5.0.4 Overview

This user plugin tracks successful and failed login attempts, the connecting IP address, the OS, Browser (and version) and of course - the time attempted. Available in /administrator and optionally in the user profile (only visible to the owning user), this plugin offers an AJAX powered IP lookup, providing some rudimentary details from a free lookup service.

 

Installation

  1. Download Auth Log from the RicheyWeb download page.

Why is this software free?

I’m ditching the freemium game and giving this software to the Joomla crowd for free. It’s a nod to “Jumla”—Swahili for “all together”—because fragmentation sucks, and I’d rather focus on innovation and paid gigs. Use it, build with it, and if you need custom work, I’m super into that.

What's The Catch?

There isn’t one! I’m all about building tools that empower the Joomla community and spark creativity. This software’s free because I’d rather see it in your hands - fueling awesome projects. If you really feel like paying something, I’d appreciate a review in the Joomla Extension Directory—your feedback means a lot!
