Track Guest Visits Details »» | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
This modification is no longer available or supported. Something that has been repeatedly asked in the "Members who visited today" modifications (all versions) is a similar way to track the number of guests that have visited a forum each day. This isn't possible in stock vbulletin as no record is kept of guest visits, they are a 'realtime' display only. I've therefore finally got round to looking at the issue and produced this modification. This will add (another) section to the "What's Going On" area. The data is kept in a new table so it should be possible for other uses to be made of it (or display it in other ways). A screenshot of the current display is attached. 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 guests can be set to be always collapsed on initial view. * The script that the Guest is running is logged (e.g. showthread, usercp etc). * The request variables in use are logged (e.g. threadid, userid etc). * The guest table can be cleaned of old records to help control it's size. * Controls for the displays automatic template update. * The datastore read (for spider detection) will read from the File/APC/Memcache/Xcache datastore [if used]. Version 1.19+ * Guest Views data collection - tracking each guests viewing of the forum index page, forums and threads. * Guest Views data collection can be separately disabled. * Multiple guest visits to the same page are logged separately. * Clicking on a Guest type in the main display will list all recent visits by guests of that type. * Clicking on the option in the guest listing will show that guests viewing data (if enabled). * Usergroup permissions are now done with the standard vbulleten usergroup permissions system. Four new usergroup permissions are provided in the usergroup manager. * Can View the Guests Visited Display - Members can view the guests visited display on Forumhome. * Can View Guest IP Addresses - Members can see the ip addresses of visiting guests. * Can View Guest Visits List - Members can view the list of guest visits page. * Can View Guest Tracking Data - Members can view the individual guest visit tracking page. Version 1.22+ The option to keep a record of [and display] the most ever guests has been added - this used to be provided by a seperate add-on product. * All (non usergroup) modification settings are in vBulletin Options > Guest Tracking. To install ;
You can get an improved Spiders Definition file, that recognises many more spiders, from this post. Note: For Spider detection to work you must set Enable Spider Display to 'Yes' in vBulletin Options > Who's Online Options.

Your Guest table (in mysql) has crashed - run a repair on it via the ACP.

Tables crash sometimes, usually a server hiccup - that's why mysql has a repair command.

[high]* PugWD marks installed. :up:
[/high] One thing I noticed though, I installed the Members version first and it immediately showed users from the previous day/24hours; this one however only showed the amount from the time I installed it. I had 54 guests online at the time but it was only showing 2 from the previous 24 hours (now showing 56 online/35 in past 24hrs, five minutes later). Also, I notice that it takes an extra five seconds or so to display the What's Going On after the main forum list comes in. What sort of extra overhead do these two products generate? Reason I ask is because I'm still on shared hosting but am really pushing the limits of it with the size and traffic of my forum. |

i got a little issue, i don't know if someone else noticed it or ran into this problem. I just noticed today, it seems that on my board the google spider count doesn't increase after 1 person visits, it always shows 1. And i know that not only 1 google spider comes every day. so could someone please help me with this? thanking in advance!

JFYI, google does not send many spiders to forums, esp smaller ones, one spider visits and does all the work (as opposed to yahoo, which floods you with spiders). |
