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.

* All (non usergroup) modification settings are in vBulletin Options > Member Tracking.

To install;

• Upload the bitfields file to your ../includes/xml folder.
• Import the product into vBulletin using the ACP Product Manager.

Yes, the member tracking view is dependant on that setting (24hr or midnight).

[KURTZ]

OK, but i need to increase the tracking data ... it's possible Paul? maybe into a new release can you give us some options for this? it's possible? thx

[Paul M]

I dont see any reason not to, i'll probably give a choice of three ;

1. Midnight
2. 24 hours
3. No restriction (basically making it dependant on the clean-up setting).

[KURTZ]

superb! i'll wait your update ... thank you so much

[Goomzee]

Let me try that Mod

[Paul M]

[KURTZ]

superb Paul, many many thx

[Super Jinni]

many thanks Paul

[KURTZ]

Paul, sorry but i've another request, obviously if is possible to add this, like you perfectly know the 'twin add-on' (who's visited) give us the possibility of going into the user profile if we click over the nickname of the user ... now, obviously, if we click over the name we get the tracking ...

i've found very useful this feature in the other add-on (i mean the redirect to the user profile) so i'm wondering if is possible to improve this add-on with something like this, maybe directly in the tracking page ...

thx

Having read this twice, Im still not sure what your asking.
