Administrative and Maintenance Tools - User Activity Logging

USER ACTIVITY LOGGING.

Description:
This Mod will (eventually) allow you to track a users activity from any script within vB or its addons ... well at least those that make use of the Hook features.

Background:
I have seen various requests around for some form of user logging but never been able to find an actual Mod. As we had a need for this on our site I decided to write my own.
I have been working with vB for a couple of years now (and a php coder for a lot more) and made use of a number of other coders Mods, both as they had been released or customized to suit our own purposes. Although not a very active poster here at vBorg, it is one of my regular visits.

Installation:
Standard Product Import using the AdminCP.
No template changes.
Optional (for AdminCP Log Viewer):
- Upload contents of zip file

Upgrade:
Will be as above, but select 'Overwrite'

Features:
Database and/or Thread notification of activity
Selectable Forum for Thread notification
Selectable posting User for Thread notification
On/Off for each logging area
AdminCP Log Viewer/Pruner
Additional thread option for logging all Log-ins and outs

Current Logging Areas:
showthread - logs when a user views a thread (this is currently the only one I am using and I am actually happy with)
forumdisplay - logs when a user views the forumdisplay script
search - logs when a user makes a search
editpost - logs when a user edits a post
log-ins/log-outs - logs successful and unsuccessful log-ins and log-outs
profile views - logs when a user views the 'member profile' page

ChangeLog:
v1.0.6 (28 Nov,2007) - incorporated IPAddress tracking as provided by dartho (thanks )
v1.0.5 (16 May,2007) - added profile viewing both for 'logged users' and 'all user to a separate thread'. No admincp file update required. NB: Check options after upgrading.
v1.0.4 (07 May,2007) - added log-in/out logging both for 'logged users' and 'all user to a separate thread'. No admincp file update required.
v1.0.3 (27 April, 2007) - Corrected 1 thread per logged user issue, added 'editpost' logging area
v1.0.2 (25 April, 2007) - Check for deleted thread & added AdminCP Log Viewer
v1.0.1 (24 April, 2007) - Error in XML
v1.0.0 (24 April, 2007) - Initial release

Future Enhancements?:
Additional logging areas (just ask and I'll look in to it)
[S]Viewable log transcripts taken from database entries[/S] - completed
Usergroup logging

Thanks To:
All those other coders whose Mods I have installed and learned from

Note: This is the first Mod I have actually released here (or anywhere), so please go easy on me
Hopefully I have the Product URL and Version Checking URL links right.

Sorry but can't find the options for this mod. Can anyone tell me where to find them?

[dirtycrow]

any plans for a 3.7 version?

[silurius]

Is this add-on maintained? Waiting for 3.7 version as well.

[dartho]

I already had this installed pre-upgrade, and it continues to work for me.

[Madbatty]

Did someone may know why this hack only counts until User ID 1400 ???

[RobParker]

Does this work for the 3.7? Earlier posts suggest yes and no so a bit unclear.

[RobParker]

Ah I think maybe I misunderstand.

What I wanted to do was to see which users were reading threads the most, who kept hitting F5 to refresh, etc.

This looks like it only tracks a specified user, what I thought it was was that it logged every user.

That's not what this does is it?

[TMSBrad]

Can it track a range of IPs? I want to know if anyone from a certain company is on my boards, so I'd like to log all users with, for example, an IP between 123.456.0.0 and 123.456.789.999.

I am having trouble getting this mod to work for me. From the zip file, I placed the userlog.php in the ./admincp directory and the XML file in the ./includes/xml directory as well as the product-userlogging.xml in the same ./includes/xml directory - all on my server. Using vBulletin's Product Manager, I imported this product successfully (at least I didn't get any errors). I created a new forum (all permissions granted for testing purposes) so that my test users can view the logs. I then went to vBulletin options and found the User Logging - completed the setup options for one or two users with all logging enabled (for testing only). I also verified that all of the pluggin's that I wanted to use had 'hooks' assigned to them in the Plugin Manager. After logging in as the test users and trying to create logs for several days, I still do not have any logs to view - either in the forum or in the control panel. I don't know what I am doing wrong. Then I thought ,"Can this mod be used for vBulletin 3.8?" I would really like to have user logging for 3.8 and this mod sounds just like what I need. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks in advance

Anyone tested this on vb 4? Is it working?
