Moderator Activity Logging (updated)

<font size="3">Moderator Activity Log for 2.x</font>

Disclaimer:

-No support is offered for this hack. If you PM or email for support, it will be joyfully ignored. When I have time, I will answer questions in this thread.

** FREE LICENSE ** You must leave the header and footer intact.

Design Spec:

Track moderator and admin activites including: closing, opening, moving, and deleting threads. You are able to set the number of logs you view at one time and you can focus down to just one moderator by clicking on their name.

Installation (never had ModLog installed):

-upload install_modlog.php to your admin directory
-upload modlog.php to your admin directory
-run install_modlog.php, follow instructions
-delete install_modlog.php

Installation (have a previous version running successfully):

-upload modlog.php to your admin directory

Changes from the previous version:

-now has a fancy install routine instead of boring text instructions. Installing will now be easier and more fun!

-puts a link on the left side of your Admin CPanel under Admin Logs

Works on:

-vB 2.2.1
-untested on everything else but should work with the whole 2.x line and even 1.x if you figure out the postings.php modifications.

How can I have this viewable in the mods cp?

Hi...

this is a great Hack.. but one further question.. is it possible to log deletion of postings within a thread also?

Nevermind about my question, I got it doing it, incase anyone else wants mods to be able to see this too:

Open modlog.php,

Search for 'Clear all logs'

delete that.

Upload modlog.php to root/mod

enter a link to modlog inside mod/index.php

This then removes the mods ability to delete their logs, and also means they can see it incase of argument.

I would like to know why is there a 5 in this add on, it seems to create a problem....

Installed on 2.2.4 Very nice and needed. Thanks!

Now if we only had a post recycle-bin for deleted posts and threads. Would be a nice addition.

This addition would be very helpful

One of our mods has been going round deleting posts, not threads and they don't get logged, so I can't work out who.

Once I find out they're ganna be slapped back down to Registered Member, but this would help a lot.

Wonderful hack Overgrow.

When i ran the install I got a mysql error because of modlog table already existing in the vB database. MY vB version is 2.2.5. Does this hack not work with 2.2.5?

Here is the error exactly as it says,

Database error in vBulletin Control Panel 2.2.5:

Invalid SQL: CREATE TABLE modlog (
		   type tinyint(1) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
		   userid int(10) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
		   threadid int(10) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
		   threadtitle varchar(100) NOT NULL,
		   fromforumid smallint(5),
		   toforumid smallint(5),
		   timestamp int(11) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL
		)
mysql error: Table 'modlog' already exists

mysql error number: 1050

Should I delete the current table in there and start over? Thanks for any help from anyone.

[Overgrow]

Did they add this feature with 2.2.5? Or maybe the forum you're working on already had the old version installed?

If you had a previous version installed, you don't need to do any table modifications-- it is the same table schema as the previous version.. just upload modlog.php to your admin directory and create an entry for it on the left hand side menu of your Cpanel.

hth~

This is for yaxay. And I checked the modlog table in mysql and it has some threads in it. Looks like all the threads I have deleted in the past, and the userid of who deleted it.

Here is a sshot:



So I guess this was added in 2.2.5?
