TNG Addons
I have been a TNG user since version 3, and a member of the TNG Forum (now Community) since 2003. I do not upgrade TNG with each new version unless there is a new feature that I want for this site. I upgraded from TNG 8 to 12 (February 2019) due to PHP and MYSQL version changes on my web host.
Site characteristics:
- TNG version 12.0.3
- require login
- no template
- no dropdown menus
Addons written by Robert Morss (TNG Community User: rdmorss).
These are all stand-alone scripts that do not modify any TNG core scripts.
Log Analytics (AKA loglook.php)
A different take on the presentation of genlog.txt allowing you to drill down by date, page, and user. Uses regular expressions to parse log lines and compile report tables. Also has ip/hostname lookup.
All TNG Help files available (in the languages folder) for browsing and searching from a single page.
A big downside to the mailing list archive is the lack of an index or search function.This script provides a subject index, top subjects, and top authors from the archive of tngusers2 - the primary user-to-user mailing list for TNG.
It works by scraping the archive files from the TNG list archive website and parsing the content for display in the script.
Same treatment for the TNG author's announcement mailing list: subject index, top subjects, and top authors from the archive of tngusers.
Addons from the TNG Wiki that I use on this site.
Sites which require login will keep out web-bots, but present a hurdle for human visitors that do not want to create a login just to see the site.In this mod, the login form is automatically filled in with a default guest login username and password. Requires editing of TNG core file loginlib.php
This site requires login for most content, but allows visitors to see specific pages as specified by this mod. Requires editing of TNG core file checklogin.php
Code snippets by Robert Morss.
Shows the user's login status and permissions.
Your Profile Not logged in Permissions Submit Edits
Shows the number of guests and registered users that have logfile entries within in the last X hours or days. Lists usernames of registered users. Guest total includes visitors not logged in plus any login accounts designated as guest accounts.
Last 48 Hours 2 Guests
0 Users
Shows the user an alphabetical drop-down list of the last 10 pages he/she visited on the site during his/her current session. Allows user to easily revisit pages. Requires modification to TNG core file log.php
Cookies and Sessions
Both cookies and sessions are used in TNG to store data as visitors move from page to page of the website. Cookies are stored on the client computer, session variables are stored on the server. TNG also uses config variables to maintain state: these are stored in config.php and are controlled via Admin>Setup.
Contents of $_COOKIE
Array ( )
Contents of $_SESSION
Two of the above addons (loglook and recent visitors) make use of the session array.
Array
(
[session_language] => English
[session_charset] => UTF-8
)
