Wow... a backlink for like... 2 lines of code? No way I'm installing this.

ob_start();
$logect_ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$php_include = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
vB_Template::preRegister('footer',array('logect_ip ' => $logect_ip));
can be reduced to:
vB_Template::preRegister('footer',array('logect_ip ' => $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']));
the output buffer thing is just completely useless and adds unnecessary process to your mod.

also lol @ 2 vB_TemplateParser for placing just a link into the footer... are you serious about this? :D

i would not suggest this product

1) it has external advertising when clicking on IP address it links to http://www.logect.com/

2) you need to be aware of the law before revealing someones IP address on there site, potentially what this mod does it a link track, http://www.logect.com/ will track its IP address as its a referral from your own website

@ LOGECT

In my opinion, everything you release is basically spam.

Your other (previous) modifications were complete dependent on your site as everything actually loaded on your site (see translation modifications).

Stop using and copying (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=2286073#post2286073) my mod if you think that is a spam!

How about this? Logged In and Logged Out. And it checks for proxies.

[Disasterpiece]

Good to see that you finally got to your senses. It might still be somewhat overpowered to use a product for something you could accomplish with templatevars, but at least it's fairplay without the unnecessarily blown-up code and the backlink.

//e: @boofo: that actually looks damn nice. I just can't think of any use case where a user might want to see that kind of information (since he already knows which browser/os he's using, but still. :up:

[Boofo]

The browser part of it is nice especially in Opera when I have to mask myself on the site in Firefox because Opera seems to make the Find feature in the templates edit disappear. Plus if you are testing stuff in different browsers and get confused, like us old people do sometimes. ;)

I basically did it to see if I could actually pull it off.

Hi Boofo, it looks nice, but you can't get the "real" IP address for sure unless you implement some sort of authentication protocol at the application layer that encodes the IP address,
the IP data packet can be rewritten arbitrarily by someone "in the middle" who has access to it. E.g., a proxy, router, gateway, etc.

[Boofo]

So YOU say. ;)

Thank you for the kind words. I am updating the mod now as sort of a footer toolbox that will have the copyright text from the $vboptions as a setting and phrase as well as an "extended Time is now" display. I will be adding more to it as time goes on.
