Online Today Widget (24h / 48h Activity Tracker)Ever wondered who’s actually been active today, not just who’s online right this second?
Online Today Widget gives you a beautiful, modern sidebar widget that shows all members who’ve been active within a configurable time period (24 hours, 48 hours, or any range you choose), complete with avatars, usernames, totals, and a clean expandable list.
Perfect for forums where “drive-by activity” matters more than momentary online status.
What It DoesDisplays members active within the last X hours
Shows a clean, compact grid of recently active members
Includes a summary pill:
“There has been 23 members online in the last 24 hours”
Adds a collapsible overflow section to reveal everyone active in that period
Fully configurable per widget instance

This isn’t a “who’s online right now” gimmick — it’s an activity health indicator for your community.

No JavaScript dependencies — uses native HTML <details> for expand/collapse

Avatar + username alignment that works in narrow sidebars
Truncated names (no layout breakage)
