We don't have a is_logged_in($channel_id) function do we?

That precise function? Or some equivalent?

I don't think we have that function itself. And there's no way really to know if a 3rd party is logged in since "login" is determined by the existence of browser cookies - and there's no way to know if a given 3rd browser has a valid cookie. So, I think we've relied on "local_channel()".

I guess maybe a little more context?

In redmatrix times there used to be an indicator on your profile (a green asterisk) of whether you were "online".

The online status is still available. This comes from the chat app iirc and is not very reliable...

@M. Dent i would like the item_store hook to do something for the channel which item is being stored. But only if the channel is logged in.

Would it be running as part of a web request from the logged-in channel?  That is would "local_channel()" fit the bill?  Or  is this something being stored by a process kicked off through some other mechanism?

If it's another mechanism, I'm not exactly sure how you would determine the user is "logged-in".  I suppose you could set something in pconfig like "last_seen" with a datestamp that updates with each interaction.  If that's not more than _x_ seconds in the past, assume the user is "logged in" still.

I don't think we want to maintain a permanent connection with the server, as that could be resource intensive.  Maybe update last_seen as part of Zotlabs/Modules/Ping.php? (This appears to be the approach of the chatpresence routines).

Those are my quick answers.

No, it would not be a web request of a logged in channel.
I guess i'll look for another solution...

Not perfect, but have a look at

include/channel.php:function get_online_status($nick)
