Forum Home Enhancements - 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As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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.

Hi, installed, but can see nothing in usergroups (manager). No change anywhere that I can see, exept for the cp/options/settings it is in there, so theyre all set up to go
any suggestions to why its not showing would be awesome.

Did you upload the bitfields file to the correct place on your server ?

Yes, uploaded again to make sure, it went up in binary mode, and chmod is 644 same as all other files in includes/xml/bitfield_trm.xml
when you say files, is there supposed to be more than one.?
I'm using version 4.1.8 and downloaded and used the Track-members.zip file

and just to be absolutely sure, I uninstalled in admin cp, and re-installed and still nothing.
I am looking for the extra fields in Usergroup manager. there is a config in admincp / settings/ options
Thanks for helping out here, I would really like to get this mod working.

I said file there is only one.

There isnt really much else i can tell you. If the file is in the correct place then (re)installing the product will rebuild the vb bitfields, and the options will show up. The only way that cannot happen is if the file isnt in the correct place.

Thanks anyway, re did everything and still nothing. I will wait a month and let the forum get some traffic through it and see what happens then.

this is not working on 4.1.9

an error message reporting

"not well formed" upon install

I have a small feature quest, Paul. I know you keep very busy, but I think this feature could help weed out some bad users.

I'd like to know when someone is viewing profiles and who's profiles their viewing.

Why?

I had a member who was viewing member's profiles and searching for contact info (in their profile), so they could contact members off site, to go else where (spam).

I think such a feature would be helpful in tacking down such things.

Any way to get this to track tapatalk members?

[Sovereign123]

Can anyone confirm if this is working for vB 4.1.10?

Thanks .

This works fine in 4.1.10.
