Track if the users have read documents Sharepoint 2010 Document Center - sharepoint

Question

I want to track if the users have read sharepoint 2010 document center's documents, currently user infos are not stored in audit logs, is there any way to do it?

Answer 1

It gets stored in audit logs.
Enable auditing for that particular document library and then get the details using the following code:
SPSite oSPsite = new SPSite
SPList doclib= oSPWeb.Lists["doclib"];
SPWeb oSPWeb = oSPsite.OpenWeb()
SPListItemCollection doclibitems= doclib.Items;
foreach (SPListItem odoclibItem in doclibitems)
{
odoclibItem .Audit.AuditFlags = SPAuditMaskType.View;
// odoclibItem .Audit.AuditFlags = SPAuditMaskType
SPAuditQuery oquery = new SPAuditQuery(oSPsite);
oquery.RestrictToListItem(odoclibItem );
odoclibItem .Audit.Update();
SPAuditEntryCollection oAuditEntryCollection =SPsite.Audit.GetEntries(oquery);
foreach (SPAuditEntry entry in oAuditEntryCollection)
{
if (entry.Event == SPAuditEventType.View)
{
id = Convert.ToString(entry.UserId);
// get the user name and other details here
}
}
}

I found the solution. Here is the steps.
1- Create a class library.
2- Right click the library and add new item.
3- Select ASP.NET Module under Web node.
4- Add PreRequestHandlerExecute event handler inside Init.Here is my code.
public void Init(HttpApplication context)
{
context.PreRequestHandlerExecute += context_PreRequestHandlerExecute;
}
5- Methods
void context_PreRequestHandlerExecute(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
{
var app = sender as HttpApplication;
if (app != null)
{
string requesturl = app.Request.Url.ToString();
string file = string.Empty;
// if document opens in browser
if (app.Request.QueryString["Source"] != null && app.Request.QueryString["id"] != null && app.Request.QueryString["Source"].StartsWith(documentSiteUrl))
{
file = app.Request.QueryString["id"].Remove(0, app.Request.QueryString["id"].LastIndexOf('/'));
Worker(file);
}
// if document opened installed office apps or downloaded the document
if (requesturl.StartsWith(SiteUrl))
{
requesturl = requesturl.Remove(0, requesturl.LastIndexOf('/') + 1);
Worker(requesturl);
}
}
});
}
private void Worker(string requesturl)
{
#region ext control
List<string> extList = new List<string>(Exts.Split(';'));
bool result = false;
foreach (string item in extList)
{
if (requesturl.EndsWith(item))
{
result = true;
break;
}
}
#endregion
if ((!requesturl.Contains(".aspx")) && (!requesturl.EndsWith("/")) && result)
{
SPWeb web = SPContext.Current.Web;
String fileName = requesturl.Substring(requesturl.LastIndexOf("/") + 1);
// Add log
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
AddReadInfo(web.CurrentUser, fileName, web);
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
}
}
private void AddReadInfo(SPUser sPUser, string fileName, SPWeb web)
{
#region Logging
SPList logList = web.Lists.TryGetList("LogList");
if (logList != null)
{
SPListItem item = logList.Items.Add();
item["User"] = sPUser.Name;
item["Document"] = fileName;
item["Read"] = "Read";
item.Update();
}
#endregion
}
6- Don't forget signing the project.
7- Build Project.
8- Add dll to GAC and BIN folder under the C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80\ folder.
9- Open IIS Manager.
10- Find your site nod and select.
11- Open Modules.
12- Right click under modules page and select Add Managed Module option.
13- Give a name and select your module under dropdownlist.
14- IIS reset.
