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.
• Set your required permissions in the usergroup manager.

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

Nope.

3.7.004 - The List/View cutoff options have been combined into one, it made no sense for them to be different from each other. Also hyperlinked the member names to their profile page.

Is this mod any more server or database intensive thaqn the former "Members Who Have Visited Today" modification?

Yes, it records a lot more data, and all the data is in its own tables, so it makes more use of mysql reads/writes.

[Doctor Death]

Nice update BUT...

Notice the column header for users titled USER NAME. See the hyperlink there?

When you click on it, instead of sorting on that column (Which would be useful), it gives an error because it tries to look up a user with no name.

Recommend it get fixed and the other columns become "Sortable" as well.

Good mod. Thanks

Look up two posts from yours ......

It uses mysql more, how much more will depend entirely on how big/busy your forum is.

I must be blind : where is it in the user group permission ?
* Usergroup permissions are done with the standard vbulleten usergroup permissions system. (?)

[OmniBuzz]

Ok, I went through and through and I could not find anyting related to this mod in my usergroup permission settings...
Could someone be nice enough to simply point me out where it is and get another chance to make fun of a dumb French ?
Yep, the mod is installed and I can find it in vBulletin Options.

A l'aide !!!
