instant messenger

Post by Graeme59 »

Hi,
If I enable the 'Show Instant Messenger' option in the Display mode options section of the course set up and select students. Where do I see who is currently online to message them?
Cheers
Graeme

Beware of instant messenger, as the server fires http packets to all connected users: the number of users online can crash the server (depending on its available resources).

Hi
Thanks, worth knowing, not sure if I will use it, but interested to test it (I have spare server resource).
In which area do the online course participants appear?
Cheers

It depends on your forma lms version.
I have not tested with >=2.x

It seems the link is broken. You should open instant messenger clicking on the preview bar in a course, then on the number of online users.
If you need a fix for that, contact me privately.
