Services can do?

    Thanks

    You can check if a user is online using code similar to below

        IMember member= memberService.GetByEmail("someemailaddress");
    MemberShipUser user = Membership.GetUser(member.Username);
    bool online = user.IsOnline;

    Hi Matthew,

    As far as I know there is no built-in functionality for this. It also depends a lot on what your definition of being online is. That the member has the page actively open, or that the member has recently opened a page?

    For real-time things like chat applications I would rather use websockets I think. Or another solution could be to use ajax to call a controller every x seconds that does something with the memberid, such as caching it in a list and clear the ones that have not been active since a while.

    Best regards,

    iNETZO

    Hi Yeah some sort of keep alive ping would be a good solution here. Although you might need to get permission from the user before you capture this info.

    Then if you have a table of ids and last ping datetime you can get an idea of who is or was recently online. You can clear this table of people who haven’t been online in the last however x many minutes to stop it getting bloated
