IP logger?

[Deimos]

Just wondering, is there a mod which logs all ip's that log onto any account on a forum?
I want to keep tabs on my forum to check if any admin/mod/super mod accounts are being "shared".

ACP/Users/Search IP Adresses

Enter the username you want to look up and click Find.

But that doesn't show what IP's have logged onto the account in question.
I've logged into my admin account with a proxy, logged out and went back to check and it didn't list it.

yeah, I believe you need to make a post to have an IP logged...is this sufficient to tell if they are being shared?

it logs the ip the account was originally registered with and the ip addresses posts have been made with. so basically its signup ip adress and post/thread ip adresses.

i think logging what ip adress they logged in with is kool but that would be alot of data to store>_<

Yea, that's what I need.

You might try this:


CREATE TABLE iplog (userid int(10) unsigned NOT NULL, ipaddress varchar(16) NOT NULL, dateline int(10) unsigned NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (userid), UNIQUE KEY userip (userid, ipaddress));

Note: If you are using a table prefix you must add it here in front of iplog.


In sessions.php FIND

$sessioncreated = true;

return $session;


REPLACE that with

$sessioncreated = true;
if ($session[userid]) {
$DB_site->query("REPLACE INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "iplog SET userid=$session[userid], ipaddress='$session[host]', dateline=" . TIMENOW);
}

return $session;


This will create or update records in table iplog whenever a new session is created. To view this log you can use the attached ACP-Script.

If you want, you can also add a link in the ACP menu:

In admincp/index.php FIND

construct_nav_option($vbphrase['search_ip_addresses'], 'usertools.php?do=doips', '<br />');


BELOW that ADD

construct_nav_option('IP Log', 'iplog.php?do=searchuser', '<br />');


To keep this simple i've not used phrases, so please forgive me ;)

Keep in mind that this adds a query whenever a new user session is created and the table iplog will get BIG.

I don't know what type of server your on or the cp your useing. But if you are using Ensim, you can get Urchin for a dollar from there site. Urchin is a very powerful tool that wil be able to help you, IMHO.

You might want to consider logging it to a text file on your server. I think its just easier that way and your not bogging down the db as much.

I need to actually do this now a days to keep track of lurking posters. How would you go about doing this now that there isn't a sessions.php file that I can find?
