[Release] Show users ip on forum home [for gaming boards]

[Brad]

Hack: User ip on forumhome

What it dose: When a user is logged in it shows their current ip on the forums home page right after 'Welcome back 'username here'.

Why install?

If you run a gaming board this can be useful to your users if they run servers.

Nice mod, I remember this one for another software. ;)

[[JAB] Ben]

Ben]I run a vBulletin forum for a Gaming Community.

I tried your mod and the mod for the drop down menu to select a style but both are not working.

For the IP, I only see "Welcome back, [JAB] Ben your ip is " without an IP and without the menu.

I followed your instruction to the letter.

I run a vBulletin v2.2.2 over a FreeBSD, running a MySQL engine.

Maybe it's because it's not up to date? (2.2.9)

Thank you! :)

If his doesn't work, try this:

add to phpinclude:

$currentip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];


Then use $currentip instead of $bbuserinfo[ipaddress]. It might be because you're using an old version, yes.

[Brad]

Its the verson, it was tested and ran fine on 2.2.8 and 2.2.9 RC.

then what would $bankuser[bankval] on a old vb version?

[filburt1]

Huh? :confused:

[imported_TMG1]

I want to show the persons cash in the bank the same way as the ip but its not working heh.

O_o I dont think this has anything to do with this mod...

[filburt1]

Right, it's a hack.

[imported_TMG1]

naw it has to do with the forumhome template

[Rufus69]

and a hack..

[imported_TMG1]

its like showing money on your forum home im talking templates

[filburt1]

There is no bank feature standard in vB. It's a hack.

On an unrelated note why are you running such an old version of vB. Anything before 2.2.8 has a critical XSS bug.

[imported_TMG1]

so why are people coming out with quick reply stuff on these boards then hmmm?

[filburt1]

Quick Reply can be in mod form. I did it 100% myself with just template changes at my boards, so the hack isn't needed.

[imported_TMG1]

i dont care people release **** for quick reply and thats ok but a simple money on your forum home cant be told! pretty gay.

[Rufus69]

goto www.vbulletin.org ...

[[JAB] Ben]

Ben]Thanks for the replies everyone...

I will get my Host to update our version to 2.2.8 at least...

If it's working, I will tell you guys soon! :)
