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.

Paul another great mod, not just have to figure out how can I use this to my advantage on my forum.

Anway you can set this to X amount of hours?

[ssslippy]

Found a bug when this option is set to no you cant access the memberlist page. You should be able to access the memberlist page without having the last 24 hr listing.

 Set to 'Yes' to enable the Member Tracking display. Note that if the master enable is set to yes, then data will still be collected, even if this is set to 'No'. You must disable the whole modification to prevent this.

Its not a bug.

Note that installing this will automatically remove the "Members Who Have Visited Today" modification.

Thank's, I guess I don't have to remove your previous mod, right

Hey Paul I installed this a bit ago and it works halfway. The part where it does what the who has visited hack does unfortunately doesn't work for me.

It shows the table for the addon but in the cell next to the icon where it is supposed to list the members and the record ever online it shows "Resource id #49". I looked threw the code some but I'm fairly tired so I didn't spend much time on it yet but I will report back when I look at it more later. If you have any ideas please let me know and I will look into them.

So for now I have disabled it till then.

You had to setup the usergroup permissions to allow the usergroups to see it. It is disabled by default.

I have solved the problem that I was having now. It was a variable conflict of the variable not living the scope till the navbar template was built because of a query call with the same variable name. So I renamed $memberlist to $memberlistwv everywhere it was referenced to solve the problem on my site. In case anybody else has that problem thats all there is to fixing it.

Thanks, works great.

sounds good Paul ... so this replaces completely the 'who's has visited' hack right?

edit: just a question: what is the difference between 'run code on all vb pages' and 'run only on forumhome'? i don't understand this
