It is because php function (mkdir) cannot create a folder inside xoops_data folder when its chmod is below 755.

There is no automatic folder creation code for that.

there is only 2 solutions for this issue:

1- user should create folder xoops_data/userlog manually and set chmod=755

2- we should decide move that folder to xoops_data/caches/userlog (which is not a good location for important logs)

I only could add more error checking to the codes.(I commit to the svn now) but you should follow one of the above solutions.
please create "userlog" folder manually and let me know if you have any more issues.
thank you.

Ok, I will test in few hours, with your latest version.

Maybe the solution is to specify somewhere users to chmod 777 the xoops_data folder.

Does this use a php runonce, or a javascript tag you have to install, or does it use the database?.

Does it create a tracking cookie?

Yes i add that chmod check in the userlog/admin/index.php (actually 755 is enough)
but it seems it is better to add another sentence to tell user to create the folder manually.

Why?

So, which version I test?

@Cesag:
I added chmod check in old revisions. so you should see the below message in admin/index.php if the xoops_data chmod is under 755. e.g. 750:
Quote:

The folder 'home/blabla/public_html/xoops255/xoops_data' must be with a chmod '755' (it's now set on 750).'


but some minutes ago i add these if your xoops_data folder is under 755:

Quote:

Could not create any folder inside 'home/blabla/public_html/xoops255/xoops_data' because its chmod is under 755.
If you need to store logs in file, you should create folder 'home/blabla/public_html/xoops255/xoops_data/userlog' and set chmod = 755 manually using Cpanel.


Now IMO its completely clear for the user.

IMO the help is completely clear. (install module and read in userlog > help)

but if you can clear it more, i will be glad to add it.

userlog will log users by getting the user_id group_ids and visitor ip from any visitor:

eg: for anone user: uid=0 gid=3 visitor ip = 66.249.66.1
for an admin it would be uid=123 gid=array(1,2,4,6,9) ip= IP

then it check the caches folder (you can find them in xoops_data/caches/xoops_cache) to find a match setting.
priorities are:
IF EXIST uid get it
ELSE IF EXIST gid get it
ELSE IF EXIST ip get it
ELSE IF Unique id = 0 log all users

if there is not any cache setting file then it check database with the above priority.
if there is not any setting for this visitor it will leave it otherwise the user will be logged.
in addition:
once it finds a setting in database it create a cache file for future access for better performance.
