Nice idea – I will look into that one 🙂 At least something to keep track of logins and failed attempts.
Things are looking good – I have the plugin currently logging all login attempts, as well as attempts to use the lost password form. Now I just need to get it to log a few more useful things 🙂
The plugin is just about complete, but there is still more to be done. Here is some sample data from the log file. It should be pretty self-explanatory:
LOGIN ATTEMPT [user: ] [pass: NO]
ERROR: The username field is empty. ERROR: The password field is empty.
LOGIN ATTEMPT [user: test] [pass: NO]
ERROR: The password field is empty.
LOGIN ATTEMPT [user: test] [pass: YES]
ERROR: Invalid username.
PASS RECOVERY ATTEMPT [login: test] [email: test@test.net]
ERROR: Invalid username / e-mail combination.
LOGIN ATTEMPT [user: admin] [pass: YES]
LOGIN SUCCESS [user: admin]
Each line is prefixed with the date, time, and ip of visitor of course.
Right now logging is just done to a data file, but a table in the database is certainly an option. I was also thinking about a nice log viewer in the admin panel.
So does anyone think they would find this useful? If so, I will continue with it 🙂
Run with it – I’d use it. Lord knows I can’t stand logging into my domain control panel to view Apache logs to see whats going on.
Are you also adding logging for Post history?
Post history is a good idea as well. I suppose I could set up options so the user can decide what gets logged.
I am certainly going to continue with this – once I get a few other things finished up 🙂 Stay tuned!
Well, where were you when I first noticed this post? 😛
j/k – Nice work! 🙂
