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.

Note that by default no permissions are given, you must set them.

OK i'll try to explain ... sorry Paul i'm not english

in the 'total members that have visited today' box, i mean in the index of the forum, i can find the complete list of all the members were onto the forum today ... (obvious) and obviously if i select one of these members in the list i get his/her tracking ... but with your other hack, i mean 'who has visited', if i select a member from this list i get his/her profile ...

so my request is: can you provide the same thing also into this hack? i mean a link to the user's profile that in this add-on there isn't ... maybe you can put this link in the 'header' of the tracking page ...

hope you can understand what i wrote ...

edit: just added a shot, so you can understand better what i need obviously if it's possible to do a similar thing like this ...

sorry Paul if i insist , you cannot do anything about this?

[Paul M]

Not at the moment, I dont have the time to look at what your asking (I do understand it now btw).

[KURTZ]

finally!

however, thanks Paul

[buzzel]

can i track my photopost, too? and where can i add it for tracking?

thx for helping me...

[Paul M]

You cannot track Photopost with this.

[buzzel]

vb whoisonline shows the info where the user is in photopost... no way for getting this info for tracking... ok, thanks.

[buzzel]

another silly question? maybe... if no case in your script ist valid, is it possible to get and log only the complete url from the user? if it is possible i think i will work for other integration of vb also.

[Paul M]

I dont really understand your question.

If the User is not visiting Forum or Forum Home, vB WhoIsOnline shows unknown_location and the Link, like this:
Username----Unknown Location---/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=258---IP

maybe you can also track Unknown Location and the Link?


case 'index': ->
case 'forumdisplay': ->
case 'showpost': ->
case 'attachment': ->
....
case 'unknown_location': -> track the link

sorry, i dont find better words to explain my suggestion.
