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.

That fixed it, thank you.

[Super Jinni]

what I like about you Paul is your support and updates. so thank you

I have a question:

when I update this product, do I have to upload bitfields file to ../includes/xml folder agian and replace the existed one or all what I have to do is to import the product from the admin cp?

[Boofo]

The product file is all you need to do. The bitfield file is the same. I always do both but you don't really need to.

[Super Jinni]

OK, thanks a lot..

Paul, this doesn't track Admins using the Admin CP does it?

Nope.

[Boofo]

Any way to add that for Staff? Might be nice to know if they have been in the CP areas so we can look at the logs if need be.

[Paul M]

I'll make a note for the future, but not at the moment.

[Boofo]

Great! And maybe add the friends symbol while you're at it?

[Super Jinni]

Hi again Paul
I have an issue
I don't know why but for some reason it does not track some users.. not all, only some.. and it shows me nothing about them.. not even the homepage
