Online CakePHP Plugin
======================
Keeps track of users visiting your site, tracking where they are in
your application.  This will use the user's IP address (converted to a database friendly int).

About

======================
GIT: git@github.com:webtechnick/CakePHP-Whos-Online-Plugin.git

Changelog:
======================
	2.0: CakePHP 2.x upgrade
  1.2: Added nicer included element.
  1.1: Added tests.
  1.0: Initial Release

Setup:
======================
 1) Copy /Online into app/Plugin/Online

 2a) Run the online.sql into your database
 2b) Run cake schema run create --plugin Online
   note: If you choose the cake schema route -- I suggest changing your database engine
   to MEMORY as it will be faster to access/write than default.
   note2: if you choose the cake schema route -- change the ip column to 'unsigned'

 3) Add a bit of code to your AppController.php

//AppController.php
var $uses = array('Online.Online');

function beforeRender(){
  $this->Online->update($this->here);
}

See Who's Online:
======================
  I've included a few ways for you to view who's online without too much hassle.

1) Use the built in OnlineHelper:

2) Use requestAction():

3) Or you can use the built in element (css will be needed to make it look nice)

Enjoy!
Nick
