Installed and operational.
Good stuff :up:

Somehow I get this error on all my forums since last week.


Any ideas what could cause this, Ive tried to reinstall it and still the same thing.

Error 127 is basically a crashed table, try running a repair on it.

Alternatively, uninstall the mod, delete the guestviews table and then re-install - that will recreate the table.

Is it possible to make it so that duplicate IP's don't get multiple entries?

Also, is there anyway to track visits to the photo album pages? As far as I can tell it just says "picture."

No, they should be recorded.

Possibly in the future, if I have time. I dont use photo albums, or the social networking features, so they are not included atm

Why? As it stands 1 person views 40 pages and it's displayed as 40 visitors. It's very misleading.

No, it isnt. I suggest you check again, more than just the IP is involved in recognising a visitor.

How is that this can show 1200+ visitors excluding spiders and google analytics will show 300 pageviews?

I cannot comment on what Google Analytics does.

Ok the guest list is too long.. How do I make pages instead of one long list? I'm in vboptions--->guest tracking. There are 2 settings..

Guest List Row Limit
The maximum number of rows to display on the guest list screen.
set as 1000

Guest Views Row Limit
The maximum number of rows to display on the guest views screen.
set as 500

What do i have to change to make it paginate??

OK i changed guest row limit to 100, now the list is 100 rows but does not paginate over 100 lines.. anyone help??

Guest view row limit is still at 500. ..what is the difference between guest list row limit and guest views row limit??

They are two seperate views, one is the list of all guests, the other is all the views a single guest has made. There is no paging in this mod, whatever you set the limits too.

Great mod...thanks for sharing !

I'm having a problem and thought I would ask...

The hack worked perfectly until earlier this week when I was hacked. In the process of repairing the server, I went ahead and upgraded vB from 3.7 to 3.73. Now, the guest tracking doesn't show up on forumhome though all settings are the same as before the hack.

I uninstalled then reinstalled earlier today and it did show up on forumhome but was followed with a database error. Now, it's not showing up again.

Any ideas?

Did you remember to copy the bitfields file to the XML folder when you upgraded ?

I did. I should have copied the database error to post here. I may try to recreate the error.

Not sure how to word this one lol...

When you access the forum you are a visitor...until you log in then you are a member.

I have the 'track visitors' mod installed and I was wondering, does the visitors count change when you eventually log in, i.e. -1.

No, the visitor count will not decrease, you were a valid visitor at the time.

Disregard, it's working fine. :cool:

thanks - installed very useful

hello paul.
how to modif this guest visit with member visit.
so in forum home we have :
Total members that have visited the forum today: 2,087 guest: 4,982

thx

I believe I have found a bug:

How can the most guest be 220 "today" when today I only have 135? I believe that should say "Yesterday" (in red).

Excellent.
Paul, can you change the words: to It clarifies a bit for new users...
Meanwhile, I just installed it and enjoying to see it work on www.lovechandigarh.com Love Chandigarh

Seems reasonable, changed.

Possibly, but if there is such a bug then its in the standard vbdate() function, as that is what creates that timestamp. The code is identical to that used by default vb for the "Currently Active Users" timestamp. I think its just related to members having different timezones.

Sorry, they are seperate mods, such changes are beyond the support I can provide.

I have a problem with editing posts, when this add-on is turned on. I get an error message which says 'maxloggedin'. I have seen two other posts where a similar problem has been reported, one in this thread and the other in your Member Tracking Mod. Other people don' t seem to have this problem. What could be the reason for this problem?

No idea, and since I cannot re-create it, there is not much I can do.

Great work!

I would like to ask you if it is possible to have this on my home:
Currently Active Users: 20 (8 members and 12 guests) - Total Visitors Today (or last 24 hours): {param}

The reason is that I do not want to let all members see the spiders, only the administrator.
If I uncheck the spiders feature in VBA option the administrator won't see them either

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
