[ALPHA] Logging Mod MMW

Post by ckwalsh »

This is in response to the Modding's most wanted for a logging Mod. When completed, I'm hoping it should be able to:
  • Log all moderator actions, along with Links to posts and descriptions of the Action, Including:
  • Editing
  • Deleting
  • Topic Moving
  • Topic Locking/Unlocking

    Log all user Actions with descriptions, including:
  • Profile Editing
  • Posting
  • Editing
  • Deleting
  • Voting
  • PMing
  • Login/Logout
  • Failed Logins

    Log all Admin Actions with descriptions, including:
  • Configuration Changes
  • Forum addition, deletion, renaming, and permission changing
  • Banning

    Log all Errors with description of errors, Information including:
  • File
  • Line #
  • Get Variables
  • Post Variables (Password removed upon Login Error)


  • Allow for other mods to make use of all logs in addition to a Miscellaneous log.

    Also, I am hoping to make all this very configurable, allowing options to be set such as:
    [/size]
  • Log all users in user logs or just certain users
  • On the log viewing page, allow all admins or only main admin to view the logs
  • Prevent deletion of logs, except by main admin, infinitely or after a certain time limit.
  • Use the phpBB Language System
Green means it's done and in the latest release
Black means it hasn't been started
Red means a bug has been found in it and I haven't gotten around to fixing it yet


Note, most of the above is to remind me what I would like to do with this, and while I hope to get it all I may not be able to, so don't go running around yelling "Where is Feature X?".

Download: Version 0.2.3
This mod should NOT yet be used in a live enviroment.

Configuration Page

Yup :D. Even though it's redundant, I'm kinda also doing this to show myself I can. Also, I think you can't have too many of the same mod, since features and ease of use can be different (just look at the quickreply mods!)

No, since it seems kind of a waste of database space. I can't think of a real need to have login/logout information.

Eh, I would like to have it :-)
And as far as wasted space, you could have a pruning option to delete all events older than x days or somesuch.

Actually I'd like to see the login/out logging as well, but I'd like to see failed login attempts.

Also, what about extending the configurations, if this isn't already implemented, so that you can switch on/off the areas you want to log?

I'm working on getting it implemented, but yes, all logs can be switched on and off.

I just posted a screenshot of the configuration page. Further down the file are the Mod and Admin fields.
