Re: [Ian] [iUNI] User Monitor II - Released In reply to
Highlights of new features/fixes in Version 2:


* Added 'User Since' to the statistics readout for each user

* Added automated recording of user sign-up date. The date yyyy-mm-dd (based on your server's time) will be automatically recorded in your UM_UserSince column when a new user sucuessfully submits the sign-up form. Note: the new user will not show up in your statistics until they are validated (if you have this feature turned on) or they submit their validation code.

* Corrected the TopXUserRating tag to only show validated users

* Added automatic redirection to the user login form, when a user who is not logged in tries to access the user profile update form (umfprofile.cgi).

* Added the ability to turn on or off title in topx list with a plug-in option setting (Available from the plug-in options)

* Corrected issue with user reivews displayed on both static and dynamically created profile pages (Incorrect review ID)

* Added stage 1 of automated reward depositing with admin definable reward settings. Stage 1 includes:

UMSetttings Table
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Login Depost: 1 <<NEW
Daily Login Deposit Limit: 3 << planned for future version
Validated Review Deposit: 5 << planned for future version (requires future version of Links SQL)
Validated Link Deposit: 5 <<NEW
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

* User profile images.

User image upload and display added.
Users have the ability to change image on profile update page. (Restrictions on image size not added in this version).

* User Directory

A user directory has been added. The user directory is template based (um_userlist.html) and is dynamically produced using um_userdir.cgi.

Users are NOT required to be logged in to see the user directory. Usernames in the list are hyperlinked to a dynamically created profile page by default, but can easily be changed by editing the template file (um_userlist.html).

User names with spaces are not allowed by default, but can easily be permitted by escaping the username in the hyperlink.

Pagination has been added.

You beat me to it :)

This is not a full list (there is not one other than looking at old post and stuff on my forum, as well as here). But you can get an idea of the new features right here.

On a side note, for anyone looking at the user profiles on my site, I'm still using the older version of UM....I'll be updating it this weekend. :)

Here is a link to a user profile using UMII.

This is a "Crash Test Dummy" user but you can see a lot of the features here.

Hi Ian,

After beta testing the UMII plugin I am really impressed. While UMI was an excellent plugin UMII expands the user functionality to all new levels.

I can see a lot of cross development and expansion capabilities especially for those that own Editor Monitor and User Monitor. That was a very cool idea making one plugin recognize the other.

As well, the addition of Image upload is a real winner.

This plugin will not only add features to a website, it will also build a community!

Nice work!Cool

 Version 2.1.2

Two new custom tags have been added allowing you to display a link to, or the actual user image in any of your templates.

User Has Image Tag

<%Plugins::UserMonitor::hasimage('Username')%> Use this tag to test if a user has an image. This tag can be used in conditional statements such as <%if Plugins::UserMonitor::hasimage('Username')%>Do Something Here<%endif%>

User Image URL Tag

<%Plugins::UserMonitor::userimage_url('Username')%> Use this tag as part of your hyperlinks when you wish to display a user's image.
