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As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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

Hi Paul, maybe i've discovered a trouble with this product ... many times when i try to check the users' log i got this message 'No Data Found to Display', but if the log-on i must see at least the 'forumhome' in their logs ...

so i think that they log-on directly in the social groups page (an invited SG), can you check this point please? i think there is something wrong ...

thanks

[Paul M]

There is nothing wrong

As the description says ;

Member Views data collection - tracking each members viewing of the forum index page, forums and threads.

If they do not visit the homepage, or a forum, or a thread, then there will be no tracking data.

ah OK maybe can you add the socialgroups? it's great if you add the SGs also for the inactive/lurker users Paul, cause they aren't lurker or inactive if they post in the social groups ...

If I have the motivation, then maybe I will look at this one day - however, the simple fact is that these mods (like almost all of mine) are primarily written for my forum, and then shared here - and we only use the forums, not social groups, or visitor messages, or blogs, or CMS (in fact, we dont use vb4). So there is not much call for me to spend my limited time on such things.

Installed, thanks very much for the great mod.

hi Paul, i found an incongruence ... in this phrase (trm_members_today) i found this for my lang (italian):

<a href='misc.php?do=memberlist'>Total members that have visited the forum today:</a> {1}

but not for the default lang (your english) ... what's wrong?

ps. in the pic you can see what i can see with the italian lang.

[Paul M]

Im not sure what the question is here.

trm_members_today is one of this mods phrases.

Paul, i used the APM (advanced product management) hack that allows me to check all the phrase in a product ... (you can check the pic)

maybe this phrase was in the older version (you know that i've upgraded directly from the 3.8.5 and i had some troubles with your products)

[Paul M]

That phrase is in all versions.
