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As of 24 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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

[Paul M]

Yes.

That was corrected in the vb4 release, but remains in the older 3.8 version.

[Cybershaolin]

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the quick answer. Would it be possible for you to tell me how to fix it for 3.8 version as I did not move on 4.X? This would be really appreciated. I could fix it myself with some instructions if it's not too hard.

[Paul M]

Its not that simple - it needs a set of extra code adding.

[Cybershaolin]

I see, well, as I don't plan to upgrade to 4.X, I guess I'm gonna have to live with it. Anyhow, thanks for your great hacks and if the envy comes to you to find a way about this little problem, I would be really glad for sure.

[DigitalCop]

Excellent MOD!!! Exactly what I have been searching for!

Is there a way to change the 24 hour period to 48 hours?
