Track Guest Visits

As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

This tracks the number of guests that have visited a forum each day. This isn't possible in stock vbulletin as no record is kept of guest visits, they are a 'realtime' display only.

This modification adds another section to the "What's Going On" area.
It also has seperate pages to display (1) the list of guests, and (2) the pages a particular guest has visited

Options / Features ;

* The ability to turn the whole modification on/off.
* The ability to turn just the forumhome display on/off.
* The ability to allow (or prevent) certain usergroups viewing the forumhome display.
* The ability to switch between 'Today' and Rolling 24 Hours display (default).
* The script that the Guest is running is logged (e.g. showthread, usercp etc).
* The request variables in use are logged (e.g. threadid, userid etc).
* The guest table can be cleaned of old records to help control it's size.
* The datastore read (for spider detection) will read from the File/APC/Xcache datastore if used [note, not Memcache].
* Guest Views data collection - tracking each guests viewing of the forum index page, forums and threads.
* Guest Views data collection can be separately disabled.
* Multiple guest visits to the same page are logged separately.
* The option to keep a record of [and display] the most ever guests.
* Usergroup permissions are done with the standard vbulleten usergroup permissions system.
* Clicking on the main display icon will list the recent visits by all guests (if allowed).
* Clicking on a Guest type in the main display will list all recent visits by guests of that type (again, if allowed).
* Clicking on the option in the guest listing will show that guests viewing data (if enabled, and allowed).
* The main display can be set as always collapsed on initial page load (4.0.3 +)

Four new usergroup permissions are provided in the usergroup manager.

* Can View the Guests Visited Display - Members can view the guests visited display on Forumhome.
* Can View Guest IP Addresses - Members can see the ip addresses of visiting guests.
* Can View Guest Visits List - Members can view the list of guest visits page.
* Can View Guest Tracking Data - Members can view the individual guest visit tracking page.

* All (non usergroup) modification settings are in vBulletin Options > Guest Tracking.

To install (or upgrade);

Unzip the files.
If upgrading from a previous version, delete any old trg bitfield xml files from your ../includes/xml/ folder.
Upload the new bitfields file to your ../includes/xml/ folder.
Import the product into vBulletin using the ACP Product Manager.
Set your required permissions in the usergroup manager.

Note that by default no usergroup permissions are given, you must set them.

You can get an improved Spiders Definition file from this post.

Note: For Spider detection to work you must set Enable Spider Display to 'Yes' in vBulletin Options > Who's Online Options.
The installation code will turn this on for you.

It is recommended that you visit your Who's Online page after installing this mod (or after updating your spiders file) to make sure your spider definitions are built / rebuilt.

Tagged, this is one ive been coming here everyday looking for. Awesome to see it ported to 4.0

Paul its possible to add in this mod a option for Guest visit "x" number of threads?

If the "x" number of threads its exceded, a Messege shown in for login or register (based in cookies).

I remember one mod for make this in vb3 but dont works 100% in vb4 :(

Sorry for my english
Sorry for my wishlist, i think this zone is only for say thx u! and report bugs xD

I just installed this and now my whole forum is down with this fatal error:

Code:

Fatal error: Call to a member function query_write() on a non-object in /home/oshelpde/public_html/includes/class_bootstrap.php(691) : eval()'d code on line 98

I can't even login to admin panel to uninstall it. Any suggestions?

EDIT:
Found solution, giving this mod a big thumbs down

getting same bootstrap error... subscribing to thread and awaiting a fix

Tagging this waiting for other users problems to be solved first. Been waiting for this one to get updated.

i got same error !!

any help with mod plzz ?

NEW MEXICO MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARY

My solution was to add this to the top on config.php: right after: <?php

Code:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

To disable Hooks, then uninstall this mod

Mods have beta tags for a reason. Sometimes they have bugs ;)

Sorry, not sure how that one managed to creep in undetected, but should be fixed in 4.0.0.3

Unfortunately, if you cannot login to the acp due to the error then you will have to edit your config file as above in order to disable the faulty hook before you can replace it.

I really need some more coffee.

I upgraded from Coffee to Monster BFC's about 2 litters a day. haha i bet im rotting my guts but hey if it makes me a better coder im all for it.
-------------------
ETA: Installed and working like a champ.

Thanks works great..

Posted in the mod description:

Quote:

Due to be completed in later release(s) ;

* Clicking on a Guest type in the main display will list all recent visits by guests of that type (if allowed).
* Clicking on the option in the guest listing will show that guests viewing data (if enabled, allowed).

At the moment, anyone trying to use these display options will simply get a no permissions page, even if they technically have permission to view them. Note that the data for these pages will still be collected (if enabled), it is simply the display I havent completed yet.

Please read the description, especially the green text, and as highlighted in post #15. ;)

Beta 5 (4.0.0.5)

This adds the Guest List display, either for all types or individual types.

The Guest Views Display is still disabled. Unless any bugs are found over the next day, it will be added in the next release (which should be the final version).

Edit: Updated to Beta 6, due to an ip display issue.

Awesome Paul,

Thanks,

as all ways man your mods are grate :-)

Those are mysql connection and system errors, I dont see how they could be related. The query in the first one is totally unrelated to this mod, it deleting a record from the adminutil table.

Thanks Paul. :)

Great Mod as usual. :up:

Installed and waiting for the gold version.... :D
