“last seen” status on profile pages

Hi developers 👋

Here is a clean, ready-to-use Smarty template snippet for Sngine to display a user's “last seen” status on profile pages (e.g., “Online now”, “Online 5 minutes ago”, etc.).

📌 Template File

/content/themes/default/templates/_profile.tpl

✅ Code (fully working)

{if !empty($profile['user_last_seen'])}
  {assign var=now value=$smarty.now}
  {assign var=last_seen value=$profile['user_last_seen']|date_format:"%s"}
  {assign var=diff value=$now-$last_seen}
  {assign var=minutes value=$diff/60|floor}
  {assign var=hours value=$diff/3600|floor}
  {assign var=days value=$diff/86400|floor}

  <span class="badge bg-white text-dark border" style="font-size:11px;font-weight:500;margin-left:6px;">

    {if $diff < 60}
      <i class="fa fa-circle text-success" style="font-size:9px;"></i>
      Online now

    {elseif $minutes < 60}
      <i class="fa fa-circle text-secondary" style="font-size:9px;"></i>
      Online {$minutes} minute{if $minutes > 1}s{/if} ago

    {elseif $hours < 24}
      <i class="fa fa-circle text-secondary" style="font-size:9px;"></i>
      Online {$hours} hour{if $hours > 1}s{/if} ago

    {else}
      <i class="fa fa-circle text-secondary" style="font-size:9px;"></i>
      Online {$days} day{if $days > 1}s{/if} ago
    {/if}

  </span>
{/if}

⚙️ Notes

• user_last_seen must be available in $profile
• Works with both:
  • UNIX timestamp
  • MySQL DATETIME (converted using |date_format:"%s")

🔥 Behavior

• < 60 seconds → Online now
• < 60 minutes → Online X minutes ago
• < 24 hours → Online X hours ago
• > 24 hours → Online X days ago

💡 Optional tweak

To extend “Online now” window (e.g., 2 minutes):

{if $diff < 120}

🚀 Result

• Real-time feeling UI
• Clean badge display
• No AJAX required
• Fully compatible with Sngine core

If anyone wants an AJAX real-time version (like Messenger / Facebook), I can provide a full implementation.
