Installing

2. Copy and paste the installation code into the Install plugin box of your Textpattern Plugin pane.
3. Run the automated setup.
4. After the setup is done, activate the plugin. Done.

Configuring

After installation, you can find rah_unlog_me’s settings from Textpattern’s Preferences panel, next to other logging related options.

Preferences

Rah_unlog_me will add couple new settings to Textpattern’s Preferences panel. These include an option to automatically exclude admins from logs and a field to define a list of additional IPs to filter out. The settings are as follows.

Exclude site authors’ IPs from the logs?

If set to Yes, site admins’ IP addresses are removed from the visitor logs when the users logs in to Textpattern control panel.

Additional IPs to exclude from the logs (comma-separated)

The second option of rah_unlog_me is a field where you can define a comma-separated (,) list of IPs which will be excluded from the logs.

This option supports wildcards. % matches any number of characters, and _ matches exactly one character. With the wildcards it’s easy to exclude whole address blocks. Following would exclude local devices from the visitor log:

::_%, fc00::_%, 10._%, 127._%, 172.16._%, 192.168.0._%
