Pretty cool and works great on 1.10. Any chance of it being just a splash screen / small pop up box with a list of viewers rather than the full statistics page?

Recommended :)

Not at this time as I have way too many other things to upgrade :)

I'll review any PRs if you want to do improvements though

Unfortunately i'm not skilled in coding so i wouldnt have a clue on how to edit / improve this.

But thanks for the reply, keep up the good work mate :)

i have activated it on my live site in 1.12 and many times i see visitors viewing pages in piwik, but the view isn't being counted in the views counter plugin. i don't know why yet.

Not sure, I haven't had any issues with it.  I just made one small change that *may* possibly account for it, but I don't know...
