\#Laravel 4 VisitorLog

A package for Laravel 4 to log all visitors

If anyone has any ideas on how to make this framework agnostic, please contact me or open a pull request.

\##Installation

Add `uniacid/visitor-log` as a requirement to `composer.json`:

```
{
    ...
    "require": {
        ...
        "uniacid/visitor-log": "dev-master"
        ...
    },
}
```

Update composer:

```
$ php composer.phar update

```

Add the provider to your `app/config/app.php`:

```
'providers' => array(

    ...
    'Uniacid\VisitorLog\VisitorLogServiceProvider',

),
```

Add the alias to your `app/config/app.php`:

```
'aliases' => array(

    ...
	'Visitor'		  => 'Uniacid\VisitorLog\Visitor',

),
```

Publish migration:

```
$ php artisan migrate --package=uniacid/visitor-log

```

(Optional) Publish package config:

```
$ php artisan config:publish uniacid/visitor-log

```

\##Configuration

- `onlinetime`: The time (in minutes) while a visitor is still saved
- `usermodel`: Set this to the Auth Provider you're using:
    - `Laravel`: Visitor-Log will try to get the User with Laravel's Auth Class
    - `Sentry`: Visitor-Log will try to get the User with Sentry
- `ignore`: This is an array of pages that will be ignored by Visitor-Log. Example "admin/online"

\##The Visitor Class The Visitor Class is an Eloquent Class but has a few extra methods, which will be explained here.

- `static isOnline($id)`: Will check whether the user with `$id` is online
- `static getCurrent()`: Will get the current Visitor (based on their sid)
- `static clear()`: **Buggy!!** This removes all old visitors from the Database. You normally don't need to call this as this happens on every request.
- `static loggedIn()`: Will get all logged in Users
- `static guests()`: Will get all guests
- `static findUser($id)`: Will get the User provided by `$id` (if online)
- `static findIp($ip)`: Will get all visitors with `$ip`
- `isUser()`: Checks whether this visitor is a User
- `isGuest()`: Checks whether this visitor is a Guest

There are a few methods that wraps the specific Useragent method:

- `is_browser()`: Checks whether this visitor uses a browser
- `is_robot()`: Checks whether this visitor is a bot
- `is_mobile()`: Checks whether this visitor uses a mobile client
- `is_referral()`: Checks whether this visitor is a referral

The Visitor Class also provides some attributes:

- `sid`: A random String which is used to identicate the visitor
- `ip`: The IP of the visitor
- `page`: The Page where the visitor is
- `useragent`: The useragent of the visitor
- `user`: The UserID of the visitor
- The timestamps (`created_at`, `updated_at`)
- `agent`: Returns the useragent Instance used for this visitor
- `agents`: Returns the modified Agentstring (eg Opera 12.16)
- `platform`: Returns the operating System
- `browser`: Returns the Browser which is used
- `version`: Returns the Browser version which is used
- `robot`: Returns the Botname which is browsing your site
- `mobile`: Returns the mobile which is used
- `referrer`: Returns the referrer

\##What's with an "Who's online page"? It's really easy to add one by yourself but Visitor-Log provides you already a very simple one: simply add `@include("visitor-log::online")` to your blade template where you want. And the best: It's ready to look nice with bootstrap
