Forum Home Enhancements - Member Tracking

This modification is no longer available or supported.

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.



History:

v3.7.001 : Initial vb 3.7 release.
v3.7.002 : List and view time cutoff options added.
v3.7.003 : Tracking of visits to archive pages added.
v3.7.004 : List/View cutoff options combined into one. Member hyperlinking added.

Excellent Mod Paul, unfortunately I have a problem with group permissions.

Once I submit permissions updates in Administrator group, that create an other administrator group in "customized Usergroups" and no changes are made in original group.

Precision : I'm still under vB 3.7.2 PL2 (Issue about security hole from MGC CHATBOX EVO on vB 3.7.3 still not solved, so i'm waiting a fix..)

Hi Paul,

Sorry about that the mod in question can be found here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=168819

Would be great if you did not track those logins like the who is online doesn't.

Interested to read your opinion, otherwise yet another fantastic mod mate!

Sorry, but I dont have the time to look at that.

tried finding the answer to this question but cldn't find it:

does this mod allow me to track the number of members who logged in each day? i want to track the trends of members logging into my forum over a few months. Does this mod do that? tks.

[Paul M]

vb already logs the number of members who logged in each day - its in the ACP stats section.

[jl255]

tks but i've tried searching for that and never found. i'm using 3.6.8. I don't see a statistic for members who logged in? Is the 'user activity statistic' what you are referring to? Never knew what that stat represented...

[Paul M]

That sounds like it, I dont have ACP access atm to check.

Is this message related to the plugin or just a strange effect?


Edit: It seems to be something in "Member Tracking (6)" that generates the message below.
Edit 2: This line generates the error: $vbulletin->datastore->do_fetch('maxloggedin',$errors);

This was exactly the same for me. It only happened when Xcache was enabled.
Xcache enabled and mod disabled, no errors.
Xcache disabled and mod enabled, no errors.
Both enabled, that exact error.

Disabled for now, I'd rather see speed. Hope ya run into a fix.

[Paul M]

There is no fix since I cannot make this happen, I run this and xcache just fine, and have for over a year.

I run yer other stuff, no prob Paul. This one just did as seen above. I'm running 3.8 b1 if that makes a difference, though I doubt it. Thanks for yer work man.
