That will update once a guest visits.

Installed in 3.8 working fine.

Thanks.

Question. I have a problem with a troll that was banned. She keeps coming back in under web shared proxies. (She has registered under fake ip's over 50 times now.) Is there a way to tell (Like site meter, which I had to uninstall due to the tracking cookies they are now putting on everyone's pc.) if it's the same pc as a guest using different proxies? In other words, once I get a "fingerprint" of her pc, be able to tell if it's her registering again.

Is it possible to have a separate page that shows me
time ip, etc for Member Registration attempt for only?

I have been using this plug-in for a while now and it seems to help if they are using the same machine to login.

Excellent, thank you this works great. Again, much appreciation for this mod.

MarkoP 08-22-2009 12:19 AM

This is probably going to be a goofy question but I just need to make sure...where it says this:

* The guest table can be cleaned of old records to help control it's size.

Is that taken care of automatically or do I need to do it manually somewhere?

Thanks!

Paul M 08-22-2009 08:41 AM

Its a setting in the options.

Brathamike 08-27-2009 09:04 PM

fixed

thank u

Madlike 08-29-2009 01:52 PM

<i><body style="margin:1px"></i>

This code crashed my fixed style. When i delete "margin:1px", it's OK. Why "margin:1px" ?

Paul M 08-29-2009 02:12 PM

Why not. Its just a margin, nothing to worry about.

cfww2 09-21-2009 07:47 PM

Works great. Thank you Paul, your add-ons are excellent and making the life if a newbie so much easier

MagicThemeParks 09-24-2009 12:27 AM

Great work again Paul! :up:

surfer2124 09-29-2009 01:49 AM

Works great

Thanks

Silencer Groans 10-05-2009 01:20 PM

I have a version number 3.8.4

I have also vBSEO

To convert the links

When you install the product that you throw depends Forum

Forum works .. When you shut down one of the producers Track Guest Visits or vBSEO

There is a conflict between the two

I hope that you have a solution to this problem

Paul M 10-05-2009 03:56 PM

I have no idea what your actually reporting as a problem, but I run vbseo and this mod without any issues.

VonDoom 10-12-2009 02:02 AM

Thanks for this great hack Paul, i love all these statistical mods.

SamirDarji 10-28-2009 11:45 PM

Awesome mod. Noting to remind myself to test it.

Skydiver10 10-29-2009 03:12 AM

Works fine...accept...how do you get the users names to show instead of a number?

Example: Visitors (9) ....I want the users names to show instead.

I want it to show the Users names that have already signed in and left.

How do I make it show the users names like I have seen on other forums?

Thanks for this mod! Can you help with with the above question?

SamirDarji 10-29-2009 04:21 AM

When you refer to user names, do you refer to spider names? These are unregistered visitors. They don't have user names.

As posted above, these are guests, they dont have usernames.

Skydiver10 10-29-2009 01:00 PM

Hi there SamirDarji,

I did not mention anything about spiders, and everyone here knows that spiders do not have user names.:confused:

Do you know what a users is? :eek:

I'm looking for someone to help answer my question in my previous post. :rolleyes:

A user is someone who is registered,
obviously a spider does not have a user name unless you let them register and they spam you to death. :rolleyes:

Back to my original question...:)...how do I show MY users names (REGISTERED) on :
"Total guests that have visited the forum in the last 24 hours"

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

SamirDarji 10-29-2009 03:08 PM

vbulletin allows certain spiders that are recognized to be listed as such, hence a "user name." I'm fully aware of what a user name is. I don't think you're fully aware of what this modification does. It will not do what you want. This one by Paul will:

Speaking of this mod. Paul, how well do these two mods play together? Are there any issues?

If you want help then I suggest you adopt a better attitude in my modification threads, thanks :)

This modification is for Guests, hence its name. If you want to list members, then you need a different modification (linked above). This is not what you originally asked,

They work just fine. :)

SamirDarji 10-29-2009 03:51 PM

Thank you Paul.

I noticed someone created a vbadvanced cmps module for the other mod, which I am using. Do you know of a module that exists for this one?

Paul,

Thanks for your help and thanks for the mod :) Samir thanks for the link. :)I think we had a communication breakdown with the mod I'm asking about. I thought that the mod was able to show my users names that have visited in the last 24 hours, I have now realized that this mod does not do that, thanks for the help.

I installed the wrong mod and asked Samir about his knowledge. That's no reason to jump to conclusions and perceive me to adopting a better attitude. :) Sometimes asking people questions directly prevents additional posts that are unnecessary when trying to get the correct answers about a mod (miss-communication).

I'm just trying to communicate to you all in finding answers, which can be difficult when slinging back and forth questions and answers that are misinterpreted. Is it OK to ask if someone knows what a user is, if I'm thinking that they think a spider has a user name? And I believe that is what I was asking, no need to follow your miss-perception of me.

I have read your "Preventing Hacking/DDoS Attempts"...my opinion - the best post on this entire forum.

My forum was hacked earlier this weak after being live for just one and half months.
An invisible malicious code was injected into the forums home template, which directed it to some turkish site. The IP's came from Japan. It took me two days to fix this and I could not find the code anywhere. After combing this VB forum I found the Fix-it template mod (which is the second best post or mod here). Hackers, animated malicious software, etc. should all be terminated out of the cyber world, I wish I can make these morons pay for all of the labor and slave they cost us.

So what if I install your other mod https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=196458 as well as keep the same mod on my board that I already installed, would both show, and with no problems?

Thank you both for your help, greatly appreciated....

Nope, I dont know if one exists or not, best to ask on the vba forum.

Skydiver10 10-29-2009 06:58 PM

Hey Paul... I will install and run both then, by your recommendation, thank you.

Is it overkill to have both? By the way, a high profile spammer tried to register and I used your track guests mod to grab his IP and the user name he used, I then dropped his IP in my htaccess file.

Sorry if I gave you too much information but it can be frustrating when hackers attack 24/7/365 with automated software, and you just want and need help from people who have already been through this, like you. What mods do you use, and have you been able to defend them off with no damage since you have developed a working plan?

Thank you again for all of your mods. :) I have a question about the firewall mod you developed. I read the entire discussion on it, and I'm still wondering if I should install it on my board. Does it need to be completely redone or fixed?

What other types of firewall mods are available for VB?

Thank you Paul. I've asked and searched over there with no avail. Hopefully someone will make one. I'm not a programmer, but I'll try to make one too.

I have never done a firewall mod.

Hi!!!

Does this work in VB4.0? ;)

Thanks

JHC 12-04-2009 08:11 PM

Hi Paul, thanks for making a great mod.

I have a couple questions, and I hope it makes sense.

1) How can I keep a permanent log of these guest visits?
I have it set to rolling 24 hour & clean up period at 365, but it's wiping it out after a couple days.

2) Is there a file somewhere I could download the list of guest visits?
Maybe FTP in and get it or something?

Thanks in advance!

Paul M 12-05-2009 06:52 PM

1. If you have the clean up set to 365 then it will keep a years worth, however it wont display them as thats limited to 500 (or 1000 ?) in the settings.

2. They are stored in a database, so no, you cannot download them via FTP.

A word of warning - a years worth of data could be a huge amount of data to keep, esp if you are getting a few hundred per day.

Thanks you or the reply. Are they stored in a table that I can export from sql? Then review them in an editor. I only set it at 365 temporarily to make shure none got erased. And I know this may sound stupid, but what the use of setting the clean up if you can't view them later anyway? But anyway, thanks again!

Paul M 12-05-2009 10:26 PM

Yes you could export the data from mysql (guest & guestviews).
