YD Profile Visitor Tracker

Description

Who has visited your profile?

This plugin tracks and displays who has been visiting your profile or other personal pages in a WordPress / BuddyPress / WP+bbPress installation. An important “social” add-on to community-oriented sites.

Use one template tag for the tracking, and another template tag (or shortcode) for the display.

When displaying the visitor’s list you can display any field from the default WordPress user data, all the standard user meta data (from usermeta table),
all the bbPress-used metadata (if bbPress is installed), and all BuddyPress extended profile (xprofile) data.
This give you incredible customization power for this plugin.

You can track visits on any page, not just profile, author or member’s pages.
(automatic tracking of BuddyPress member’s profile is built-in, you can track visits on other pages with the provided template tag)

You can track the value of specific visitor cookies.

You can filter or sort the displayed data using anu of the above-mentioned fields, plus the optional cookie value.

Compatible with PHP5 and above only.

Compatible with WP + bbPress standalone (latest versions): you can now track and display vitors on member’s profile pages (you don’t need BuddyPress at all to add some social bells and whistle to your vanilla WP or bbPress install).

Compatible with BuddyPress and/or BuddyPress + bbPress (you will get advanced features such as “add friend”, and “send private mail” buttons and all expected BuddyPress social-oriented features).

Compatible with WordPress standalone : you can track registered visitors on author pages or any other kind of page (ie. once again BuddyPress and bbPress are not needed).

Only existing WP data structure (tables) is used.

Works with WP3.1 mono or multi-site.

Installation

WordPress automatic installation is fully supported and recommended.

The shortcode for displaying a visitors list in a page is as follows:
[yd_visitor_profiles profile_id=”1″]
(you can specify any profile ID to get that user’s latest visitors list)

The template tag for use in a BuddyPress profile page can be used as follows:
display_visitors(
array(
‘profile_id’ => $bp->displayed_user->id
)
);
}
?>

The template for displaying visitors list in a bbPress standalone (without BuddyPress) profile page is as follows:
display_visitors(
array(
‘profile_id’ => $user->ID
)
);
}
?>

If $user->ID does not work on the page you want to track, try $user_id instead.
There are numerous ways of fetching both the IDs of the visitor and of the visited page owner depending on the setup and where you are in the page.

There are MANY customization parameters available for both the shortcode and template function.
Some of them are documented on the plugin’s official site…
Others will be documented later on as requests come in ;-).

The tracking template tag (if you do not use the auto-tracking feature available in the plugin’s setting page) is as follows:

<?php if( is_callable( array( 'pvtPlugin', 'track' ) ) ) pvtPlugin::track(); ?>

If you are in bbPress standalone, here is the tracking tag for a profile page:

<?php if( is_callable( array( 'pvtPlugin', 'track' ) ) ) pvtPlugin::track( array( 'profile_id' => $user_id ) ); ?>

(for any kind of WP or other page you can pass the profile_id the same way, using the profile_id parameter)

There are also some tracking options that will be documented later on.

See the screenshots for advanced integration layouts.
