What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps me know how many people are using my work, giving me extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

I appreciate the support!

A suggesting instead saving in a log file if we show user his previous ip and present ip in forum home then user can easily undertsand who logged his account before.

OR

Another better option is show last 5 login ips.

Maybe something to consider for future versions.

thanks for this mod, but can you make the store data in Database instead of file. so can be open the log from admincp and sorting data with ip, or date, or username (see how many ip use the member for that account)
also can clear the log from database, also can clear log for exact time only ...

[ozzy47]

TBH I avoided putting it in the db don't need unnecessary stuff being stored in there. If you stay on top of the log you will see patterns quickly.

Im getting a ton of "unregistered" lines in the log file.

I have no userIDs entered and about 6 usergroups selected, unregistered is not one of them so I don't know why they are being added to the log file.

The time stamp also seems to be off

1) Times are switching from AM to PM
2) there's a random 3:48 time listed (is this based on members time zones not the site time zone?

[ozzy47]

Not totally sure, I have not seen that before.

[mikez006]

doesn't seem to be working for me. Had a member login 2 days in a row, send PMs, but no posts and he's not listed in the log file.

[ozzy47]

Is his user ID set to be recorded, or is he in a group set to be recorded?

Same issue here, Unregistered is showing up even though only two usergroups are selected.

Here's the kicker though: if I choose "No" for the Product Is Active option, it works as intended. Barring the fact that the plugin is not deactivated as it should be, the IPs are logged correctly just for the usergroups selected in the AdminCP.

However, the time reported for the logins is still out of whack regardless if the product is set to active or not. E.g (time should be 09:51 for all of them):

04-09-2014,09:51
04-09-2014,09:51
04-09-2014,08:51
04-09-2014,09:51
04-09-2014,08:51
04-09-2014,06:51
04-09-2014,09:51
04-09-2014,06:51

Glitch in the Matrix?

Not sure, I'll have to look into this some more.
