Oddly enough, it only seemed to work on my (busy) site the first time I checked. Ever since I posted a message telling people to check it out, it hasn't worked. No threads display at all. What could have gone wrong?

Sure, that's fine... the whole thing was ported FROM a vB3 version I had, but it was always designed for in-house use, so never really thought to keep a copy of the old one when we moved to vB4.

Do you have anything in the digitalpoint_spy table? That should be getting a new record as stuff is added. If not, make sure your plug-ins are enabled.

Hey Shawn. I imported the product XML but the Spy link doesn't show up.

Later edit: Found it. It's in the community submenu. Never figured to look it up there. I always thought it would be in the main navigation menu, right after What's new.

Cool, thanks Shawn :)

Can we speed up the display ? I keep closing and re-opening it and it always takes a lot of time to reach the fresh data.

Installed to test ... :up:

Thank you ... :)

I've had people make some new posts, but I see nothing showing up under the "Spy" function ... :confused:

Am I missing something that needs to be turned on?

I put spy.php in home directory and imported XML fine. It shows up on community menu and loads page, but there's no activity.

Badger

Edit: NM .. give me a coffee break and you have to retrain me ... :D

Love this!
Is there anyway to remove the link in the community dropdown altogether?
Or add an 'if admin'/'if moderator' conditional phrase to the link in the dropdown?
I looked in the navbar template but can't even find it to remove it.

EDIT: found it, so disabled the plug-in for navigation. But would still like to have it there or somewhere for admins and moderators only. Anyone have any idea what the 'if' conditional phrasing/coding would be to add to the navigation plug in?

Thanks ... :)

That's the same question I was going to ask .... :up:

It's not works with vBulletin 4.0.5

I got this error accessing the page:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{', expecting ')' in /home/patrick/public_html/includes/class_core.php(4010) : eval()'d code on line 32

Works fine for me, what error are you getting exactly?

There was a template parsing bug in the early versions of vB4 that was fixed in vB4.0.3. Upgrading to vB4.0.3 will fix it.

I like live mods in action, very cool.

I wonder if it would be possible to create a live stats mod
without having to refresh that shows stats, users, spiders, etc..
that would be cool.

Just confirming it works on VB 4.06 =)

Any ideas why I randomly get an "Unknown" in the Thread / Post part? it's weird.

Also, what's the advantage to using this over vaispy.php? I suppose it's optimized for larger forums?

Anyway, I went with digitalpoint's version cos I trust him, dude is awesome =)

edit: Disregard edited comment, it seems to happen with all sorts of users. Previously I thought it only happened to mods.

Anyway, Installed, tagged, nominated, voted etc ;)


edit again: Ok, this is just not working. About 3 out of 5 messages just show "Unknown", no link to the post, or thread, or some just link the thread title. Maybe related to 4.06?

Doesn't seem to be related to 4.0.6... it's what I use, and the spy version is the exact one posted here:

http://forums.digitalpoint.com/spy.php

Do you have any sort of mod that might delete posts from the post table? Like something that might delete one and merge it into another post automatically? That could cause problems because by the time the spy outputs it, the postid no longer exists in the post table.

This is the only other plugin I use: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=2083347

I don't think it changes postids...

Not really sure why it would do that unless the postid in the spy table didn't match up to one in the post table. I suppose if you want to try to debug it, go look in the spy table and make sure one of the results that spews "Unknown" has a postid matching up to one in the post table.

looking very nice, tagged this post to install it later

red-dna.net/forum/spy.php
Is not getting any posts, any help?

tnx installed it 4 sure

installed and looks nice one ....thank you :)

working great on 4.0.5

thanks! :)

might be a dumb question but what is the proper way to have it only load 5 items on launch? I don't mind a long list once it gets rolling in real time but my members get a bit confused when it loads the initial batch. They think "whoa, i can't keep up with this activity it's too crazy" and close it down.

is the table inside database gonna occupy gigabytes in future ? any chance to drop records every while ?

The table already manages itself and never gets large.

Hi there, nice plugin.
However i am missing a time data field, or did i missed something ?

There is no time field since things are happening in real time, it's all pretty much "now".

Got it working. My fault. Is there a way to exclude Threads and/or Forums?

Installed, thanx

v4.0.6

Seems to work fine so far.

Issue with language encoding .. I get ????? ???????? on thread/post titles and also on user names

That?s similar to what I?m looking for: Using this Mod in a Forum Sidebar.

Works with VB 4.0.7, thank you!

I also have problem with blank page. I checked and I have spy template.

Also blank Page

I have it installed and works with preregistered users. How ever I created an RSS User and for what ever reason the RSS Feed posts on the forums are not showing up in Spy.

How do I get the RSS User News Bot's posts to show up on Spy?

Please assist, I would really like the RSS Feed posts to show up on Spy.

Thank you!

Are there no ACP options for this? Working great and as described on my forum, But i cant find any mention of this in the ACP other then the templates..

By the way thanks for this Installed and rated...

------------------------

ETA: This is installed on 3 forums.. working on 2 of the three one forum recieves this error above the header.. It just wont work on that particular forum.. although i also get similier errors on other plugins that open in their own pages. so im sure its not the fault of the plugin however any insight would be greatly appreciated.

If the RSS bot is not using the normal data manager for inserting data, it would not show up.

As for the array_merge issue, that would be coming from some other plug-in you have installed. A plug-in you have at the global_start is causing it... the Spy doesn't come with anything at that hook location, so can't really help you there, except to point you in the right direction.

I am not using a mod or hack for the RSS feed I am using the RSS feed set up in the base vBulletin ACP. I just assigned a User Name to make the posts in a specific forum.

For what ever reason the posts do show up on the "What's New" page. However do not show up on the "Spy" page.

Then the internal RSS feed system isn't inserting data via the data managers. The Spy system can only track data that is coming in via the normal data managers since there are hook locations there that allows you to intercept/read the data being inserted.
