Hi guys,

I am using version 2.1.4 and the userlister macro is still not working. Is someone going to look at this problem?
It seems the header is ok (e.g. Group: All Users (offline)). But, as stated before, when I specify the parameter online=true, the list is always empty as if the online status of each user is not recognized properly.

Please, could you give an update on the progress of this matter?

Thanks!
Andreas

This issue has been reported for version 1.4 and is still around in version 2.1.4. Did you incorporate the source code contribution of ~~CONF-3535~~, or is this maybe causing the problem?

The code contributed in ~~CONF-3535~~ was included in Confluence 2.0.

Many of the problems with the userlister macro are due to the fact that the online status part of the macro relies on application server behaviour that is, in fact, incorrect according to the Servlet 2.3 specification. Thus, there's no way to get it working reliably on most of the application servers into which Confluence is deployed.

So far we haven't come up with a workaround that doesn't cause more problems than it solves.

This appears to be broken in 2.6.1 because I have the following line: {userlister:groups=eyestreet-employees|online=true}

And it displays all the OFFLINE employees instead of only the ONLINE ones. Strange.

We have the same problem with Confluence 2.6.2 e.g online users are not displayed.

Please fix

Thanks

With Confluence 2.6.2 based on Tomcat 5.0 we experience the problem von Landfried has depicted before. Obviously the plugin detects the active users correctly, but it shows the complement with the icons in grey. If we set {userlister:groups=*|online=false} the icons for active users are shown in colors and all inactive user icons are shown in grey. As active users are detected correctly I can not believe that it is an application server problem.

We would appreciate if you could fix the bug shortly

Thanks

Günter
