Forum Home Enhancements - Member Tracking

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This tracks the number of members that have visited the forum each day, and displays a list in the same manner as the "Who has visited" modification. 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.

Note that installing this will automatically remove the "Members Who Have Visited Today" modification.

Options / Features ;

* The ability to turn it on/off.
* The ability to turn just the display on/off.
* The ability to allow (or prevent) certain usergroups viewing the display.
* The ability to run the display code on all pages (not just forumhome).
* The ability to switch between 'Today' and Rolling 24 Hours display (default).
* The list of members can be set to be always collapsed on initial view.
* 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.
* Controls for the automatic template update system.
* 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 a member in the main display will show that members viewing data (if enabled, and you have permission).
* Usergroup permissions are done with the standard vbulleten usergroup permissions system.
* Clicking on the "Total members that have visited" line will list all members who have visited and their last action.
* The option to keep a record of [and display] the most ever members can be enabled.

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.

I just noticed that, it doesn't track user(s) who they use this, I mean if one of my moderators track user(s), if I want to track this moderator it shows me where he went but doesn't tell me that he tracked any user...

i'm wondering, but the tracking should be reset every day?

[Ideal Web Tech]

No it will track 2 days worth of member records by default. You can change this number up or down as you see fit. Remember the higher you set it and the more active your forum the more data you will be storing.

The Who Has Visited part is the one that works either for the a day or for a rolling 24 hours.

Paul doesn't upload screenshots that often. I'm the same way; if you want to know what it's like, install it on a test board

You will see it in the memberlist if it was their last action, but other than that no - the visit tracking is only for the homepage/forums and threads.

There is also a limit on how many records it will display per member (500 by default I believe).

OK..

what about profiles?
I'd like to see who saw whose profile, is that possible?

and if it possible to show who sent message to who I think that will be so great.. so that can be full tracking.

[Paul M]

Nope this does neither of them (default vb tracks profile visits afaik).

Paul maybe i'm missing something but every midnight the members tracks are reset ... for example if i click over my nickname it shows me only the today's tracking ... (check the attachment)

my settings are:
Rolling 24 Hours Option: NO
Database Clean-up Period: 7
Member List Row Limit: 1000
Member Views Row Limit: 500

in the second pic that i've attached you can see another member tracks, like you can see it starts at midnight ...

maybe it depends by the 24h options settled to 'no'?
