Ive got the mod installed, the Correrct XML uploaded to the includes/xml folder, and have imported the product ok. But im not getting the permissions options apearing in the usergroup permissions bit. I know where it should be located, as ive had previous installations working fine, but i just dont seem to be able to get this one to work. Any ideas or suggestions?

Try manually rebuilding the bitfields ;

..../forumpath/admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields

How would I put this on my cmps page?

I am wondering the same thing. How do you put this on your CMS page.

Thanks

Works great thanks...

Nice mod. I installed it, but had to disable it due to some problems.. Followed the directions to a T and it works fine for my admin usergroup.. However, the guest (unregistered) usergroup will not display the guest visit stats no matter when I set their group permissions to.

Paul, I executed ...do=buildbitfields as you suggested but still don't see any permission options in any usergroup. This is my first ever product/add-on so I may well have botched it. The instructions are pretty clear though...

Downloaded the zip file
Unziped the XML files.
Uploaded the bitfields file to my ../includes/xml folder.
Imported the product into vBulletin using the ACP Product Manager.
Set your required permissions in the usergroup manager.

Executed ..../forumpath/admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields form the command line

Still can't see any permissions in any usergroup in the usergroup manager.

I'm running a vanilla 3.7.1 package with the exception of a custom Logo, color customizations, and minor modifications that I've made to the FORUMHOME template.

Well you must have made an error somewhere along the line, but without access to your forum acp and ftp, there is no way for me to tell you what. :)

As always....awesome hack Paul. :D

What's today's update?

Thanks for the update! Installed

Great Mod.....Works perfect with 3.71

thank you for your hard work

with allthe guest information that is logged, where can I view it. It was somewhere in the ACP or is it a file?

I had to temporarily uninstall this because it was conflicting with another plugin I had but now all my spiders in Who's online show up as guests. Why would this be? My spiders_vbulletin.xml still has all my entries in it. But everyone of them shows up as a guest.

Works very well but it made my server cry, had to remove it as my figures doubled

i think there is an issue: i don't know if this hack caused something ... however HERE i've got a feed-back from Jelsoft ...

OK i'm back, i just made some tests onto my boards, then i can say this:

it's really weird ... but now it seems to be correct (but i need more testing)

if you have changed the spiders.xml BEFORE upgrade this hack you must uninstall this hack and you also must put the default spiders.xml, then you can re-install this hack, see if it detects correctly the main spiders (like google or yahoo!) and after that you can put the dream's .xml ...

if you install this hack with dream's or default spiders.xml enabled magically all the spiders lose their name (so you can't catch them onto WOL or guests display) ... so we must re-upload the spiders file (dream's or default it's the same) again ...

also i've tried onto a fresh board WITHOUT this hack, i've only substitute the default .xml with dream's and it didn't recognize the new spiders (like snapshots), so i take the default .xml and i've only added manually the snapshots ident, then i saw if this runs and i can get the snapbot onto WOL ... yes it runs, now it recognized the new spiders, then and finally i've re-changed the default .xml with dream's file and it still recognized the new spiders ... after this i put Paul's hack onto my testing/fresh board and it runs ...

hope you can understand what i wrote :p

Hey, Paul, after updating this plugin to 3.7.004 I started receiving the following error via AJAX Edit Post.

(Note: I'm using the full formatted YUI and vBulletin Javascript files, not the minimized versions. However, this error appeared before I switched the JS files.)

I also have "Code Option" set to "Run Code on all pages"

I've temporarily disabled this plugin for now, however it is a nice plugin and will Enable it again when a patch is served. :)

Thanks for this Paul, I think you've created something that hasn't been recognised for its potential in Spamming Prevention...!

This MOD actually logs activities performed on the registration page, and it is here where SpamBots fail the CAPTCHA image process. What I've proposed on vBulletin.com, and requested as a MOD in the Unpaid Mod Requests section on here (I know, I'm skint!) is something that places all new registrations into a table, and from there, the new users can be marked as spammers (for moderation on their posts), or moved into the memberlist should they succeed the registration process.

Your MOD --> Track Guest Visits <-- has a lot more potential than just tracking guests.

Track Guest Visits is my new piece of heavy duty Get Stuffed Spammer kit.

Seriously, it truely is great work.!

Sorry, but I can edit posts just fine, and tbh, if it was really an issue, I think it would have been reported before now. You must have something wrong locally. Try removing it and then re-installing it.

A suggestion for future release of this product.

Link the IP addresses similar to 'whos online' (so they resolve in the page), or to acp so admin (only) can inspect the IP address and cross reference it to past member activity or similar.

Otherwise and in all ways, an excellent release.

A statistic would be nice which record the score of the user visits today and show them in a grafical diagram.
Perhaps will this in a feature version available.

Hi Paul,

This is just the mod I need as I have a lot of guests, so it'd be cool to track them.

My question is: can you add this to vbadvanced cmps (3.1)? I'm running vbadvanced and was just wondering how to tie your mod into their 'Online Users' mod.

Many thanks!

Sorry, I cant help with VBA questions - I suggest you try their forum. :)

Thanks Paul,

Cool mod! I disabled vbadvanced and i've got it working now.

Cheers!

thanks!

I believe you would setup and add this MOD as a module in the VBA control panel in your Admin CP... there are options to add PHP files and templates as sections in your vBA_CMPS page, such as is the Birthday box, or Statistics that come pre packaged with VBA.

Not sure you would need to disable vBAdvanced, though!?

I'd do it myself if I knew how. :(

Thanks Frog,

I don't know how to do it either :confused: - I had a look atvbadvanced forums for info about adding a separate mod/php page, but didn't really find an 'easy-1-2-3' guide so I just disabled vbadvanced.

Cheers!

very nice, installed :)

Ok, I couple of posts here that had trouble with this not showing in permissions ....

I'm having the same trouble - installed as instructed and tried the /admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields fix .... but still not showing in permissions

Uninstalled and reinstalled and still not showing in permissions .... rebuilt bitfields again and still not showing ........

Anything else to try before I give up???

Try copying the bitfields file to the correct place ?

it's in the /includes/xml

sorry it's not on the site in my signature - it's at Oz Toyota Club


rotor

mmm it's working ok now!! After checking my ftp log I must have just gone to upload it but never did :o

ok all working fine now ... thanks

Working ok on both sites now ....

Having the same issue with no permissions found under USERGROUP MANAGER. Im not to familiar with the mods for this is my first vBulliten go around in the last 3 years and alot has changed.

woohoo! Got it working.

Thank you.

Installed, working great, EZ 1 minute install. Thank you.

Hi

I want to just show certain users the guest stats but nothing else, what should I leave ticked and unticked? allso on my Forums it sais quest visits not Guest visits in the stats box, is this normal?

Thanks in advance.

You can only control what usergroups can view it, by setting the permissions in the usergroup manager.

For SEO purposes would it be better if I enabled guests ect. ect. to view the guest list? at the moment I only have them set to view the stats.
