Advanced Options

• Alternative Layout Allows you to select an alternative lay-out or template override for the module, if available.

• Module Class Suffix. A suffix applied to the CSS class of the Module. This allows you to create customized CSS styles that will apply just to this module. You would then modify the "template.css" file of your template to apply styling to this new class.
  • Enter this parameter with a leading space to create a new CSS class for this module. Enter the parameter without a leading space to change the CSS class name for this module.
  • See the tutorial Using Class Suffixes in Joomla! 1.5/1.6 for more information.
• Caching Always set to No caching, or the module will display incorrect data

Quick Tips

• Most people prefer not to use the "Who's Online" module when they have few visitors.
• If you set the cache time for this module too long, the number of visitors shown will be incorrect as the module takes users into account that visited your site x minutes ago.
