USER LOG
- This will record Date and time,UserIP,PageVisited,UserName.
- This can only be used on a server with the Scripting.FileSystemObject fully enabled.
Active Users Mod Installed:
Find the following statements in inc_activeusers.asp
'CHECK IF USER NAME AND IP ADDRESS MATCH
set rsWho = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
Add the following statements Just before the above statements in inc_activeusers.asp
dim iplg, logFile8
set iplg=server.createObject("scripting.FileSystemObject")
set logFile8=iplg.openTextFile(server.mappath("/forum/FOLDERNAME/IPLOG.txt"),8)
logFile8.write strOnlineCheckInTime & Chr(9) & strOnlineUserIP & CHR(9) & strScriptName & CHR(9) & strOnlineUser & vbCrLf
logFile8.close
set logFile8=nothing
set iplg=nothing
ActiveUsers Mod not installed
Add the following statements at the end of inc_top.asp
<%strOnLineCheckInTime = DateToStr(strForumTimeAdjust)
strOnlineUserIP = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")
strScriptName = Request.servervariables("script_name")
if strDBNTUserName = "" then
strOnlineUser = "Guest"
else
strOnlineUser = strDBNTUserName
end if
dim iplg, logFile8
set iplg=server.createObject("scripting.FileSystemObject")
set logFile8=iplg.openTextFile(server.mappath("/forum/FOLDERNAME/IPLOG.txt"),8)
logFile8.write strOnlineCheckInTime & Chr(9) & strOnlineUserIP & CHR(9) & strScriptName & CHR(9) & strOnlineUser & vbCrLf
logFile8.close
set logFile8=nothing
set iplg=nothing%>
Create a text file and name it IPLOG.txt and place it in a folder where you have read/write permissions enabled.
Replace FOLDERNAME with the folder name where you have placed your IPLOG.txt file.
That is it.

The information can be used to track someone abusing your forums using different usernames.

this is really useful.
I have a question on permissions:
here's what I have in my control pannel
-----------------
Permissions for: xxxxxx log.txt
USERNAME READ WRITE
ownername ENABLED ENABLED
_DISABLED_GUEST ENABLED ENABLED
_DISABLED_GUEST ENABLED ENABLED
ANONYMOUS ENABLED ENABLED
-----------------
I have to set anonymous to write enabled
will this cause any trouble? does it mean others are possible to write to log.txt?
btw, what does _DISABLED_GUEST mean here? (i'll ask the system admin for this if this is not a global setting for win2000 servers)
thanks.

Thank you!!!! 
This is an awesome script - exactly what I need!
Only one question: Is there a simple way to make it track and record the forum/topic ID or Name also?

It works very nicely but when I look into the log it shows date, ip address, and name but not pagevisited. I am behind a firewall when I tested this. Is this the cause of it?

Make sure you have strScriptName variable defined and is being populated.
Look for this statement in inc_top.asp
strScriptName = Request.servervariables("script_name")

I checked and do have that statement in my inc_top. Any idea why the pagename is not showing up in the log?

Add the statement in red as shown in inc_top.asp and see if the variable is getting populated.
strScriptName = Request.servervariables("script_name")
Response.write "Scriptname:" & strScriptName

I'm interested in this but have a slight problem.
I looked inside of inc_top.asp to make sure I had that set but couldn't find that line anywhere.
What is that line for?
Is there something I'm missing that I comes with?

Do you have active users Mod installed? If not then use the code for Active uses Mod not installed.

here's an idea to a really good logging mod G. I was thinking of
checking the date and creating new logs for every month of the year
which will slim down the size of the log file and conveniently would
offer separate files for reviewing by month. my log file is already
5 megs in a matter of 2 weeks.
oh yeah, as a side note, I review this log quite frequently and
actually found someone trying to get to my admin areas several times
which allowed me to eventually ban them by ip.

I also have the same problem I have the latest version of the active users build (I think rewritten by nathan not your build)
I have looked in to the log file and I do not see where the user is. I have looked in the inc_top.asp file but I do not have the line
strScriptName = Request.servervariables("script_name")
Let me know if you would like to see any of my files
