that seems to have gone ok
just need to figure how what to do with it now 

[samvirtual]

awesome!

[qtwre]

can this be done to track guest too?  or ip?

[Mike Bobbitt]

Guests don't leave the same sort of trail in the SMF logs, so unfortunately not...

[qtwre]

Guest do have activities isn't it?  You confused me.

[Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen]

Nice tool! Thanks!

[edi67]

Is possible have this for SMF 2.0 ?

[Powerbob]

Yes that would be awesome to have it in 2.0
I have had it working on my boards since this tip was first posted.

Thanks
Bob

I also wonder if this is possible in SMF 2.

mike,

I want to allow my global mods to use this tool.  Do you have any code snippet that i can add to your php so they can use it?

[curlydog]

Never mind got it work.....thanks Mike

I've created a simple script to track recent user activity on SMF. It's nothing fancy, but if you want to find out what people have been up to (useful for keeping tabs on potential trouble) you may find this handy.

Installation is simple, just drop it in to your SMF directory (same one that contains SSI.php), then browse to tracker.php.

You can enter the username, display name or user ID# for a user to track. Due to the nature of the info provided, currently only forum admins are allowed to run the script.

I've included a couple screen shots to show the general functionality.


Cheers
Mike

Update: Now shows moderator actions as well.

[madman71]

Did you put the tracker.php file in your forum directory?

if you did then in your browser type:


http://www.yourwebsiteaddress.com/forum/tracker.php

and that should do it

[bros]

I hope this will be made to work with SMF 2.0

[Deprecated]

Yeah, really! And I just *LOVE* the installation: drag 'n drop!

No worry that this will be the one that implodes your carefully set up forum.

[Jessikard]

may anybody post the complete installation working with 1.1.5 please ?

[madman71]

Jess,

I have my running on 1.1.5 and there were no probs making this work.

just follow these instructions and that's it.

It cant be any easier 

[Jessikard]

is it the same tracker.php like that at the first post in attachment ?

edit: okay, it works - but teh script shows all the boards in our Forum  without timestamp

[madman71]

That's the one that i used.  Just DL it and drop it in
