Media Wiki Special Page - Last User Login

Recently Best Way Technologies implemented a MediaWiki implementation at ProCyclopedia.com for training and knowledge dissemination for ProShip. To aid in tracking the use of ProCyclopedia Danila Ulyanov and I created the LastUserLogin MediaWiki extenion.

The LastUserLogin MediaWiki extenion is a two part solution to tracking the last time a user accessed a MediaWiki instance.

First the wfUpdateUserTouched function updates the user table each time a user views a page. This was necessary to ensure that personnel that used the login cookie where being tracked as well. If this feature is not required the function can be removed and only the last login will be shown

Second the special page shows a sortable grid. This grid shows the User ID, name, email and the last time that they viewed a page (or logged in if wfUpdateUserTouched is removed).

Planned enhancements include making the User ID a link to the users page and adding a link to show a history of pages that the user has viewed.

Farewell to Pope John Paul II

Though I may not agree with the politics of the Roman Catholic church. I want to send my regards to all who morn the passing of Pope John Paul II.
