Member Visit Tracking
 

As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

This tracks the number of members that have visited the forum each day, and displays a list in the same manner as the Members Who Have Visited Today display. However, this also tracks a lot more data, such as the script (and request variables) run on their last visit, and all threads and forums visited.

Options / Features

* The script that the member is running is logged (e.g. showthread, usercp etc).
* The request variables in use are logged (e.g. threadid, userid etc).
* The member visits table can be cleaned of old records to help control it's size.
* Member Views data collection - tracking each members viewing of the forum index page, forums and threads.
* Member Views data collection can be separately disabled.
* Multiple member visits to the same page are logged separately.
* Clicking on the main display icon will list the recent visits by all members (if allowed).
* Clicking on a member in the main display will show that members viewing data (if enabled, and you have permission).
* Clicking on the "Total members that have visited" line will list all members who have visited and their last action.
* Usergroup permissions are done with the standard vbulleten usergroup permissions system.

Four new usergroup permissions are provided in the usergroup manager.

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

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


To install;

• Unzip the XML files.
• Upload the 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 permissions are given, you must set them.

Note: You must enable the [core] Visiting Members display, this mod hooks into that display, it does not duplicate the display for itself.

Excellent mod. Installed and five stars!

You are the BESTEST of the BEST!!! Five stars, installed :up::):rolleyes:

Nice!

Does this take some time to display on forumhome? Does everyone have access to the information?

great one again ... tagged

Thanks

First import (With Members Who Have Visited Today) = Screen filled with what looked like a datastore dump = Old one uninstalled, this one apparently not installed.

Re-importing worked fine.

Thanks for a great application installed

I've had it running for a bit but I see nothing on my forumhome.. hmmm

Very strange.... But hack...disappear! I don't see him in usergroup settings, i don't see him in forumhome. And before installation "Member Visit Tracking" i uninstall hack "Members Who Have Visited Today"

Thanks Paul. i was missing the extra functions of this bad boy.

You have to set the usergroup permissions for this since its doubtful youd want your members to see all the details this hack provides.

No, and No again.

Yep, looks like there was a small bug in the install code related to if you had ever installed a 3.x version of this, it will run fine on re-importing. Fixed in 4.0.2.

Yesssss! It's WORK! Thank you, genius! :)

I was using the wrong usergroup to test this with... working now... and it's probably one of my favourite mods :)

When I click on the user my page just reloads. What php file does it use to show the data? There was noone in the zip file??

misc.php [a standard vbulletin file].

You need to be a little more specific about your problem.

Thanks for this, Paul!

I noticed there was an extra textbox with the word "cron" in the AdminCP settings for Member Tracking. There is no description beside that textbox so I was wondering what that setting is for?

Also, is there a way to move this section under the "Currently Active Users" section at the top of the What's Going On Box? Right now it's showing up under the Track Guests section that I also have installed.

Paul I was thinking of installing this, If I had it only show for myself, and if I ran it on a busy site, would that be alright? or would this hack be too intensive for a big board?

Oh yes, the text has gone awol. I'll fix that tonight. Its the setting for what scripts should be ignored by the tracking system.

No. ATM it runs on a different (later) hook than the others, so appears last. I am aware of that and plan to change it at some point.

It runs happily on my site, which is quite busy. The overhead on this is quite small (nothing like the CMS for example ;))

Sorry, I have no idea what your saying.

Thanks, Installed

Okay, it does not matter

Sorry about that, it was late for me... Disregard... I thought when you clicked on the usernames it would produce the "List of Members" page but it doesn't it just reloads the forumhome page. I have found that I need to click on the icon next to "Total members that have visited the forum today" to view the list.

Brain farts happen...:o

Excellent, thanks Paul. Though theres a blank options category in my "Site Options" menu in acp, kinda weird. It's not this mods config menu though, which is another item.

installed. thank you

Its a great MOD, thanks!!

I would like to know which mysql database tables are beeing created upon installing.

And is there an easy way to manually clear the databases... or maybe even single entries ? Because I would like to track only a few users and delete all other records.

The tables are cleared of older records each night (as per the setting in the options).

I'm using VBSEO so the link on the username doesn't work. I get a 404 page not found

Im afraid I dont have vbseo installed on my vb4 test forums, so there isnt much I can tell you atm. Presumably vbseo is doing something to the link to break it.

Fantastic MOD, thank you Paul :)

Member visitor block is showing the numbers but not showing users names.
Permissions are set and everything else works great but the above.

Your collapse feature is behaving very strange, have you edited the Display_Members template in some way ?

No editing to the templates. Would it hurt to uninstall and reinstall, or wouldn't it make any difference.

That would make no difference, It appears you have some none standard javascript in use (animation js) which is changing the way collapse works - the result being it breaks the load collapsed functionality.

You're right on it!!! I found it, too bad though. YUI Animation Effects Product, disabled it. Works fine now :) :) :)

Thank you :)

Is there a way to keep it open rather then the default close?

Turn the load collapsed setting off (in the options).

Your animation will probably work as long as you dont use the load collapsed option.

Thanks!

But could you be a little more detailed ? There is an option called "Database Clean-up Period: Member records that have not been active in 'x' days will be deleted. This helps keep down the size of the table."

That means that the tracking data of all members, who have not logged in since X days, will be deleted, right? What about the data of members who log in every day ?

I think I can't see..... :( I can't find the setting, I think you mean outside the "Member Visit Tracking" options. A hint would be appreciated :) :) :)

How about an option in the "Member Visit Tracking" options "Collapse Display" Yes or No ? Or set the default for open?

Thanks I appreciate your help. I want this to work :) :) :)
