You know what I miss from the old-style BBS's? The activity logs! I would love it if someone made a Log system for vB 3.01!!!

I'm talking about something that would be completely date and time stamped and show the following stuff:

1. Logins

Username
User ID
Date
Time
IP Address
Alternate IP, if behind a proxy that indicates the IP behind it

2. Logoffs

Username
User ID
Date
Time
IP Address
Alternate IP, if behind a proxy that indicates the IP behind it
Indicate whether this was a Manual Logoff, or a Timed Out Session.

3. New Threads

Username
User ID
Date
Time
IP Address
Alternate IP, if behind a proxy that indicates the IP behind it
Thread ID
Thread Name
SubForum ID it was posted in
SubForum Name it was posted in

4. New Posts

Username
User ID
Date
Time
IP Address
Alternate IP, if behind a proxy that indicates the IP behind it
Thread ID
Thread Name
SubForum ID it was posted in
SubForum Name it was posted in
Post ID

5. Edited Posts

This hack can either append all of the data to a Text File, or if there is better performance by having it put all of this into the database, than that's fine too.

However, although not necessary - I'm sure some people would find it convenient if there was a way to configure which of the five items listed above will actually be logged. Some people might only need/want Login/Logoff information, while others might want the full shebang. This can either be configured via Text File, Database Entry, or simply the hack instructions clearly indicating what parts to put in for what functionality.

So, how does all of this sound? Does this sound like something that other people would like to have as well?

Is someone willing to take a stab at it?

No one else wants this? I'm honestly surprised!

I'd love to see this hack to be released.

database structure would be:

Code:

TABLE activitylog

FIELD
activitylogid int(10)
userid int(10)
dateline int(10)
script varchar(250)
action varchar(250)
forumid int(10)
threadid int(10)
postid int(10)
extrainfo varchar(250)
ipaddress  varchar(25)
proxyipaddress varchar(25)
useragenr varchar(250)

This can work like adminlog, moderatorlog, or sessions

I sometime want to suspect some "to be watched" one, so if the log is too big (for big forums), I just want to log activity for some given userid (that given in config or somewhere)

SomeoneYouKnow · #7 07-29-2005, 03:39 PM

I've been scouring the forums for something like this too

derekivey · #8 07-29-2005, 04:15 PM

Yeah, I would be interested in a hack like this. Can anyone make something like it?

Biker_GA · #9 07-29-2005, 04:43 PM

I, too, have needed something like this. Not for all members, but something I can turn on for a specific user.
