rah_unlog_me // Remove your own hits from visitor logs
Adds additional filtering options for visitor logs. Features:
- Automatically filter out hits made by site admins.
- Exclude selected list IPs from logs (bots, search engines).
- Integrates nicely to Textpattern’s native Preferences panel. Very easy to use.

Super, thanks Jukka! I also like it that it shows my own IP. Another very useful plugin :)

Re: rah_unlog_me // Remove your own hits from visitor logs
Hi Jukka,
Today my server’s MySQL went wild prohibiting any connection to the db (error was too many connections). The site has since come back but this plugin returns an error A problem occured while loading the plugin: rah_unlog_me -> User_Warning: Can't open file: 'txp_log.MYI' (errno: 145)
delete from txp_log where ip='xx.xx.xx.xx' on line 85
sorted: had to repair the table:)

An option to exclude via cookie would also be great, if not better!

Hi Marcus. Sorry for the late reply. Currrently the plugin has an option to exclude via a cookie, altho with a small twist. As you probably know it has the option to exclude all user that log in to Textpattern, but the cleaning of the logs is done only on the admin side when the user logs in. This is to reduce database activity and to not use any code on the public pages which could potentially slow the pages.
I’m wondering if you are asking if I could move the unlog code to the public side and exclude the hits altogether from those that has TXP’s login cookie? Or are you asking a possible seperated cookie that could be used to exclude even public visitors? Both methods would be active on the public side tho.
And as a following question; Should it store the IPs that have the cookie set for future use. So the ones that once had the cookie would never come back to the logs.
Someone else can answer the questions too. All opinions are appreciated.

I haven’t taken a look at the plugin for a while. But if it’s currently like you described it’s perfect for my own purposes. I can only speak for myself but for me it’s enough if only admins or registered users get the cookie set. IP storage is not a solution, at least not in Germany where ISPs are serving dynamic IP addresses that change with every new connection to the internet.
Thanks for your effort!

Re: rah_unlog_me // Remove your own hits from visitor logs
Released version 1.0 of rah_unlog_me. Changes are pretty — something — atleast visually. The plugin no longer has its own admin pane. Instead, now the plugin integrates with TXP’s own native preferences pane and stores the preferences in the database’s main preferences table. Don’t worry, the plugin includes automatic migration script.
Changelog:
- Integrated plugin’s preferences to Textpattern’s native preferences pane.
- Better excluding/removing script. No longer searches IPs from the logs if it doesn’t need to; takes no action when logs are off, and removes the additional IPs from logs only when accessing the logs pane.
- Language string support.
- Now requires TXP 4.0.7 or newer.

Re: rah_unlog_me // Remove your own hits from visitor logs
Version 1.3 released. Changes:
- Changed: Use the exact same method as Textpattern to check logged in user’s IP. Just for consistency, doesn’t really affect anything.
- Removed: JavaScript on Preferences panel. Causes more issues than adds. Not everyone wants everyone to navigate to the plugin’s pane.
