IpInfo -- Extra user IP information

[Zachariah]

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/03/16.gif IpInfo is a replacement for the standard 'view users ip' option in
vBulletin. Normally when you click on the view ip button in a user's post
you'll only see his or hers ip address and host name.

With ipInfo you'll get more information. Besides the ip address and host
name you will also see what other users have posted with the same ip
address. That feature can be really good for spotting clones.

Another thing ipInfo will show you is what other ips this user has posted
with and how many times. Could be useful when you want to ban all of the
ips of a user and not just the one of that post.

1st post attachment soon

[AdrianH]

Sounds interesting,unfortunately the download does not work Zachariah, I get an error message about an invalid attachment.

[Charlie98902]

Thanks for the update. I am using 3.6.x so I assume that is the same version to use on 3.7 as it does work?

[Charlie98902]

Attachment is the same as the screen shot it works for me.

[AdrianH]

As soon as I post it gets fixed!

I see thanks for the download I posted too early :p

[Zachariah]

Thanks for the update. I am using 3.6.x so I assume that is the same version to use on 3.7 as it does work?

The old version should work with out any problems.
- I added this here to have a VB3.7 version for updated code in later development.

[Charlie98902]

I still have the older template edit but I updated anyhow. Thanks for the work. This is a much needed mod and should be in VB by default I think.

You can revert the template edit. There should be no need for it anymore.

Nice to see an automated template edit.

[Adem GEN?]

Thanks

Suggestion, every a date for IP add

[Mr:Ishi]

thanx a lot man....lets see

[djlotus]

Very useful hack. Thanks much.


INSTALLED

[RMS-Chef]

Thanks for the mod. Where there major changes since older versions?
I had this installed about a year ago and I don't remember it taking so long to load results.

Got just shy of 1Mill. posts and it's taking between 35-50 seconds no matter what the setting is for look back time. Seems the same no matter if it looks back 7 days or 60 days. Is this right?

[slowphantom]

work great for 3.7 gold
thx

[digicom]

Thanks Apprciated:up:

[KURTZ]

intalled! thx Joe :D

[RvG2]

FINALLY Why vB doesn't care on small things like this? :rolleyes:

I remember the days when I am using SMF and I really missed this feature.

Thanks!

[Zachariah]

Everything ok ?
- not a lot of noise from this thread

[KURTZ]

:p hi Johnny, just a question, i saw that by default the records of the users' ip are 60 days ... i've increased this value to 600 ... maybe i can makes my forum slowly? i think that this data goes into the DB ...

Correct
userCount + postCount + timeDays = speed / load

[AdrianH]

Well now you come to mention it..............

This was working beautifully, today I checked a couple of IP's against posts and the info was totally wrong, I then looked at a post of my own,it showed that 13 members also share the same IP which they most certainly do not especially as some are from a different continent and also it shows me as only having one post on that IP yet I have had the same IP for @ 10 days and made a number of posts.:confused:

Have tried re-installing again today but the same thing happened,sadly unistalled for now.

[Angel-Wings]

Everything ok ?

Because it just works fine :)

Installed of course

[zlos]

Installed :)

Suggestions:
- why don't you combine the idea of Multiple Login Detector (AEdetector) with your product, to enable searching for clone-accounts?

- what about banned users (independently if through infractions or pure ban)? would that be possible to make it more visible, that some user is sharing IP with a banned one?


Independently - well done :)

[Sym0n]

Awesome thanks for this one, and the others lol, Zachariah. Really missed this functionality from phpBB.

[King Justice]

Check version for this plugin is not working..recheck/update code for this feature please..

For me it takes approx. 10-15 seconds to see the screen.
Why is the MySQL query taking so long for me? My site works pretty fast apart of this one, single query...

[DDIG]

Great mod, thanks a lot. I was used to this, SMF had many options just like this.

Hey Zachariah,

I've installed this but nothing seems to have changed.... I'm still getting taken to postings.php?do=getip&p=xxxx

Any ideas?

[dfc005]

False alarm. Seems to be working now after I played around with another template. Must have just needed refreshing. Good mod!

[FractalizeR]

Zachariah, can you please add a hook, that will allow to insert additional information into your hack's page online?

[soundbarrierpro]

Yeh, they dont' work together. That would be sweet if you guys could. I have zac's installed working nicely. It'd be great to have both.

Not bad, there may be a few people that need on-line trace tools.

I haven't upgraded since 3.6.8 or earlier. Using 3.7.3 pl1 now. Since it is version 1.5 for both. Is that fine or are there any changes on the 3.7.x version since 3.6.x?

[Zachariah]

no changes. There are plans to expand this idea and spill it over to the blogs, project tools, profile messenger, social groups ect .. There are a few more, but I have not dove deep into DEV yet.

BTW: also works on VB 3.8 alpha 2 :D

[Sunka]

Installed.
Working good. Thanks!

[Sunka]

Is this MOD working on vBulletin v3.8.0?

[Wizardjv]

After upgrading to 3.8, eventhough you have it set for Admin only, the Mods can see the ipinfo. Is there anyway to fix this? I love this hack and would hate to have to remove it.

I'll have to look @ it.
- It should not be to hard to trace.


On another note, I plan to expand this to blogs, project tools, profile comments, social groups and other places I find that shows IP on comments.

I just hope that doesn't mean template edits will be back.. :p

I'm really glad that you're going to improve on this already great mod! One request I do have though is posts by guests/unregistered are still traced back, in case a registered user is posting that way.

Thanks :)

It should not have a problem.

[Alfa1]

Great. I will wait for your next version. Please include online tracing tools.

Do mind that most online tracing tools do not show correct information, as they often trace an IP trough the wrong service. i.e. tracing a European IP trough ARIN can give the wrong results, while tracing it trough RIPE gives the correct results.

Yes it works in 3.8, I have not added anything new yet, so I have not posted a thread in the 3.8 area.

[Hornstar]

I am thinking of installing this, but Just read above that you have a new version in the pipeline. If the update is just around the corner I may wait for your improved version. Have you got a rough ETA on when you think you might be done?

[GSeybold]

Hello John,
Excellent mod. I just have one small problem my admin account is showing in under my mods accounts. I'm a doing something wrong. I love this mod, this should be standard. Great job. MOTM for sure. :D Also, are there setting options for this in the ACP?

Zachariah can you please figure out why mods can still view the IP Info even they are set to not be able to view IP Addresses? I have had to uninstall this mod because of this.

[daxxer]

can this be made to cross reference the other ip's shown for last 60 days? It would be nice to know if there were hits on any other users for these ip's as well ...

Brilliant mod! I'm a moderator of gaming tournament forums, and this mod has been a huge help in discovering banned users creating new names. Combined with a proxy detection mod, this is great with keeping certain users off the forums. I'm more than excited to install this on my own forums.

Oh, Yeah.
I had problems of many gamers that loved to come on as other names to post in favor / disfavor of an argument to try and win in a point of view. I ended up getting rid of 5-700 members that did nothing but fight, piss and moan.

Yes, very much so. It's currently working for version 3.8.4 on my forum.

Just curious, in #49 and #52, how do you know what code was changed? I can see in #52 it was noted "Start New". But do you just have to compare #49 to the orginal code? Just a Newbie asking....

Love the mod and we use it a lot. Just a quick question. I have a ton of screenames IP addresses coming up under the Forum Admin account and I'm not sure why. I know if I manually add a member from my location that this will happen but I have at least 50 members or more listed as sharing the Forum Admin's IP address. I'm running 3.84

Can you advise? Thanks a million :)
