What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps me know how many people are using my work, giving me extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

I appreciate the support!

v1.0.0 Initial release.
v1.1.0 Added logging of usergroups ability.

[Skyrider]

Awesome! Though this would be really useful if it logs by usergroup(s) as well. Easier to set than setting it per userID.

[ozzy47]

So you think their is a whole usergroup that may be compromised?

[Skyrider]

Oh, no. There's a forum that I manage that often has people that attempts to scam other people (real money). It's Team Fortress 2 related. The more systems we have in place that logs IP's, shared account information, etc, the better. This would be a good system to have in place as well with the additional logging systems we have already.

[ozzy47]

Ok give me a bit, it should be a simple addition. I should have it done some time today.

[Skyrider]

Thanks, appreciate it.

[ozzy47]

Done. v1.1.0 Added logging of usergroups ability.

Remember to mark as installed if you are using the mod.

[Skyrider]

Installed, though out of curiosity. Isn't ozzmodz_log_login.log viewable for all if installed in root? I just tried it, and it just downloaded the *.txt file, of which anyone can download. Bit of a security risk. Can't the logs be placed under the AdminCP logs like other log statistics?

[ozzy47]

That is why you have the ability to rename it, the people would have to know the name of the file in order to see it.

[ozzy47]

So you can move the file into your admincp folder, then in the setting use this.

admincp/ozzmodz_log_login.log
