USER ACTIVITY LOGGING.
Description:
This Mod will (eventually) allow you to track a users activity from any script within vB or its addons ... well at least those that make use of the Hook features.
Background:
I have seen various requests around for some form of user logging but never been able to find an actual Mod. As we had a need for this on our site I decided to write my own.
I have been working with vB for a couple of years now (and a php coder for a lot more) and made use of a number of other coders Mods, both as they had been released or customized to suit our own purposes. Although not a very active poster here at vBorg, it is one of my regular visits.
Installation:
Standard Product Import using the AdminCP.
No template changes.
Optional (for AdminCP Log Viewer):
- Upload contents of zip file
Upgrade:
Will be as above, but select 'Overwrite'
Features:
Database and/or Thread notification of activity
Selectable Forum for Thread notification
Selectable posting User for Thread notification
On/Off for each logging area
AdminCP Log Viewer/Pruner
Additional thread option for logging all Log-ins and outs
Current Logging Areas:
showthread - logs when a user views a thread (this is currently the only one I am using and I am actually happy with)
forumdisplay - logs when a user views the forumdisplay script
search - logs when a user makes a search
editpost - logs when a user edits a post
log-ins/log-outs - logs successful and unsuccessful log-ins and log-outs
profile views - logs when a user views the 'member profile' page
ChangeLog:
v1.0.6 (28 Nov,2007) - incorporated IPAddress tracking as provided by dartho (thanks )
v1.0.5 (16 May,2007) - added profile viewing both for 'logged users' and 'all user to a separate thread'. No admincp file update required. NB: Check options after upgrading.
v1.0.4 (07 May,2007) - added log-in/out logging both for 'logged users' and 'all user to a separate thread'. No admincp file update required.
v1.0.3 (27 April, 2007) - Corrected 1 thread per logged user issue, added 'editpost' logging area
v1.0.2 (25 April, 2007) - Check for deleted thread & added AdminCP Log Viewer
v1.0.1 (24 April, 2007) - Error in XML
v1.0.0 (24 April, 2007) - Initial release
Future Enhancements?:
Additional logging areas (just ask and I'll look in to it)
[S]Viewable log transcripts taken from database entries[/S] - completed
Usergroup logging
Thanks To:
All those other coders whose Mods I have installed and learned from
Note: This is the first Mod I have actually released here (or anywhere), so please go easy on me
Hopefully I have the Product URL and Version Checking URL links right.

No probs. I've kept the zip file separate as it's optional and only required if you activate database logging and want to access the logs from the ACP.
haha just last night I was messing around with plugin code and I don't know how I did it but I managed to get it to log profile views although it is dependent on whether the "log thread views" option is enabled.
Next step is Private Messaging. Logging whether someone is viewing/sending a private message etc.
One question I do have. It doesn't parse BB code for me. Any idea why? Incidentally I just removed the url outputs from the plugins but will change it back if there's a way the log can parse that. These are specifically the [ URL ] bbcodes that show up in logs.
Also is it supposed to log that someone is "editing" a post or "replying" to a thread? Mine doesn't. It just saying "viewing" a thread so I'm guessing that's by design and not an error.
That's odd about the BB code not parsing for you. It's supposed to and does in my test environment
Thread editing, replying and private messaging are not yet included but I will add these in next chance I get ... might even be later tonight if other things I am working on don't go well
