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As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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

Yes, all are set that way.

I'm probably using it wrong. There's no real clear directions. I clicked on the members name in 'visited' to get that one screen, but no matter where else I click I don't see anything else...

I have no idea, without access to your forum, anything else would be just a guess.
You clearly have something odd on your forum, judging from this and the other thread you posted in.

What would you need?

[MarceloS]

I wanted something to log how many days each member visited in a row (for a contest).

For example: for the last month, a leaderboard with the number of days that each member visited.

Any suggestions?

Thx installed and voted for, very nicely done

Will this be updated for vB 5.1.0?

[Paul M]

TBH, Its very unlikely.

In fact, its unlikely I will convert the majority of my work to vB5.
I dont run vB5 other than as test sites, and at this time I have no plans to change that.

vBulletin 5 is so vastly different that the mods all need to be completely redone (the plugin system was removed from vB5) and in many cases I dont even know if its possible to convert them.

I just dont have the time to start rewriting things from scratch, especially when Im very unlikely to ever have a personal use for it.

Another good reason to not upgrade. I'll stay with 4.2

Installed and working correctly on the vb default style, but not showing up on my custom style. What's this looking for (I assume in forumhome) for the insert? I'm assuming it's something I pulled out, but I can't sort it.

This is my site if you have a moment, otherwise I'll post up when I inevitably figure it out now that I've posted this, heh.

Edit: It was indeed something in forumhome, I reset the WGO box area and it's showing up now. Cheers Paul, great mod.
