Forum Home Enhancements - Member Visit Tracking

As of 24 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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 "Who has visited" modification. 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.

Note that installing this will automatically remove the "Members Who Have Visited Today" modification.

Options / Features ;

* The ability to turn it on/off.
* The ability to turn just the display on/off.
* The ability to allow (or prevent) certain usergroups viewing the display.
* The ability to run the display code on all pages (not just forumhome).
* The ability to switch between 'Today' and Rolling 24 Hours display (default).
* The list of members can be set to be always collapsed on initial view.
* 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.
* Controls for the automatic template update system.
* 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 a member in the main display will show that members viewing data (if enabled, and you have permission).
* Usergroup permissions are done with the standard vbulleten usergroup permissions system.
* Clicking on the "Total members that have visited" line will list all members who have visited and their last action.
* The option to keep a record of [and display] the most ever members can be enabled.

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.

Great Mod Paul, But im wondering if you might have any idea why it would show in every instance except one "Viewing Home Page"? Ive been all over my forum in testing this and the home page (vBadvanced) was not one of the pages i was ever on. However that the only place it says ive been.

[Paul M]

Home is actually the Forum Home, not vbadvanced.

Since I have no idea how vba works, maybe its interferring somehow.

Most likely the style you are using is missing the template hook.

Seems to be there ?

PS. Does'nt seem to be working in the default style either ...

Any pointers as to what else could be wrong ?

[oldlock]

I found out what was wrong, my brain ! Or rather lack of it. Seeing that I have this great mod working on other sites one would assume that I could remember how to use it ! (Doh).

All working fine now.

Thanks

Thanks Paul, Everything seems to have straightened itself out overnight.

Hi Paul,

Got a quick question, can you modify this mod to have it a tab next to 'statistics' in the member's profile to show their tracked data in?

Thanks in advance!

[Paul M]

I think thats unlikely, but I wont completely dismiss it atm.

(It certainly wont happen in any 3.x version).

Installed great no errors as of yet for me though I will report any I find.

Is possible to tracking this: "send pm", "reply to", etc, in misc.php?do=memberview&member=xxx
