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As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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

Nice mod. Seems to work for 4.2 with the exception that when a visitor goes to any of my custom pages it shows that they are at Home page. Is there a way to change this?

My custom pages are being generated using this mod:

How can I change the line background color from white? It doesn't work well with my template.

Very good work Paul, one question though, in versions 4.1.x of the plugin, it didn't show the posts where a certain usergroup didn't have permission to view, whereas in 4.2 it does. How can I fix that? (forum permissions are correctly set)

Thanks in advance!

Paul, on vb 4.2, when using this and Guest Tracking, the guest tracking displays on top, and I cannot figure out how to put it below member tracking like it was on all previous versions.

can you assist? in the guest tracking thread there are a few others having the same issue

I answered in the other thread.

Ditto - just did the same, and was going to copy the same screenshots of mine.

I reloaded the bitfields xml file. Uninstalled, and re-installed (both looked successfully), but still nothing showing up on forumhome.

I'm running VB 4.2.0 PL1, and this latest 4200 version of this add-on.

the same here !!

For vb 4.2.x only - Have you enabled the Visiting Members display in options ?

In 4.2 this does not add its own display, it hooks into the existing display, so that must be enabled.
