Allow ability to "colourize" 'How long ago' column

[Matt Callaghan]

It would be useful to be able to specify thresholds for different coloured output on the "How Long Ago" column of the UserStatsMacro.

Currently, if we have a fair number of users, it's not clear instantly who's good and who's bad. Example:

User	Last Login	How long ago
user	2008/12/04 00:36:38	5 day(s)
user	2008/12/07 13:07:03	2 day(s)
user	2008/11/22 14:32:52	17 day(s)
user	2008/12/09 16:48:47	<24h
user	2008/11/30 18:49:48	8 day(s)
user	2008/12/08 23:14:37	<24h
user	1969/12/31 19:00:00	14222 day(s)
user	2008/12/08 21:07:58	<24h
user	2008/12/02 22:02:40	6 day(s)
user	2008/12/06 16:38:27	3 day(s)
user	1969/12/31 19:00:00	14222 day(s)
user	2008/12/06 19:30:49	2 day(s)
user	2008/12/09 12:12:28	<24h
user	2008/12/08 03:25:15	1 day(s)
user	2008/02/07 12:33:36	306 day(s)
user	2008/12/07 13:24:13	2 day(s)

However, if we could provide optional threshold values to the "How Long Ago" in days, it would help make it much clearer who's active and who's not.

Example Macro Call:

[[UserStats(threshold(green,7), threshold(yellow,14), threshold(red,999999), etc.)]]

The above example would provide some sort of colour feedback to the table. If the user logged in within the last 7 days, they would be GREEN, in between 7 and 14, YELLOW, more than 14 days RED) (Obviously my idea of the call isn't ideal, but hopefully you get the point.)

I don't think colours are going to be easy as the macro currently relies on wiki formatting to generate the table. However, it should be possible to make it more readable, see #5640...

Possible alternatives:

• sort the users by 'How long ago'
• generate multiple tables based on thresholds?
