With the problems etc I outlined yesterday I’ve been thinking that we might be trying to make it all overcomplicated by allowing the user to change their presence from within the block – and all the associated problems this entails with maintaining session ids in Moodle and JavaScript, knowing when they’ve expired etc. I think our best bet would be maybe concentrate on getting ‘live’ presences showing in the forums, and just have the Moodle block as a link out to launch the MSG window – maybe just have the block showing number of online users. So today I think I look into how I can make the no users online appear as a live count and how the users presence can be made ‘live’ in the forum display.
