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As of 24 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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.

Dear Paul,

Thanks for your always great mods,
I installed this one but I have a little problem here,
It seems this mod conflicts with Members who have visited today and I can't install and use both of them concurrently.

Yours sincerely

[Paul M]

Correct, one replaces the other, as the big brown message says

So, what's the solution buddy?

[Paul M]

There is no solution, its by design. This is a replacement for WVT.

Any pointers as to what else could be wrong ?

Nothing has appeared in my footer (I am using default skin), does anyone has screenshot how this mod works ? Shall I expect an additional line item as in who has visited today ?

That shouldn't be possible in mysql, I would suggest you run a repair on the table.

Will there be a version of this for 4.x?

I'm holding off on upgrading until my favorite mods are available.

[Paul M]

It was released over six months ago. Just look in the 4.x section of my profile.

Great hack but one big problem. Although invisible users do not show on the forumhome list, it shows them when you click to see the detailed list. Not useful for an admin who would like to remain invisible to evrybody (including moderators) when you want your moderators to access this list.
