AdBlock Usergroup Swap & Tracker v3.1.0

• FIX: JavaScript load issues
• FIX: Using cache corrupts javascript and prevents tracking (redis, maybe others)
• Update: (temporary) Caching completely disabled as it interferes with JS packer encryption

Please refer to the images posted along with this version update for a visual explanation.

Tracking issues are now resolved.

• FIXED: Front-end tracking on XF 2.3
• FIXED: Resolved a very frustrating authentication issue with XF's Ajax
• FIXED: Removed the last occurrence of front-end jQuery

This build is front-end / visitor friendly with XF 2.3.

The administration charts / logs in the back end still need updating. I'll spend this week on it.

Do Not Use with XF2.3

There's a glaring issue with the Ajax post, not least of which is there's still a tidbit of jQuery included.

I'll work on this as soon as possible.

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.

• Added browser detection for "googleweblight" crawler user agent
• Randomized a key element

• Usergroup swap rate modifier (increase limits for users that abuse usergroup swapping)
• Increases number of non-detections required linearly as the number of previous usergroup swaps increase
