Installation as an update

Overview

The last login module has no back end or front end modules, it provides only insert tags.

Hint:

All Insert-Tags from the module to be resistant from TL 2.8 cache by adding the prefix "cache_".

When the cache is turned on in the site structure, the values of the insert tags will not be saved with the cache, but will be replaced again with each delivery from the cache.
Example: "last_login" becomes "cache_last_login.

The following Insert-Tags are currently available:

• Last Login
  • last_login / cache_last_login

• Online Members
  • last_login_members_online / cache_last_login_members_online
• Online Members linked
  • last_login_members_online_link / cache_last_login_members_online_link

• Number registered members
  • last_login_number_registered_members / cache_last_login_number_registered_members
• Number online members
  • last_login_number_online_members / cache_last_login_number_online_members
• Number offline members
  • last_login_number_offline_members / cache_last_login_number_offline_members

• Offline Members
  • last_login_members_offline / cache_last_login_members_offline
• Offline Members linked
  • last_login_members_offline_link / cache_last_login_members_offline_link

All the insert tags are controlled by parameters of what and how something is to be displayed. (firstname,lastname,avatar,...)
