Miscellaneous Hacks - Download Log (for Attachments) by BOP5 (VB 4.x)

Brought To You By BirdOPrey5 / Qapla.com

This is the FREE version of my Download Log mod. Check out the GOLD VERSION for more features.

This mod is compatible with VB 3.8.x and VB 4.x.x.

Current Version 1.1.3
1.0 - Initial Release
1.1.1 - Fixed bug
1.1.3 - Critical Bug Fix

Live Demo: Attachment Download Log - JUOT - Joe's Ultimate Off Topic
Notes: Demo is on VB 3.8 forum. For demo I have enabled guest viewing of the logs, this is an option that can be turned off.

The purpose of this mod is to allow you to track what attachments get downloaded- All attachment downloads can be logged although by default the mod is configured not to track image attachments. Thumbnails are always ignored.

On each attachment download the following are logged:

• Username of Downloader
• IP Address of Downloader
• Filename of Attachment
• File size of Attachment
• Post # Attachment resides in
• Uploader of Attachment
• Date/Time of Download

Note- Attachments made outside of posts are still logged but post # is displayed as "N/A."

The FREE Version has the following features:

• Complete Attachment Download Log
• Sort Log by Username of Downloader, Username of Uploader, and Date/Time downloaded
• Automatically add link to Download Log to "Quick Links" only for users with permission to view the log
• Give permission to view the log based on Usergroups (primary or secondary)
• Optional scheduled task to delete old entries from the log
• Fully phrased for easy translation
• Prevent logging of duplicate downloads

The GOLD Version has the following additional features:

• Sort Log by Filename, File Size, Post #
• Clicking on attachment "Views" in a post will link user to the Log to see complete list of who downloaded that file
• Specify custom date and time formatting
• Give permission to view Download Log to specific users(by user id)

2 download & three pages

[BirdOPrey5]

I'm more concerned why the date is showing up as the PHP code instead of the actual date- did you do any editing to the file?

[mitch84]

uninstalled, je reviendrais quand cela marchera correctement

Updated to version 1.1.0 - Added a new option in settings to check for and disable logging of duplicate entries. A duplicate is when the same user tries to download the same file within 1 minute.

This new option is enabled by default.

To upgrade from 1.0 - Simply import the new product XML file, allow overwrite set to yes. Uploading the file is not necessary for this upgrade.

Updated to version 1.1.1. Fixes bug that allowed guests to view the download log even if you didn't give them permission.

Great Mod. My "QuickLinks" becomes unclickable though.

Maybe ill just keep the link private, because it works when type in the source

Is it possible to show the past downloads before adding this product, say like a week ago?

[BirdOPrey5]

No not possible because they aren't being recorded before the mod is installed.

What version of VB are you running that Quick Links becomes unclickable?

[dizzynation]

I am running 4.2 PL3

I have private forums for PRO members, can this record those logs as well?

[BirdOPrey5]

This will record all attachment downloads regardless of forum permissions.

Critical Bug Fix released- everyone should upgrade to version 1.1.3 ASAP.
