PLEASE READ:
- Front-end compatible with XF 2.3
- Back-end is not fully compatible with XF 2.3 (still some work to do on the charts navigation)
- Follow up releases will resolve issues with the back-end charting
- This is released for those of you that need/want to upgrade to XF2.3
IMPORTANT NOTE:
- DISABLE YOUR ADBLOCKER IN THE ADMIN SECTION
- If you can't click "Options" on this "Add-on" page in admin [ /admin.php?add-ons/ ]
- Turn off your AdBlocker
- The AddOn's JavScript admin path is on the Global list for most AdBlockers
- It causes a silly issue where you can't open the drawer for "Options, Uninstall, Disable, Etc.)
- Unfortunately, the only real solution is to either:
- Request removal (bad idea)
- Or, change the Add-on path (inconvenient for everyone)
- So for now, please disable your AdBlocker on: /admin.php
Detection Improvements:
- Detection improved 3,4,5 fold (100%-300%+)
- Resolved issues with uBlock
- Fixed misc. other detectors with same update as above
- Changed end points that were detected on [Global adBlock lists]
- Future work in progress release is going to resolve this issue permanently (hopefully)
- Updated easy list
Performance:
- Removed extraneous detection that was on [Global adBlock lists]
Automatic Cron:
- Cron to automatically delete inactive guests
- Batch deletes run every 15 minutes
Options:
- option: added numbers of days inactive to delete (default: 180 days)
- option: size of batch to process per run
- put complicated options lower in the list
- moved some to advanced
- add debugging
Charts
- Fixed charts to show the same colour for "blocking" across all charts
- Work in progress, currently the "Users" row of buttons is fixed
- Add sort to top and bottom of chart
- Increased log to 50 entries per page from 20
- Added button to unhide all entities
- Upgrading will automatically remove all "hidden" entries on upgrade, figured this was a quality of life thing seen as there was no way to "unhide" them previously
Default changes:
- updated > guest tracking > off
- updated > crawlers > on
Upgrade works fine, but I'd recommend an uninstall and re-install to get optimized defaults and to remove stale statistics.
This update will more accurately detect users adBlocking, hands down, no question.
Re-Install FAQ
- Setup is easy after a re-install
- Just reconnect your [AdBlock Detected] user group in the options
- Whatever it was you named it
- You would have done this through XF, and outside of this add-on, so no worries uninstalling
- Your [AdBlock Detected] user group is not deleted or reset during re-install
- Your users will remain in their user groups as they were before
- Uninstall can take time to drop the MySQL table if you have a large forum, just a heads up
Upgrade FAQ
- Post Upgrade
- Check options as follows:
- Check the "Cron delete batch size" and the number of days to delete
- If you want to keep logs longer, increase the default of 180 days
- The table growing isn't really a big concern, it's well indexed and very light-weight
NOTE IF TRACKING GUESTS:
If you've been tracking Guests all these months/years, you might want to, at the very least, delete guests.
1. Visit: admin.php?wutime-adblock-tracker/
2. Top-right corner, 2nd button, "Clear Logs". Choose "guests". Might take a while.
