Track Members

Hi, our Webmaster has applied that file but I'm afraid that the duplicate problem still exists.

I'm sending you a private message

Can't reproduce. It was duplicating the first post of a new topic, right?

Make sure the file was uploaded to the right place and rebuild the cache, just in case.

New update is making duplicate post everywhere.  PMs and forums

I've installed the fix and everything works beautifully.

Thanks once again for your great support and rapid response

The fix removed the bothersome problem.

The track member tab not showing on profile hover card options.

Is it only me or this option is gone in IPS 4.6?

 

 

[Adriano Faria]

This template has changed in IPS 4.6. Probably the hook doesn’t work on it anymore. I’ll take a look.

Hi @Adriano Faria ,

Whenever a group has access to track others, he can track himself, can see his own tracking logo, can change the settings or stop tracking, can see if he is been tracked. 

For example, you are an Admin, and you would like to track a member in a group who has access to the tool. The member simply can access his own tracking logs and change the settings even he can stop you from tracking him or any other groups who is tracking him without you are even notice. 

The app should have a new group setting to prevent all above from happening. 

For example, adding another group selecting to do

• Stopping the group who has access to track himself. 
• Not showing that he's been tracked. 
• Not showing the tracking member settings in order to stop him from changing the settings or stop tracking.

It’s a moderator permission that will allow to track and see the logs. If you don’t trust enough your moderators, you should consider swap them or to resolve your issue, remove permission to view logs. 

I’ll add, in a future version, a new moderator permission to allow stop tracking themselves and maybe changing settings but that’s all. Hide that you are being tracked for those can track is just a matter of trust in your moderators. If you don’t trust them, again, better change them.

I do trust them, but you know I track new ones to see what they are doing in order just to follow up on them. They do have full access to the tool, so they can stop me from tracking them without even notice. What you suggested above is great, but what is best if you can a setting not allow the tracked member who has access to the tool from changing the setting on his account or even not seeing he is tracked maybe.

Other suggestions:

• Adding "ipsTable_zebra" class to the tables everywhere not just on ACP for better reading. 
• Restore the comments on reports please. https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/443134-track-members/?do=findComment&comment=2864979

I have not updated to the new version because you removed it. 😞 

• Finally fix the responsive issue on the profile tab for smaller screens because it looks like this from the tablet or smaller laptop screen.

 

 

 

You great work and time much appreciated, and you know that. 🙂

What's New in Version 1.4.3:

• Fix an exception when trying to create comments using a cron job.

Hi, @Adriano Faria it has been almost 5 months since I reported some issues mentioned above. You've released a new version in May and marked the latest version as compatible with IPS 4.7, and none of the issue has been fixed my friend. I am just reminding you in case you forgot about it. 🙂

[Adriano Faria]

There are no issues, AFAIK. If you mean the cosmetic fix in the profile tab, sorry, I really don’t have time yet. Still missing some apps (and customs) to test and update to 4.7. If it is something that is crashing your board, then let me know. All the “tables” will have to be done again; they’re using <table> instead of ipsColumn so it will take time. 

The other stuff are suggestions. No ETA is the default answer. Always. 👍

Cannot wait to see this in the next release. Thank you dear.

Hi @Adriano Faria. There is one issue with "Track Members". When it is activated, any post done in anonymous mode is dpuplicated.

New version submitted to address this issue.

It also adds 2 new moderator permissions:

• Can stop tracking themself?
• Can change tracking settings?

Should be available in a few days.

I've had this module for two years or so.  I upgraded my Invision forum and this module didn't port over because apparently it wasn't upgraded to support PHP8 if I understood the upgrade message correctly.

I tried contacting Adriano with a private message and got a repeated tongue lashing but no answer to my question on whether he was going to upgrade the module for the latest forum version (or if he had already).

So after all this the only thing I have learned about whether this module is or will be compatible with the current forum, is simply that the developer doesn't support his product in private messages.

So I've canceled my renewal of it.

It is compatible... if you had any issue, it was enough to follow the terms you agreed and post in the forum, in first place, not send 4 messages.

Indeed. It is available in file view:

• Support will be provided exclusively in the support topic. DO NOT send a private message for support. You may be ignored. All the history of support requests should be public just in case a refund for lack of support is requested.

Thank you for your purchase.

@NoobForumAdmin I have been using this app on php 8.0 since 2021, and I have the app version 1.4 too not the newest one and every thing is working fine. 

Also, @Adriano Faria have been always helpful, and fix any bugs we have been reported. You can read all comments on this topic for example.

That would have been a great response to have gotten when I messaged him.  Unfortunately I got an angry response to a simple question about whether it supported PHP8.

I'm sure it's frustrating for him to get customer support requests over and over and often with the same issue especially from users like myself who are not familiar with the process and website here.  I would have expected a bit more professionalism from him after having purchased and renewed his product, but as he took the time to copy and paste, he does not answer support requests in messages.  In this thread sure.  In a message, no.

I'm sure his product and customer support will work for others, in my case it didn't.  Cheers.

First you sent a message from a user without a license. Then you used another account. And now a 3rd account. Beyond that, yes, I receive at least 3 dozens of message per week simply because people don't do what they agreed they would do. Maybe the ideal would be simply to disable my messenger. Thinking about that...

Anyway, thanks for your purchase.

All the support and even before purchase questions are available on the support topic unless the author/developer says use the private message which in your case @Adriano Faria mentioned it clearly on this app that support is ONLY available on the support topic.

No need to get angry because all information are available on the download page if you just read and pay a little attention. After you do that if you've any concerns, then I would write the author about them.
