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As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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

While in debug mode it was showing the templates as non cached. I fixed it by doing the following.

PHP Code:

if ($show['trg'])
{
    $cache[] = 'Display_Members' ;
    $cache[] = 'Display_Members_User' ;
} 


Change to

PHP Code:

if ($show['trm'])
{
    $cache[] = 'Display_Members' ;
    $cache[] = 'Display_Members_User' ;
}

Ah.

It would have been helpful if you had been more specific in the first place.

There is indeed a bug there, it looks like all the cache code is using trg, not trm.

Edit: Fixed in 4.0.8.

[ImmortalForums]

Thank you for fixing it. :-)

I have set up a forum which is password protected.
Will this mod allow me to track members who have been provided with the password in this forum?
Will it enable me to see if anyone else is using the password to gain access to the forum?
Thanks.

[Paul M]

Yes, you would be ale to see if they had viewed the forum, or any threads within it.

[kennykre]

Paul, would it be a good idea to set up the members of this forum as a specific user group?

[kennykre]

I have installed the mod and set permissions, which obviously allows members to view the stats.
Is there a way that I can set it up so that I am the only one who can see the stats?
Thanks

[Paul M]

Not sure what you mean by "the stats", but all permissions are usergroup based.
