User tracking mod

[mc12345678]

Problem Solved.

I uninstalled the database configuration using the SQL provided with the mod and installed again. Thanks.

Unfortunately, some of the earlier installation process steps had a tendency to leave behind some remnants that could get in the way of an upgrade install where it may not have been realized to be an upgrade... ie. if the software had previously been installed or attempted to be installed to the database, but then not fully removed (even if the removal instruction of the time were followed). Happens and why it is part of the instructions when problems have been identified with installation and why it was suggested in the previous referenced thread.

Will this plugin run on ZC 1.5.6?

Yes and no... I installed it to a store that is running PHP 7.2 and strict error reporting and had a few debug logs to address. I did also notice that the visualization of the results needed something other than the default store's table structure. At any rate, I've updated github for the moment to account for all of the minor notifications provided and to add in a table structure that at least provides a way to sensibly look at the data. Should be modified to use more of a responsive design, but haven't worked on that yet...

Anyways, latest test of it can be seen: [FONT=Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif]https://github.com/mc12345678/User_Tracking

Currently Version 1.5.9 on GitHub.
I hadn't yet updated the geoip data nor added flags for a few of the newly identified countries... As usual, the instructions have not yet been updated significantly. I have roughly identified in the installation file what has been modified in the package.

Note that the READFIRST.txt file references an upgrading document which no longer exists.

The data collected by this mod seems to grow without bounds - has there been any consideration to trimming the user_tracking table? Perhaps more recent versions of this mod already do this and I'm looking at old code?

Ummm, yeah, six years ago delete capability was added first in version 1.4.3... Yeah, old code indeed...

I was hoping for something automatic.

I was hoping for something automatic.

Is on a todo list, though have always wondered to what extent it would occur: every admin page change, every visit by a visitor, when the plugin is activated to see the results? Even with that, say if someone wanted to keep data for a relatively extended period, once a month, once a week, etc...

Make it cron capable only? So many options, positive and negative.

Noodle on it as a suggestion. The reason it came up is that someone had an old user_tracking table (likely created in 1.3.x) but a 1.5 installation without the software, so I had no way of getting in an trimming the table from the admin (it's easy enough to use phpMyAdmin of course, which is what I wound up doing).
