Thanks Paul. Installed.

This mod ROCKS! :D

Thanks Paul

Nice, installed :)

Is it possible for identified spiders from vbulletin_spiders.xml to be logged separately?
Or, to rephrase that, I don't care that google and yahoo periodically check every public page there is, and not logging them would keep the database size low even with a longer history period.

And a bit of a feature request: one of the first 'visitors' turned out to be a forum user who was simply logged out... would it be possible in a future version, to include an IP query (like the native one in the adminCP) showing matching registered forum users in a column?

I have one question regarding the guest count. Although guests cannot do very much on our site (can only read forum), we have 3 times the amount of guests than the amount of registered users. When does the guest count increase?

1. user visits as guest, logs in and leaves the site. Counted or not?
2. user visits as guest, logs in, logs out and leaves the site. Counted or not? If yes, how many times?
3. user visits as registered user, logs out and leaves the site. Counted or not?

1. Yes.
2. Yes, they only count as one visitor.
3. I dont believe so, but not 100% sure.

1 and 2 is what I have expected, but I thought that the count would be increased in situation 3, too.

Wouldn' t it be better to substract the number of registered user, who have visited the forum (if your other mod is also installed of course)? Ok, this would give you false numbers for those who visit as registered member without ever logging out. Maybe only substract half of the amount.

Nope, it would not be better to subtract anything.

If someone visits a page, not logged in, then they are a visitor, simple as that. I see no reason to start complicating matters and start fudging things.

JFYI, in my experience, few members ever actually log out once they have logged in, so they never visit the site as a guest.

Some people have very restrictive cookie settings (keep until the browser closes) or regularly wipe them manually, but you're probably right in that this is a small percentage.

Any chance you could separate recognised spiders from other IPs where the log cut-off date is concerned? The reason I've started using your mod is for antispam purposes, to see if any unrecognised crawlers are poking around our forums and I bet yahoo's slurp spider alone will end up producing half the log size. Would help if you could only save the last 24 hours of known spider IPs (for the display) and log everything elsefor a longer period.

Sorry, but I dont plan any changes to this other than I may one day collect the referer (and that would be in the 3.8 or 4.0 version).

Screenshots? please
