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 ;
  • Unzip the XML files.
  • Upload the bitfields file to your ../includes/xml folder.
  • Import the product into vB using the ACP Product Manager.
  • Set your required permissions in the usergroup manager.
Note that by default no permissions are given, you must set them.

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.

A German translation has been provided by hurik in post #769 - (for Version 1.22).

What you do is your choice, but the seperate mod is now withdrawn, support for it will cease at the end of 2007.

Code:
Database error in vBulletin 3.5.3:

Invalid SQL:

		REPLACE INTO phrase 
		(varname, fieldname, product, text)
		VALUES ('setting_pemdata_desc','vbsettings','pem-dummy-product','Leave this setting alone.'),
		       ('setting_pemdata_title','vbsettings','pem-dummy-product','Modification Version Data');

MySQL Error  : Unknown column 'fieldname' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054
I'm sure there are more bits that won't work either. It's written for 3.6, simple as that. There is no 3.5 release, nor will there be - apart from anything else I no longer run any 3.5 forums.

If you can get it going in 3.5 then great, but I'm afraid my support is limited to the 'official' 3.6 code.

Curious, and I appologize if it was mentioned else where in the 48 pages, vBulletin says "Currently Active Users: 20 (13 members and 7 guests)" while the Guest tracking says "Most guests online over 24 hours was 6" Why the difference between the two? Does vBulletin just count multiple instances of the same guest and this product smartly groups each instance of the guest?

Hello Paul...it's Elizabeth Richardson here.

I installed this and got an incredible number of database errors, so have now uninstalled...I haven't read through the other posts, but just wanted to let you know of my challenge in case there is something that can be done...I am very grateful for all your work though.
