WhosOnline plugin for CakePHP 4.x

About

This plugin uses Middleware to track access to a CakePHP 4 application using an IP / User Agent hash stored with other request data such as IP, user_id, URL... in a whos_online table

It is inspired by https://github.com/webtechnick/CakePHP-Whos-Online-Plugin

Installation

You can install this plugin into your CakePHP application using composer.

The recommended way to install composer packages is:

Add this repo to your repositories key in composer.json

    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://github.com/toggenation/whos-online"
        }
    ],

Install it using composer

composer require toggenation/whos-online:dev-main

Run the migration to create the whos_online table

bin/cake migrations status -p WhosOnline

bin/cake migrations migrate -p WhosOnline

You might want to add a route to simplify access to the plugin via /whos-online/ instead of

// config/routes.php

$routes->scope('/', function (RouteBuilder $builder) {
   // ...
   $builder->connect('/whos-online', [
        'plugin' => 'WhosOnline',
        'controller' => 'WhosOnline',
    ]);

    $builder->connect('/whos-online/{action}/*', [
        'plugin' => 'WhosOnline',
        'controller' => 'WhosOnline',
    ]);
    // ...
});
