IpInfo -- Extra user IP information (VB4)

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.

[Robru]

Thank you for sharing this mod :)

[Mastermaik]

Thx, nice Mod, installed

[whitedd]

finaly...installed...

[steve1966]

thanks gonna try

[Doctor Death]

Nice, works great. Would be interesting to display a thumbnail map with a pin in it.

[princeedward]

thanks gonna try this one...

:p

[pablete]

Thank's. Installed and tagged.

[AzzidReign]

This can be quite useful!

[Hornstar]

This would be great if it also included that proxy hack with this. That way it would also tell you if it is a proxy IP and then tell you their real IP.

Anyway, tagged for when I upgrade.

[Sador]

I really missed this from my vB3 board. Thanks a lot!

[Charlie98902]

Installed and missed this mod since upgrading to vb4.

[DaninMS]

Sweet. Been waiting for this mod. Installing now.

[obiefan]

After installing this I now get the following error:

Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: ipinfo_otherip in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 3893

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/xxxxxx/wwwroot/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/forum/ipinfo.php(126) : eval()'d code on line 1

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance. I missed this from 3.xx

[obiefan]

OK, so I removed and re-added the product, choosing to not overwrite and it is working correctly again! THANKS!

[Alien]

Installed!

Thanks so much for the update to this one!

Bug Report: Please be sure to add in your template, right before </head> this:

{vb:raw headinclude_bottom}

This is a default template that calls "additional.css" which is part of vBulletin since version 4.0.1

Otherwise, looks great!

thx for the update :)

[utahraves]

I love this - except... I would still like to hover over the icon and get the IP address that way via the posts so i don't have to change windows.

Ok, in next ver. :)

[Sador]

Just noticed this only works for the forum... could you perhaps add blog (and CMS, if that has an IP function... not sure..) as well? That would be great.

Good idea, this is something I plan to expand on.

[osayidan]

Will this mod work along side the proxy mod?
(this one: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=231873)

I really like the features of this mod but I put priority over proxy due to the chaos users can sometimes cause when using them.

[Zachariah]

yes this will not have a problem

[osayidan]

Thanks, installed.

[badawidollah]

Was running IPInfo version 1.5 on a vb3.8 board which was recently upgraded to vb4.

Can I use this mod to upgrade the 1.5 version that I currently have installed on my vB4 board?

[mmacrypt]

Got it installed, working great. Thank you very much.

[dearinfinity]

hi.. i get :

XML Error: Invalid character at Line 148

when trying to import the product, what's up?

[BadgerDog]

This one stopped working on our 4.0.4pl1 production system.

All we'd get was a white screen when clicked on and it hung ...

If we disabled the mod, the default vBulletin IP data showed up fine ...

Anyone else have a problem with it?

Thanks .. :)

Regards,
Doug

[SuperTaz]

Installed, thanks.

I'm admin and i can use the php, but how can i let other users such as my staff also see this php info?

I can't find the specific settings to allow others to check more info on ip, they just see the standard vbulletin message.

At the moment it is set to usergroup access

[Acido]

For some reason, i'm getting a blank page when i try to open the ipinfo.php?p=xxxxxx from the posts, with not any error message.
Someone know if this mod have a known coflict with another one?

BTW, i tried unistall and reinstall it several times. I start the installation, upgrading from the vb 3.8 version.

[Dutch_Boy]

Yea i got the same problem :S Blank page when i hit the IP button.

I also upgraded from 3.8.5 to 4.0.5 but i un-installed all the 3.8.x mods before upgrading.

[General of the]

works great on 4.0.5

[Iron Star]

Installed and work well. Thanks.

Is there a way to display IP on profile page?

[Bravo]

Does anyone else get the skin looking all messed up?

[Phaedrus]

Does this work well with the Real IP hack? The one that translates the IP from a proxy to the real IP?

[RedPitSea]

It seems to be installed just find but when I click on the IP button it lists about 200 posters. It claims that all these people are using the same IP address? lol
God I hope not. haha:eek:

THIS MOD GAVE ME A VIRUS!!!
This isnt a joke. I installed it and now it screwed up all my formatting and is making peoples IE crash. Its all jacked up when I view it from my iPhone and iPad. DO NOT INSTALL.
Its completely uninstalled yet its still showing up next to the groan button. I cant wipe it!
TheLobolair.com. Look at the forums! Garbage:mad::mad:

[Alan_SP]

Works fine for me. I just added hook so I can use it with other IP info mods.

Dude, hundreds are using it with no virus. It is more likely that somebody sql'd some code into your php and this just made it obvious.

[HolyKiller]

Works properly with vB 4.1.3

[Danasy]

Works just fine with vb4.1.2.
Thanks.

[Alecsmith]

Working on Vb 4.1.4 patch level 2 :)

[Alecsmith]

Not working with VB 4.1.9 Please update this addon :)

[fulviods]

work fine on 4.1.11 :)

[SuperTaz]

Thank you. Installed. :)

How come there is no image? All I see is a tiny "_" hyperlinked next to infraction button in postbit legacy.

[Zachariah]

How come there is no image? All I see is a tiny "_" hyperlinked next to infraction button in postbit legacy.

The image is located @ /images/buttons/ip.gif it is a default image in vBulletin.

If you are using a custom style for your site make sure you have that image where your new style keeps it's buttons.

[wilford brimley]

4.2 is working.

however, the reason I wanted it is to track guests. I let guests post on my forum. this mod only works for registered users. how can I included unregistered in the mod?

[MentaL]

Very useful.

[MyLibary]

Any update for version 4.2?

[MonkYZ]

On the original IP Info button, when you hover the mouse over it, it shows you the IP used when posting. With this mod, although you get a more detailed IP history page, you can't actually see the IP used when posting (it shows nothing on hover).

Can you please let me know how to make it display the IP on hover? Thanks!

[MonkYZ]

I've noticed on the original IP Info icon, we get this code:
<img class="inline" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/ip-40b.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase ip}" title="{vb:rawphrase ip}: {vb:raw post.ip}" />
So i am guessing the alt and title is actually displaying the IP. Where can we find the code to add this for the IpInfo mod?

[Bubble #5]

Has anyone successfully tested this on 4.2.1 yet?

[ozzy47]

According to this post, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2362433&postcount=59 it is working on 4.2 so I don't see a issue with 4.2.1

Best thing to do is try it out on a test site before using it on your live site. :)

[Bubble #5]

Yeah that's what I figured but I also have Paul's IP mod and was wondering if they'd conflict with each other. I'll try it anyways. Some useful features in this mod. Hope it works :)

[ozzy47]

Are you going to test this on a live site? If so do a backup first in-case something blows up.

[Bubble #5]

Seems to work OK, but it is saying that some members have had a lot of IP addresses over the past 60 days. Is that normal? I think they used verizon. Could verizon be changing it, or is the member changing it? :confused:

[ozzy47]

It could be a few things, a dynamic url, or they are browsing on mobile devices and are getting a url with whatever service they are connecting with.

[Bubble #5]

It could be a few things, a dynamic url, or they are browsing on mobile devices and are getting a url with whatever service they are connecting with.

Well I know they don't have a phone or tablet, so it must be the dynamic url or they are doing it themselves. Is there any way that I can check or verify if it's a dynamic URL?

[ozzy47]

Not that I am aware of.
