[KNOWN ISSUE] mod_whosonline bugs when no user online (joomla 1.0.10)

[meriturva]

First time i open a site and there is no user online the mod whosonline dosen't show any message.

I found this define into the language file:
/** whos_online.php */
DEFINE('_NONE','Nessun utente online');

but is never user into the mod_whosonline.php module.

I have modified that file and replaced in the end.
Old end code:

echo $output;
?>


New end code:

if ($output==''){
  $output .= _NONE;
}

echo $output;
?>

To be honest I think it would just look wierd if the module showed none, when you do know someone is on the site - you.

The reason it cant show you on first visit is a performance issue we have had to compromise on.

When i'm the first one there is no message, if i refresh the page all is ok.

I though about a bug because i found the:
/** whos_online.php */
DEFINE('_NONE','Nessun utente online');

into the language file and not used into the module.

now i'm looking for some old posts about the performance issue you wrote.

but i thinks is a good strategy to be sure that in the output variable there is something anyway.

thanks.
