Yes I know it will take up a huge amount of space in the database, but I added a fuction so that after 6 hours it will be deleted. from the database...

I cant really show you a image of it.. but you will see it if you install it.

Have fun

I'd be interested in see what you added and the instructions for the db.

Neo, very nice hack. Very very cool!
Simple but great idea.

I implemented it with a couple of enhancements. Just to give you an extend-idea...
- stored a little bit more infos coming from user and thread (for example: forumid, number of posts in thread that moment, proxyip, etc).
- I already have a weekly scheduled "dump, archive and flush" of all four (now five) log tables. So I removed the in-code delete timeout.
- To make that table not too fast grown up, I added a field to forum tables (managed in forum.php) to choose either if log accesses to that particular forum or not.
This way, I could focus the logging to most 'sensitive' areas of my board.

If someone needed, I could post the delta instructions.
Any way, many thanks to your idea and clear implementation.

Bye

Could the date and time someone viewed the thread be added to this log? If its a simple addition, please tell me how.

Also, and this may sound confusing, I need to log these IP's for each viewer in the same place and same way an IP is logged when someone makes a post. On my forum members have been known to give non-members their username and password. I am using this hack to try and stop this. It would make life much easier for me if when I went into the admin CP and used the "find other users with this IP" feature, it would be able to see the IPs logged from people who only view the boards as well as post on it. Of coarse in the "find more IP's for this user" feature, it only lists each IP address once, not for ever single post.

I like this hack since it shows all accesses for a period of time but just want to add each separate IP someone views with to the same log as the ones who make posts.

This hack is great btw. I installed it and it works perfectly. I was desperately looking for a way to log IPs that viewed without posting. I am so much closer to what I need now.

Thanks again!!! :banana:
