    Anyone know of a way to increase the time span for the Who's Online widget in the dashboard? 20 minutes is the default time, and I'd actually like that to be much longer, like 24 hours.

      Make a clone of the widget, modify it, then put your own widget in the dashboard. Widgets can be dealt with in Dashboards, the Widgets tab. This particular widget in the default Dashboard is Who's Online widget.

      That widget uses a file, manager/controllers/default/dashboard/widget.grid-online.php. The line you're interested in is line 12,

      $timetocheck = (time()-(60*20))+$this->modx->getOption('server_offset_time',null,0);
