Fetching logged in users using PHP

Hi there,

I have a problem fetching users and filtering them by "logged in" status :

$membres = eZContentObjectTreeNode::subTreeByNodeID(false, 253);
            
foreach($membres as $membre){
                
    $usr = eZUser::instance($membre->ContentObjectID);
    $nod = eZContentObject::fetch($membre->ContentObjectID);
                
    if($usr->isLoggedIn() == true)
        $liste[] = array("nom" => $nod->Name, "id" => $nod->ID);
                
}

But when I look to my $liste, everybody is in, although everybody is not logged in. (verified in the administration panel)

For information, I really need this code because I need to filter the users by another added attribute too. And as the web site will have a lot of users. I prefer to do this kind of operations directly in PHP and not with the template language (for speed).

Thanks,

Damien

I'm not sure why this would fail, but it might be more efficient to use eZUser::fetchLoggedInList(). But maybe you need to filter this list out by group, in which case custom code would indeed be required.
