Member Visit Tracking

[Paul M]

As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

This tracks the number of members that have visited the forum each day, and displays a list in the same manner as the Members Who Have Visited Today display. However, this also tracks a lot more data, such as the script (and request variables) run on their last visit, and all threads and forums visited.

Options / Features

* The script that the member is running is logged (e.g. showthread, usercp etc).
* The request variables in use are logged (e.g. threadid, userid etc).
* The member visits table can be cleaned of old records to help control it's size.
* Member Views data collection - tracking each members viewing of the forum index page, forums and threads.
* Member Views data collection can be separately disabled.
* Multiple member visits to the same page are logged separately.
* Clicking on the main display icon will list the recent visits by all members (if allowed).
* Clicking on a member in the main display will show that members viewing data (if enabled, and you have permission).
* Clicking on the "Total members that have visited" line will list all members who have visited and their last action.
* Usergroup permissions are done with the standard vbulleten usergroup permissions system.

Four new usergroup permissions are provided in the usergroup manager.

* Can View the Members Visited Display - Members can view the members visited display on Forumhome.
* Can View Member IP Addresses - Members can see the ip addresses of visiting members.
* Can View Member Visits List - Members can view the list of member visits page.
* Can View Member Tracking Data - Members can view the individual member visit tracking page.

* All (non usergroup) modification settings are in vBulletin Options > Member Tracking.


To install;

Unzip the XML files.
Upload the bitfields file to your ../includes/xml folder.
Import the product into vBulletin using the ACP Product Manager.
Set your required permissions in the usergroup manager.

Note that by default no permissions are given, you must set them.

Note: You must enable the [core] Visiting Members display, this mod hooks into that display, it does not duplicate the display for itself.

Excellent mod. Installed and five stars!

[LuckyNeo]

You are the BESTEST of the BEST!!! Five stars, installed :up::):rolleyes:

[Boots]

Nice!

[Boots]

Does this take some time to display on forumhome? Does everyone have access to the information?

[Merjawy]

great one again ... tagged

Thanks

[kall]

First import (With Members Who Have Visited Today) = Screen filled with what looked like a datastore dump = Old one uninstalled, this one apparently not installed.

Re-importing worked fine.

[arena]

Thanks for a great application installed

[Boots]

I've had it running for a bit but I see nothing on my forumhome.. hmmm

[LuckyNeo]

Very strange.... But hack...disappear! I don't see him in usergroup settings, i don't see him in forumhome. And before installation "Member Visit Tracking" i uninstall hack "Members Who Have Visited Today"

[VonDoom]

Thanks Paul. i was missing the extra functions of this bad boy.

[VonDoom]

Very strange.... But hack...disappear! I don't see him in usergroup settings, i don't see him in forumhome. And before installation "Member Visit Tracking" i uninstall hack "Members Who Have Visited Today"

You have to set the usergroup permissions for this since its doubtful youd want your members to see all the details this hack provides.

[Paul M]

No, and No again.

First import (With Members Who Have Visited Today) = Screen filled with what looked like a datastore dump = Old one uninstalled, this one apparently not installed.

Yep, looks like there was a small bug in the install code related to if you had ever installed a 3.x version of this, it will run fine on re-importing. Fixed in 4.0.2.

[LuckyNeo]

Yesssss! It's WORK! Thank you, genius! :)

[Boots]

I was using the wrong usergroup to test this with... working now... and it's probably one of my favourite mods :)

[gbechtel]

When I click on the user my page just reloads. What php file does it use to show the data? There was noone in the zip file??

[Paul M]

misc.php [a standard vbulletin file].

You need to be a little more specific about your problem.

[maximutt]

Thanks for this, Paul!

I noticed there was an extra textbox with the word "cron" in the AdminCP settings for Member Tracking. There is no description beside that textbox so I was wondering what that setting is for?

Also, is there a way to move this section under the "Currently Active Users" section at the top of the What's Going On Box? Right now it's showing up under the Track Guests section that I also have installed.

[Hornstar]

Paul I was thinking of installing this, If I had it only show for myself, and if I ran it on a busy site, would that be alright? or would this hack be too intensive for a big board?

[Paul M]

I noticed there was an extra textbox with the word "cron" in the AdminCP settings for Member Tracking. There is no description beside that textbox so I was wondering what that setting is for?
Oh yes, the text has gone awol. I'll fix that tonight. Its the setting for what scripts should be ignored by the tracking system.

Also, is there a way to move this section under the "Currently Active Users" section at the top of the What's Going On Box?
No. ATM it runs on a different (later) hook than the others, so appears last. I am aware of that and plan to change it at some point.

[Paul M]

Paul I was thinking of installing this, If I had it only show for myself, and if I ran it on a busy site, would that be alright? or would this hack be too intensive for a big board?
It runs happily on my site, which is quite busy. The overhead on this is quite small (nothing like the CMS for example ;))

You need to be a little more specific about your problem.

Sorry about that, it was late for me... Disregard... I thought when you clicked on the usernames it would produce the "List of Members" page but it doesn't it just reloads the forumhome page. I have found that I need to click on the icon next to "Total members that have visited the forum today" to view the list.

Brain farts happen...:o

Excellent, thanks Paul. Though theres a blank options category in my "Site Options" menu in acp, kinda weird. It's not this mods config menu though, which is another item.

[ndut]

installed. thank you

[Klopek]

Its a great MOD, thanks!!

I would like to know which mysql database tables are beeing created upon installing.

And is there an easy way to manually clear the databases... or maybe even single entries ? Because I would like to track only a few users and delete all other records.

[Paul M]

The tables are cleared of older records each night (as per the setting in the options).

[Ozidoggy]

I'm using VBSEO so the link on the username doesn't work. I get a 404 page not found

[Paul M]

Im afraid I dont have vbseo installed on my vb4 test forums, so there isnt much I can tell you atm. Presumably vbseo is doing something to the link to break it.

[molieman]

Fantastic MOD, thank you Paul :)

Member visitor block is showing the numbers but not showing users names.
Permissions are set and everything else works great but the above.

[Paul M]

Your collapse feature is behaving very strange, have you edited the Display_Members template in some way ?

[molieman]

Your collapse feature is behaving very strange, have you edited the Display_Members template in some way ?

No editing to the templates. Would it hurt to uninstall and reinstall, or wouldn't it make any difference.

[Paul M]

That would make no difference, It appears you have some none standard javascript in use (animation js) which is changing the way collapse works - the result being it breaks the load collapsed functionality.

[molieman]

You're right on it!!! I found it, too bad though. YUI Animation Effects Product, disabled it. Works fine now :) :) :)

Thank you :)

Is there a way to keep it open rather then the default close?

[Paul M]

Turn the load collapsed setting off (in the options).

Your animation will probably work as long as you dont use the load collapsed option.

[Klopek]

The tables are cleared of older records each night (as per the setting in the options).

Thanks!

But could you be a little more detailed ? There is an option called "Database Clean-up Period: Member records that have not been active in 'x' days will be deleted. This helps keep down the size of the table."

That means that the tracking data of all members, who have not logged in since X days, will be deleted, right? What about the data of members who log in every day ?

[molieman]

Turn the load collapsed setting off (in the options).

Your animation will probably work as long as you dont use the load collapsed option.

I think I can't see..... :( I can't find the setting, I think you mean outside the "Member Visit Tracking" options. A hint would be appreciated :) :) :)

How about an option in the "Member Visit Tracking" options "Collapse Display" Yes or No ? Or set the default for open?

Thanks I appreciate your help. I want this to work :) :) :)

No, it means any records over x days old will be deleted.

Thank you Paul.

[Delilahs]

Paul, all installed but a slight error when I click on the members name to look at the stats.

the url ends up being ; forum/%20misc.php?do=memberview&member=38

when it should be ; forum/misc.php?do=memberview&member=38

I am running vbseo and sitemap generator.

Can I edit the file manually to do it?> if so, what one would it be?

[Paul M]

Interesting, there is a space there, but neither IE or FF care about it - what browser are you using ?

You need to edit the Display_Members_User template.

[Delilahs]

Paul, I use Opera on a Mac mate.

can you give me the line to look for?

edit;

here you go, it's the very first line, it should be;

<li>{vb:stylevar dirmark} <a class="username" href="<vb:if condition="$show['trmview']">misc.php?

[Paul M]

Paul, I use Opera on a Mac mate.

can you give me the line to look for?


Display_Members_User only has one line. You need to remove the space before "misc.php", after the closed IF.

[Allan]

Work with vB 4.0.1 ?

Tagged for future install and thanks lots :)

[Delilahs]

yes it does work with 4.01

great one thanks............

installed and nominated.

[zelnik]

Not sure if it's a vb4.0.3 thing or not as it's the first version I've used.

But if you're having problems getting the add-on to show up on the forum then goto your usergroup permissions (if you're upgrading) and just click save and that seems to work it.

Thanks Paul, probably the most important addon to my site so nominated for MOTM

[nikosb]

thanks
works fine on vb 4.0.3

[BlueCheri]

Nice one installed.

Thanx

[mofeu]

I install it but does not work.Appears on admincp , it is active but not on the forum.
Please give me a help

[Paul M]

Did you follow the install instructions ?

[mofeu]

Yes I did !

[Paul M]

So you set permissions ?

[ImmortalForums]

Can you cache the templates please.

[Paul M]

They are.

[ImmortalForums]

While in debug mode it was showing the templates as non cached. I fixed it by doing the following.
if ($show['trg'])
{
$cache[] = 'Display_Members' ;
$cache[] = 'Display_Members_User' ;
}
Change to
if ($show['trm'])
{
$cache[] = 'Display_Members' ;
$cache[] = 'Display_Members_User' ;
}

[Paul M]

Ah.

It would have been helpful if you had been more specific in the first place. ;)

There is indeed a bug there, it looks like all the cache code is using trg, not trm.

Edit: Fixed in 4.0.8.

[ImmortalForums]

Thank you for fixing it. :-)

[J6488EEA8E90]

Looks great. Will install it later.

[thesun103]

Hi, I installed it and got this problem, anybody help me please :( I'm not good at coding T_T



Thank you so much !!!

[kennykre]

I have set up a forum which is password protected.
Will this mod allow me to track members who have been provided with the password in this forum?
Will it enable me to see if anyone else is using the password to gain access to the forum?
Thanks.

[Paul M]

Yes, you would be ale to see if they had viewed the forum, or any threads within it.

[kennykre]

Paul, would it be a good idea to set up the members of this forum as a specific user group?

[kennykre]

I have installed the mod and set permissions, which obviously allows members to view the stats.
Is there a way that I can set it up so that I am the only one who can see the stats?
Thanks

[Paul M]

Not sure what you mean by "the stats", but all permissions are usergroup based.

[KURTZ]

Hi Paul, maybe i've discovered a trouble with this product ... many times when i try to check the users' log i got this message 'No Data Found to Display', but if the log-on i must see at least the 'forumhome' in their logs ...

so i think that they log-on directly in the social groups page (an invited SG), can you check this point please? i think there is something wrong ...

thanks :)

[Paul M]

There is nothing wrong :)

As the description says ;

Member Views data collection - tracking each members viewing of the forum index page, forums and threads.

If they do not visit the homepage, or a forum, or a thread, then there will be no tracking data.

[KURTZ]

There is nothing wrong :)

As the description says ;



If they do not visit the homepage, or a forum, or a thread, then there will be no tracking data.

ah OK :) maybe can you add the socialgroups? it's great if you add the SGs also for the inactive/lurker users Paul, cause they aren't lurker or inactive if they post in the social groups ...

[COL NIL SATIS]

installed...top top mod...cheers Paul ...also rated 5

[Paul M]

ah OK :) maybe can you add the socialgroups? it's great if you add the SGs also for the inactive/lurker users Paul, cause they aren't lurker or inactive if they post in the social groups ...
If I have the motivation, then maybe I will look at this one day - however, the simple fact is that these mods (like almost all of mine) are primarily written for my forum, and then shared here - and we only use the forums, not social groups, or visitor messages, or blogs, or CMS (in fact, we dont use vb4). So there is not much call for me to spend my limited time on such things. :)

[Gero50]

Installed, thanks very much for the great mod.

[KURTZ]

hi Paul, i found an incongruence ... in this phrase (trm_members_today) i found this for my lang (italian):

<a href='misc.php?do=memberlist'>Total members that have visited the forum today:</a> {1}

but not for the default lang (your english) ... what's wrong?

ps. in the pic you can see what i can see with the italian lang.

[Paul M]

Im not sure what the question is here.

trm_members_today is one of this mods phrases.

[KURTZ]

Im not sure what the question is here.

trm_members_today is one of this mods phrases.

Paul, i used the APM (advanced product management) hack that allows me to check all the phrase in a product ... (you can check the pic)

maybe this phrase was in the older version (you know that i've upgraded directly from the 3.8.5 and i had some troubles with your products)

[Paul M]

That phrase is in all versions.

[BadgerDog]

When viewing a member, how far back does the mode maintain data about a member's activities under the viewing data option?

Clicking on a member in the main display will show that members viewing data (if enabled, and you have permission).

Is it 24 hours and all data older than that is deleted?

Thanks ... :)

Regards,
Badger

[Paul M]

The default is 2 days I think, but the display is also limited in the number of lines it will show. Both are options as far as I recall.

[Footman]

Very nice mod man. thank you. A question...

Where can I change the white frame and text color in the output?

Hi, I uploaded the xml file to the correct folder but everytime I upload it to my ACP I get a message saying "Importing Plugin Definitions, Please Wait......" and then below a vB message saying invalid file specified. I've unzipped it after download, uploaded it to the correct folder but I don't know what's going on. I'm operating on 4.0.7.

[Paul M]

There are several xml files, please be more specific about which you have uploaded, and which you have tried to import, and also how - from what sense I can make of your post, im pretty sure you are not doing it correctly.

EDit: I was having a blonde moment - its working now.

[top dogs 360]

If I set this to no restriction "The display cutoff period on the member listing screens."

and have this set to 500

"Database Clean-up Period
Member records that have not been active in 'x' days will be deleted. This helps keep down the size of the table."

then I could hypothetically track members for over a year right?

We have awards for log in streaks.

7,14 days
1, 3, 6 months
1 year awards

but they are streaks so users have to log in consecutive days to get the award.

[Paul M]

Yes you could do that.

Given there is no paging on the display, you will probably run into some display issues after a while. It wasnt designed to be used like that.

[zelnik]

Hi mate,

Upgraded to 4.0.8 and although the functionality works it's all messed up looking! :(

Edit:

For anyone wanting a quick fix:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2112279&postcount=347

This fixes it but it's "Display_Members" template for this mod.

thanks , installed and working great on 4.0.7

[Paul M]

Hi mate,

Upgraded to 4.0.8 and although the functionality works it's all messed up looking! :(

Edit:

For anyone wanting a quick fix:

This fixes it but it's "Display_Members" template for this mod.
Ah, damn, I forgot about this one, and the guest tracking as well.

<mutters expletives about 4.0.8>

[Paul M]

Fixed for vb 4.0.8 WGO style changes in latest release.

[KEKforce]

Fixed for vb 4.0.8 WGO style changes in latest release.

Works great now on 4.0.8

:D

Thanx Paul!

[Footman]

Hey Paul,

Not sure if this is part of your mod or not but just in case it is.... I upgraded to 4.0.8 and ended up having the WGO area without the box and header graphics. I just uploaded your upgrade but the issue remains. Any idea?

[Paul M]

Nope, no idea - kinda looks like you are missing a load of css - is that a customised style ? If so you may need to revert some css templates.

[Footman]

Yep Paul... It was a combination of the vB upgrade to 4.0.8 and my custom theme. Just had to revert the forumhome template. Of course uploading your newest update helped the alignment issue.

Oh and I see vBulletin is now using 4.0.9. Guess we can expect yet ANOTHER update soon... joy!

[Mikevet1984]

Thank you for this great mod!

But I face some problems with it. My vBulletin version is 4.0.8 suite.

When the display collapse option is set to <YES> from the control panel the mod does not work at all. When I click on the arrow for the mod to get expanded no info are shown.... This does not happen if the display collapse option is set to ''no''.

The same problem happens to me with another mod called ''Track Guest Visits'' of the same Coder.

if anybody knows how to overcome the problem please advise me what to do....

Thank you in advance for every reply!

Regards,
''Michael''

[Paul M]

See answer in other thread.

[Mikevet1984]

Hello, PaulM!

Thank you again for your great mods

I need your help if you can guide me to change a setting of your TRACKING mods (Member & visitors)!

As I have installed a transparent template in my forum the tracking mods have a little bug with this template as the backround is white and the link colours are yellow and the contrast is very low.

I attach a photo to see what I mean.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

I would like to ask you if possible to guide me to make an alteration in the mods to make the backround of the mods also transparent or change it to any color i like.

Regards,
''Mikevet1984''

[MonkYZ]

Great mod (as always from Paul M)!

But, can you please make it so that Registered Users can see the Admins in the "members who visited today" list? I don't want to hide from them :)

Thanks in advance!

[Paul M]

This follows the standard vb settings, no one is hidden unless they have chosen to be in their settings.

[MonkYZ]

This follows the standard vb settings, no one is hidden unless they have chosen to be in their settings.
Well, i only asked because before i used "Members Who Have Visited Today" mod (thanks for it, btw) and Registered Usergroup could see the Administrators Usergroup. With Member Visit Tracking, they don't (but they can see Moderators Usergroup). Is there something i can set for this mod so they can also see Administrators?

[Paul M]

No, as I hoped I'd made clear, there are no settings that restrict which usergroups are shown in the list.

[AttalaEA]

I cann't find anything to access the track members! vb4.1.4

[Gecuba]

Very useful mod - thanks a lot!we only use the forums, not social groups, or visitor messages, or blogs, or CMS (in fact, we dont use vb4). So there is not much call for me to spend my limited time on such things.May be some time you'll install vb4... Will be waiting for blogs and articles extention...

[Paul M]

Updated: This is now available for the 4.1.x series of vBulletin only.

[misericorde]

Thank you Paul : Uptaded

Nice

[penmai.com]

I had installed the mod!, but Date and IP address are not displaying. How to make it display?

[Footman]

Hi Paul,

Do you have any idea where I can change the color of the background of the table so it matches my style?
Thanx

[Paul M]

It has its own custom CSS template that you can update.

custom_trm.css or something similar, I forget the exact name.

[Footman]

custom_trm.css or something similar, I forget the exact name.

Thanks, yes that's the name of it. I actually changed in the xml file already. The following line was where I made the change:

.vistable .alt1 {
background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);
}

[penmai.com]

Hi paul,

I had installed the mod!, but Date and IP address are not displaying. How to make it display? Please let me know.

[Paul M]

Have you set the correct usergroup permissions ?

[marinelife]

It seems my site is slower after adding this, Any Idea?

[marinelife]

This is a great mod but I have to remove it, it is making my site to slow!

[Kayden]

Having an issue, just after upgrading to 4.1.8 Beta. There are suddenly no commas between the usernames; not a huge issue, but it seems off, nonetheless.

[Paul M]

Thats expected. I havent released 418 compatible versions yet. Once its released fully (i.e. not beta) then i will.

[DragOnRE2]

I have uploaded the xml and can not find in my usergroup permissions the following:

Four new usergroup permissions are provided in the usergroup manager.

* Can View the Members Visited Display - Members can view the members visited display on Forumhome.
* Can View Member IP Addresses - Members can see the ip addresses of visiting members.
* Can View Member Visits List - Members can view the list of member visits page.
* Can View Member Tracking Data - Members can view the individual member visit tracking page.

But can adjust vBulletin Options > Member Tracking. and I have everything enabled.

The active users online has stayed the same. Does it take time for it to gather data then show??

[Paul M]

Did you upload the [correct] file as instructed

Upload the bitfields file to your ../includes/xml folder.

and then import the product ?

[DragOnRE2]

Im sorry but I cant seem to find "../includes/xml folder." (I never uploaded it)

Ive tried the Plugins & Products in the ACP but both uploads said invalid file.

Thank you for your help!

[Paul M]

/includes/xml is part of your vb installation on the server, this isnt something you can do via the control panel, you must upload the supplied bitfields file to the folder on your server via FTP.

[DragOnRE2]

Thank You Sir!!! :)

[misericorde]

Hy

Thank you

[J-P]

Thanks for the mod. I have been running it for a while now and it seems to work well. I do have 1 question though... It is tracking myself but not the other members. How and where do I flip the switch to track the members?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/11/22.jpg

[Paul M]

I dont understand what you mean, that screenshot shows three members.

[J-P]

That is correct. As you can see it is tracking myself, but not the other members :/

[Footman]

Hello Paul,

Any chance this mod can be adapted to catch more info on each members visit? Like listing their posts, attachements etc. I know these can be found elsewhere but to have it all found in one place would be much more streamlined. Also it would be great, for me and my board at least, to have the tracking info kept indefinitely instead of deleted every 24 hours or so. Perhaps in a viewable, retrievable, printable table of sorts. Mine is a private members only board where security is important. Tracking and keeping a record of actions of the members is very helpful in my case.

I'd happily pay for your time on this if necessary.

Thanks for the great mod

[thecore762]

Very nice mod!

[J-P]

That is correct. As you can see it is tracking myself, but not the other members :/

just upgraded to the latest VB ans version of this mod... it is still only tracking myself and not the other members.

I still can't find where we set the tracking for the members...

[Paul M]

There is no such setting, its either all or none. You cannot set it to track just yourself.

[J-P]

so is there a bug?? I don't understand why it isn't tracking the other members....

The only other thing I can think of is that the it can not track members using their phones...

[Paul M]

I don't understand why it isn't tracking the other members....
I cannot answer that since I cannot see what your forum / system is doing.

[Thunderbird8]

so is there a bug?? I don't understand why it isn't tracking the other members....

The only other thing I can think of is that the it can not track members using their phones...

Members coming in through ways that don't cause plugins to trigger (such as Tapatalk) can't be tracked this way, without modifying those parts. This wouldn't explain the issue fully though.

[Paul M]

The only other thing I can think of is that the it can not track members using their phones...
That depends on how they access with their phone. As posted above, if its a method that bypasses the hooks, then this isnt going to see them.

[Paul M]

The older (pre 418) version is now attached to the main post.
This is for vBulletin versions 4.1.0 - 4.1.7 only.
Please note that the older version is NOT supported. There is no 4.0.x version available.

Any thoughts on this Paul?

[Paul M]

Sorry, I simply dont have the time to add features to any mods atm.

[Footman]

Ok thanks anyway Paul.

[keyper]

Hi, installed, but can see nothing in usergroups (manager). No change anywhere that I can see, exept for the cp/options/settings it is in there, so theyre all set up to go
any suggestions to why its not showing would be awesome.

[Paul M]

Did you upload the bitfields file to the correct place on your server ?

[keyper]

Did you upload the bitfields file to the correct place on your server ?

Yes, uploaded again to make sure, it went up in binary mode, and chmod is 644 same as all other files in includes/xml/bitfield_trm.xml
when you say files, is there supposed to be more than one.?
I'm using version 4.1.8 and downloaded and used the Track-members.zip file

and just to be absolutely sure, I uninstalled in admin cp, and re-installed and still nothing.
I am looking for the extra fields in Usergroup manager. there is a config in admincp / settings/ options
Thanks for helping out here, I would really like to get this mod working.

[Paul M]

when you say files, is there supposed to be more than one.?

I said file :) there is only one.

There isnt really much else i can tell you. If the file is in the correct place then (re)installing the product will rebuild the vb bitfields, and the options will show up. The only way that cannot happen is if the file isnt in the correct place.

[keyper]

Thanks anyway, re did everything and still nothing. I will wait a month and let the forum get some traffic through it and see what happens then. :)

[TheSupportForum]

this is not working on 4.1.9

an error message reporting

"not well formed" upon install

[OldSchoolDSL]

I have a small feature quest, Paul. I know you keep very busy, but I think this feature could help weed out some bad users.

I'd like to know when someone is viewing profiles and who's profiles their viewing.

Why?

I had a member who was viewing member's profiles and searching for contact info (in their profile), so they could contact members off site, to go else where (spam).

I think such a feature would be helpful in tacking down such things.

[marinelife]

Any way to get this to track tapatalk members?

[Sovereign123]

Can anyone confirm if this is working for vB 4.1.10?

Thanks :).

[Paul M]

This works fine in 4.1.10.

[Paul M]

Updated due to the removal of the old collapse images in 4.1.11 - the replacement images are actually available in 4.1.8, 4.1.9 & 4.1.10 so you can update to the new version even if you havent upgraded from them to 4.1.11 yet. vBulletin versions prior to 4.1.8 are not supported by the current version (for 4.1.0 to 4.1.7 you can use the file prefixed with 417). vBulletin 4.0.x is not supported at all and no version is available to download.

Blank pages usually mean an error, but you have error display turned off in php. Can you check and turn it on ?

Yes, sir. php error logs are enabled in Error Handling And Logging

Then the most likely cause would be the template is missing.

Resolved. .htaccess file edit from an add-on was interfering with this modification.
Uninstalled their mod and kept this one.
Thank you for all your contributions to vBulletin, modifications and otherwise.

[Thunderbird8]

This was disabled by the upgrade to vB 4.2 on a test board (I'm guessing because of the Members who have visited today modification's inclusion in 4.2), but I can't find the equivalent functionality within 4.2. Would I be correct in assuming that it's not in there? If so, are there any plans on a 4.2 modification? I'd hate to lose this since it's quite useful.

[Paul M]

Yes, there will be a 4.2 version.

[Lionel]

I can't get this to work in 4.2.0. For starter there are no hook forumhome_whovisited_list anywhere in templates

Edit. I did not realize that Visiting Members options had also to be set, in addition to Members Tracking options.
is there a way to restrict Visiting Members display to display members tracking?

edit again. Never mind. I put a conditional to restrict that

[Paul M]

is there a way to restrict Visiting Members display to display members tracking?
I dont understand what you mean.

[Lionel]

Never mind. Members Tracking works only if Visiting Members is active and I did not want to display Visiting Members to certain groups, so I just put a conditional in there.

[Paul M]

I still dont understand. Tracking does not need Visiting Members to be active, it has its on on/off and permission settings.

Depending on permissions, you can have ;

1. Groups that dont see Visiting Members at all.
2. Groups that have the Visiting Members Display, but no access to the Tracking functions.
3. Groups that have the Visiting Members Display, and access to the Tracking functions
4. Groups that dont the Visiting Members Display, but do have access to the Tracking functions.

Option 4 would be unusual as they would need to manually type in the urls for Tracking displays.

[Lionel]

It does as it uses $show['wgo_members']
in template FORUMHOME as an if condition. And that is true in forum.php when
if ($vbulletin->options['wgo_members'].

I spent a couple of hours trying to figure it out. When I saw that in template I turned it on and ... it started to display.

[Lionel]

here is the mention of it in template
<!-- Start Members Today -->
<vb:if condition="$show['wgo_members']">

[Paul M]

Right, now I see what you are getting at.

In 4.2, this hooks into the existing VM display, it does not add its own, so yes, it obviously needs the master setting to be turned on, otherwise no one will be able to see it.

That still doesnt explain what you said, or why you would add a conditional anywhere.

You do realise that Visiting Members Display is controlled by Usergroup Permission ?

So while the Master may be on, it only displays for usergroups that have that permission.

[Lionel]

<vb:if condition="$show['wgo_members'] AND $show['admincplink']">It's the Master settings I wanted to disable. I do not need to display my visiting customers to every one.

Hum, I did not see any permissions for visiting members

[Lionel]

I just found Can View the Visiting Members Display on Forum Home. That was already set to YES and it was not displaying to me as admin

edit. Don't mind me. I have not slept for 2 days now.

Hi paul, the member tracking is not showing on forum home. I uninstalled and installed it back with no luck. i reuploaded the xml files and still not showing. I also tried to view the forum with different styles even the default vb style and still not showing on the forum home. I have been using it since we moved to the vb 4x.

Everything is set to yes even in the admincp and administrators's usergroup .

In 4.2 this uses the existing 'Visiting Members' display, therefore you must have that enabled in its master settings, and then for any usergroup you want to be able to view it.

I could alter it to override the Visiting Member settings and permissions, but I didnt really want to do that.

[Paul M]

Very good work Paul, one question though, in versions 4.1.x of the plugin, it didn't show the posts where a certain usergroup didn't have permission to view, whereas in 4.2 it does. How can I fix that? (forum permissions are correctly set)

Thanks in advance!

Did you uplaod the (new) bitfields xml file ?

[Makaveli007]

Paul, on vb 4.2, when using this and Guest Tracking, the guest tracking displays on top, and I cannot figure out how to put it below member tracking like it was on all previous versions.

can you assist? in the guest tracking thread there are a few others having the same issue

I answered in the other thread.

I reloaded the bitfields xml file. Uninstalled, and re-installed (both looked successfully), but still nothing showing up on forumhome.

I'm running VB 4.2.0 PL1, and this latest 4200 version of this add-on.

the same here !!

[Paul M]

For vb 4.2.x only - Have you enabled the Visiting Members display in options ?

In 4.2 this does not add its own display, it hooks into the existing display, so that must be enabled.

[aciurczak]

Arg! Sorry for the trouble. That fixed it. I had enabled and reconfirmed the permissions for visiting members display, but the main option to enable the display itself was still set to off. I hadn't realized that the option itself was now a separate setting in 4.2.

Now to figure out how to resort the items in the wgo box. (I know I figured it out before, so I won't even ask unless I get stuck)

Well, I got stuck. I went through the plug-in manager to re-order all of the execution order where I could find it, and that didn't seem to change a thing. I put member tracking ahead of guest tracking in each hook where they both showed up, but no dice. Is the positioning somewhere else now?

[Paul M]

Execution order only works for products, remember that the Visiting Members display is now a core display. You need to read the posts here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=2338263#post2338263).

[Paul M]

Hello Paul,

Any chance this mod can be adapted to catch more info on each members visit? Like listing their posts, attachements etc. I know these can be found elsewhere but to have it all found in one place would be much more streamlined. Also it would be great, for me and my board at least, to have the tracking info kept indefinitely instead of deleted every 24 hours or so. Perhaps in a viewable, retrievable, printable table of sorts. Mine is a private members only board where security is important. Tracking and keeping a record of actions of the members is very helpful in my case.

I'd happily pay for your time on this if necessary.

Thanks for the great mod

Paul, I'm taking a shot here and renewing my hopes that there may be some way to add these functions to this mod. Most importantly for me at least is keeping the records indefinitely. As I said above security is very important for me so having a long history of members actions can be very helpful if a legal need arises.

If this is still not a possibility could you point me in a direction where I can start getting trusted help on this?

Thanks again,

[Paul M]

I dont really understand what you mean by listing their "posts and attachments".

As far as keeping all the data is concerned, just turn off the cleanup (set its value to zero).

You will end up with a huge amount of data though (and no built in way to display most of it, there is no function to display specific time periods).

[Footman]

I'm just looking to keep track of as much of their actions as possible, and to keep a running record in case it's needed for legal reasons. As for the "posts and attachments" I mean if there is a way to track/display their individual posts/attachments, if any, within the display provided.

Perhaps I'm not describing my needs well enough. I run an adult forum and the security of the members is important. Occasionally there are people who join and steal images for other sites, or post stolen images here, or are stalking other members, hiding behind proxy ip etc etc. I've been through a time already when compiling the movement/actions/login ip's etc, of an individual was necessary for authorities. Having a more detailed record would of made everything a lot smoother and faster.

I'm sure this would entail a huge amount of data stored somewhere. Perhaps it can be displayed in the ACP instead of the forum itself. Having the ability to sort by member would be beneficial.

It sounds like a considerable amount of work to me so I'm sure it does to you also. Unfortunately it's kind of necessary for me and would be most beneficial to me as well.

Any thoughts or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

It is not possible to do that with this mod, it doesnt go into that sort of detail.

In fact, its not possible at all to know what post is being viewed, as a page has many, and pagesize can vary. It might be possible to log what images are being viewed (if they are attachments).

Either way, all this does is log what forums & threads they have visited (and when).

What you describe is a much more complex system that would need to be custom written for you.

The 'viewing' of images or individual posts wasn't what I meant. I meant tracking/listing the users posts/attachements etc. The way you have it set up already lets me know they visited the thread, which pretty much tells me they viewed it.

I figured this was a pretty big task. I'd be interested in getting this custom written, if you're interested and/or have the time. Like I said earlier the detailed tracking can be very useful for me and my site, along with other security features but that's another topic. If not, I completely understand, would you have anyone in mind who you know enough, trust or believe can do this completely and correctly... and could update it if the need arises like when vB updates their script?

Thanks again

[Paul M]

Sorry, as my signature says, I cannot help you with custom work.

[Footman]

No problem, I'll keep searching.

Thank you

[cspili]

Can you please explain this exactly, thanks.
Sorry for the delay, here's the explanation you requested. Your product used to not display any posts that were read by the user if the one who was looking at the product's page did not have access to see the title of those posts.

Let me clarify it a bit more with an example:

Let's say User1 is and administrator and User2 is a user. Cat 1 is the general category Forum 1 is the admin's forum (read/write/etc only by admins) and Forum 2 is the general forum (read/write/etc by all). In 4.1.x versions of the plugin, User2 could not see what User1 had seen in Forum 1. In 4.2, User2 can see what User1 has seen in Forum 1.

[Paul M]

Let's say User1 is and administrator and User2 is a user. Cat 1 is the general category Forum 1 is the admin's forum (read/write/etc only by admins) and Forum 2 is the general forum (read/write/etc by all). In 4.1.x versions of the plugin, User2 could not see what User1 had seen in Forum 1. In 4.2, User2 can see what User1 has seen in Forum 1.
You are correct in saying that User2 would be able to see what forum and/or thread User1 had visited, in forums they cannot see. However, Im puzzled by you stating thats changed. There has never been any permission check on that.

The permission check is usually done by the software (in this case, vBulletin). At least, in my case, in the 4.1.x versions of vB, it didn't allow User2 to see what User1 has written in forums and threads User2 didn't have access to.

[Paul M]

Again, Im not clear what you mean.

This will list them (i.e. the title) to user2, that is not a permission check vB performs, that would be code needed in this mod.

If User2 clicks on the title to view the actual forum or thread, they will get a no permission error, that comes from vbulletin. If you dont get that then your permissions are wrong.

[afmarko99]

Works good. Thanks

[tareqbd]

vb 4.2, this mod Installed but cannot see "total members that have visited today ".

[Jncocontrol]

Not working

This product is not compatible with version 4.2.0 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 4.1.11 / Incompatible with 4.1.99 and greater)

[Paul M]

Thats because you are trying to install the wrong version.

[Jncocontrol]

Thats because you are trying to install the wrong version.

K, I got the right version this time, But i don't think it is working still Paul, correct me here if i'm wrong. But shouldn't there be an extra "field" at the footer of the forums with a list of those who have logged in to the forums today?
If so, I"m not seeing it.

[Paul M]

Did you see this in the main page ?


Also note that for vBulletin 4.2 onwards, you must enable the [core] Visiting Members display, this mod hooks into that display, it does not duplicate it for itself.

[Jncocontrol]

Did you see this in the main page ?

How i do enable it?

[v_b_m]

I can't see the member view. I'm using 4.1.12

I installed the plugin. I gave the admin the permission to view.: the four radio buttons in usergroup for amdin were set to yes. And yet I still can't see anything.

I spent a couple hours in this thread looking for answers but didn't find any.

[TheInsaneManiac]

So is this now core in 4.2.0 and if so what does this mod do to the core?

[Paul M]

So is this now core in 4.2.0
Nope, this is not in the vB core.

[wildheart]

Thank you for this great mod.

[mitch84]

hi, how changed colour background or color text? It's diffiult for read, thx

[Mark4865]

Installed great mod thanks for effort.

I have one small issue in my members list the names are not visible (I use custom style) unless you run the pointer over them they they are highlighted, the member titles are always visible. Any idea on how to fix this

[mitch84]

bump, thx

[moustafa]

Where exactly does this add-on appears in the forum?

I installed it as explained & updated usergroups but i don't find it anywhere in the forum.

[mitch84]

just click on a nickname on index.php under Total members that have visited the forum in the last 24 hours:
but don't forget active set in acp>usergroups and search for Member Tracking Permissions;)

[moustafa]

I did that already but when i click on any nickname, i don't see any tracking or any new tab in the member's profile.

[mitch84]

it's not in your profile but on index page

[ClanScene]

<span style="text-decoration: line-through">Same problem here, enabled all options for Admin first but really don't see anything.</span>

Solved, so silly. It's already in 4.2.0 but disabled. In 'Options' -> 'Forum Home: Visiting Members' you must enable it for it to work.

[mitch84]

I use a customised theme, how changed colour background? thx

[Paul M]

Edit custom_trm.css in the style.

[mitch84]

thx; it's fixed :up:

[tarun_ce]

how to check, its not displaying for me.

[UnitedYacht]

took a bit of reading through this thread to get all the options working but once i got it, everything works as intended. awesome add on amigos! one question though, is it possible to modify this to keep records for a month or even a week or two if not? this is a small exclusive company only forum and my boss wants to track who is actually making use of the forums and reward those that are using it the most on a monthly basis. thank you for all your help :)

[Paul M]

Change the "Database Clean-up Period" setting.

[blackberry]

not working on my 4.2.1 :-s

[Paul M]

This works just fine in 4.2.1, so I suggest you check you have it set-up correctly.

You havent said what your problem is.

"not working" doesnt tell me anything, what is (or isnt) happening exactly ? :)

How can I track users? I don't get it where is the link to do member tracking on main forum display?

[Paul M]

Have you looked at the screenshots ?

The first one shows you the display (it now uses the Members Visited display).

Click on a members name, or the "Total members ......" message.

I don't know How but it works now.
Yes, I did check the screenshot, it was displaying default links before... that's why I replied here.

[Bubble #5]

Paul, we are using 4.2.1 and we just see one screen when we click on the members name.

How do we access this screen?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=109566&d=1263059572

As far as I know it is enabled everywhere in the ACP.

[Paul M]

If you dont get liked to that screen then you have missed a setting somewhere.

You must have "Enable Views Tracking" turned on in the mod options, and your usergroup must have the "Can View Member Tracking Data" permission (and obviously, "Can Use Member Tracking" as well).
