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.

Tracking doesn't work in archive.

[Paul M]

You need to be a bit more explicit than that.

[f1x3d]

it's doesn't track any user action in /archive/index.php/*

[Paul M]

Yes, you are correct. I think i'll add that in the next update.

Also, Paul, I noticed a space between the comma and the username before it on my site. I tried to find it in the code but got lost.

Thank you, it would be nice.

Also I have two questions:
Can I enable tracking only for selected usergroups to save DB space?
Can I enable settings like "Can View Member Tracking Data" only for selected users, not for usergroups?
Thanks.

[Paul M]

The answer to both questions is no.

That should be gone now.

[Boofo]

I just installed version 003 and it is still there.

[Paul M]

Did you download it before I posted ?

You need revision 3.14, which I uploaded after I posted.

[Boofo]

Yes, I think it was before you posted. I will re-download it again then. Thank you, sir.
