Profile Enhancements - Userlog on profile - Display namechanges,bans and email changes

What does this do?

This hack will display changes which have been made to the user's account (currently bans, username changes and email changes) in an additional tab in the user profile. It should make it easier for users to keep track of changes applied to someone's account (especially name changes).

Instructions

Simply import the userlogs_on_profile product and you should be done.

Notes

• The hack will add one new template (memberinfo_block_userlog)
• For displaying the bans of someone, the hack will assume the usergroup for banned members is usergroup number 8 (default banned group on a fresh vB installation). If your banned group has a different ID, you can change it in the adminCP (Userlog on Profile Settings).
• All changes made using vB 3.6 or any lower version won't be displayed, since the userlog feature was first introduced in 3.7
• If there are no entries for someone, the tab won't be displayed on their profile.

Updates

It only show's if a username has been altered so will not show on all profiles

good idea for a block ... i was to write my own this week-end, so you make me a gift here.. lol

though, i will suggest that instead of multiple queries you simply use one that read the whole table for that user, and cache the results sorted by fieldname AND dateline, so you just have to use the fieldname you want...

you could even add the same elements listed when you read the editlog in the admincp... i'm going to do that myself, because most of my staff prefer to read these infos in the profile because they can't read the editlog...

Email changes get lgged too? I'll take a look at it.

Well, it's same info which is displayed in the adminCP, I didn't see an option to delete logs there though.

I'll try to work out the query thing, I still need to gain more experience at this kind of stuff

Makes life much easier, thank you very much.

[Kentaurus]

Thanks. Nice hack.

Some comments:

Instead of
$userid=intval($_GET[u]);
You should use:
$userid = $this->profile->userinfo['userid'];

========

Instead of
mysql_fetch_array(
you should use
$db->fetch_array(


========


Instead of
$vbulletin->db->
you should use
$this->registry->db->

anything $vbulletin-> could be accomplished with $this->registry
and you eliminate the use of a global variable and instead use the encapsulated class reference

========

The template is not cached. That is an additional query in all profiles. Add a pluging for 'cache_templates' with this code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'member')
{
    $globaltemplates[] = 'memberinfo_block_userlog';
}

Is this hack even still being supported?

[zappsan]

I'm sorry I've currently got too many problems so I can't work on this for a while. I'll try to add Kentauros suggestions as soon as possible (thanks for the tips).

Just an update on the progress once in a while is all that is needed.

This does not work or appear just recently. It wont' show up on my froums anymore.

I am running vb 3.7.1 here and added all my usergroups to view namechanges/bans :O

edit: Nevermind it is working now. It just didn't show all the previous information from my db before I imported it.

Is there any way to restore the ban/name change info from a pervious db of vB w/ the same users?
