Can I keep a log of users last log in?
On a site of mine that uses ign_password_protect, I’d like to see when people have last logged in. I’m aware that I can see the last month they’ve logged in on the users tab, but I’d like to at least see the day as well. If there was a way of keeping a log that would be even nicer.
Is there any plugin that accomplishes this? I’m starting out to code PHP/MySQL, so if it would be a simple thing to do pointers on how to achieve this would be welcomed too…

Re: Can I keep a log of users last log in?
I don’t know of a plugin but here are some pointers: in the txp_users field of the database, there’s a field called last_access which is of type datetime. You can use the php function strftime (or rather txp’s in-built safe_strftime) to render the timestamp in whatever format you want by specifying the string format as shown on the strftime page.
This means you should be able to do something like this:
<p>Last logged in on <txp:php>global $txp_user; echo safe_strftime('%e %B %Y at %l:%M %p', $txp_user['last_access']);</txp:php></p>to get Last logged in on 8 March 2009 at 12:39 am.
Maybe that helps. Note that if you are using the ign-own user table and not txp_users (set in the prefs), you need to target that database field instead.
