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As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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.

not working on my 4.2.1 :-s

This works just fine in 4.2.1, so I suggest you check you have it set-up correctly.

How can I track users? I don't get it where is the link to do member tracking on main forum display?

[Paul M]

Have you looked at the screenshots ?

The first one shows you the display (it now uses the Members Visited display).

Click on a members name, or the "Total members ......" message.

I don't know How but it works now.
Yes, I did check the screenshot, it was displaying default links before... that's why I replied here.

Paul, we are using 4.2.1 and we just see one screen when we click on the members name.

How do we access this screen?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...6&d=1263059572

As far as I know it is enabled everywhere in the ACP.

[Paul M]

If you dont get liked to that screen then you have missed a setting somewhere.

You must have "Enable Views Tracking" turned on in the mod options, and your usergroup must have the "Can View Member Tracking Data" permission (and obviously, "Can Use Member Tracking" as well).
