Users online Rails3 app

Question

I am following this guide I have User model.

In ApplicationController:

after_filter :user_activity

private

def user_activity
  current_user.try :touch
end

In User model:

def online?
  updated_at > 10.minutes.ago
end

How can I access all users that are online? I tried in view:

<%= user.online? %>

I got this error:

undefined local variable or method `user'

Some tips ?

Thanks in advance.

Call User model <%= User.online %> and make scope instead of method (or static method):

scope :online, where(:updated_at > 10.minutes.ago)

This is an answer actually (except that you should call User.online, not online? which is different method).

@zushe That scope should go inside Users controller ? – Edgars Aug 31 '14 at 14:52
