Description

In some cases a list of users online (potentially) on the front page of the site is inappropriate for privacy reasons. However, it would be good to have an indication along the lines of "nn users online" as an option.

It would also be good to (be able to, as an option) show numbers of connected user, even if the names are shown.

Because online users are limited to 50 (fixed value) users...

new capability block/online_users:viewlist which may be used to restrict viewing of list of online users, if cap not allowed only number of users dispalyed, I hope this will be also faster because only one query used now (insetad of two); for BC reasons enabled by default in all legacy roles; also if number of users is >= 50 the number is displayed

thanks for the report, please test

Just a report... I am testing this on 1.8, not 1.9, however... I noticed that the only way to get the role to work is to assign a site-wide role. I was looking at this to assign someone in particular (one student) this role. Is it the fact that I "copied/pasted" it or is this intended behavior?

This will not be backported into 1.8.x, in fact 1.8.x is getting only critical and security fixes, please upgrade to latest 1.9.x if possible.

Reviewed code and tested.

(Note, if you want to test this, you need to remove the block/online_users:viewlist capability from both the Student and Authenticated users roles.
