What do you mean "again" ? at no point have you previously confirmed you have done any edits, and the fact you get PROXYIP means that either you haven't, or you have done them incorrectly, or you haven't uploaded them, or some other problem with them. You cannot get that error if the edits are correct and in use.

ok i'm thinking you would have known we do edits before we actually post a problem. Yes i uploaded the xml file..and I did the edits and still the same thing..Now if I did something wrong..I'm sorry...But...could I send you the file so you can yourself? Its to long to post on here.

Yes, you can send me the file.

sent u an email..THANKS!!

Thanks great Hack/Mod

Very nice mod. Thanks :)

~ Crys ^^

Still working when upgraded good mod still! :)

thanks paul for checking!!!! works like a charm!!!

Can you please help me out, I upgraded to the latest version of vbulletin and now I get this:

The Real IP Address is: 74.110.33.163
CPE0011114f0fcf-CM00407b876e1a.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com
The Proxy Server IP Address is: PROXYIP

I did the file updates just as I did before, I am attaching my updated file.

Can you please tell me where I went wrong?

Thank you in advance for your help :)

I've removed the file as you are not permitted to upload complete vb files.

However, I checked it first and found no issues - are you sure you have actually uploaded it (to the correct place). Also, if you run your own server and use a php cache, make sure that is reset so it picks up the new file.

Paul, yes, it is uploaded to the includes folder and I do not run my own server. The only thing different from the last time I used it was I upgraded to the latest version of VB. Would you be able to take a look for me? Please let me know.

If you want to PM me ftp and admin access details then yes, I can take a look.

ok weird, i don't know if you had a chance to look already, but it looks like I am only seeing that on 1 thread in a hidden forum. I am seeing that for everyone, including myself. The rest of the board seems to have the regular icon. weird.

Installed and lookin good, thanks Paul.

now suppose they don't post...is there anyway we can detect if you click on their profile or even view whos online?

As is says ;

Along with all the other Ip addresses right? Wouldn;t it be better for that certain person using a server to stand out when viewing whos online? Like have a star or something beside their name? Or even admins will get emails or pm notifications when someone is using one? Just a thought..lol Thanks Paul.

This may seem like a lame question, but how do I know it's working? I'm running vBull. 3.6.7 PL1 and I have the newest version of IP info running as well (v1.0.3)

I've installed your product - being meticulous on editing the php file right. Followed the instructions to a T and....now what?

Is there anyway to test the product, or should I just wait and watch the "users online" page? Any suggestions?

Unless you have access to a proxy server (that passes on it's details) then there isn't much you can do except keep an eye out.

I not able to see the icon anywhere. I've uploaded the px.gif to both default and chestnut style's button dir. Can anyone post a screen shot of this mod so I can understand where the button shows? Thanks in advance.

Problem Solved.

Installed ;)

sorry, im such a newb... but can someone tell me WHERE I go to install this, i downloaded the file and have it up but i need to know where exactly to go to edit:
class_core.php ;

Find ;

function fetch_ip()
{
return $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
}

class_core.php is one of the standard vbulletin files (in the includes folder).

3.6.8 i just updated to..and all the members have that red icon on their post. Any updates?

You have remembered this from the main post ?

I'm having problems with this on 3.6.8. All posts have the "Proxy Detected" Red IP box, and when you click on it, it says:

The Real IP Address is: (whatever that users IP is)
(the hostname)
The Proxy Server IP Address is: PROXYIP

Help!

Read the post above yours.

I installed it last night and everything is working as stated
thanks Paul
v3.6.8

Thanks for this hack. I have 3.6.7_pl1 at the moment. I would love to see this with no code edits... do you think the necessary hook will ever be available?

One thing that I like to have, is a report for me and our staff to see who has been using proxies lately.

Below I present a SQL query for such a report and an xml export of a report for those who are using Logician's excellent WebTemplates mod.

The above query gives you how many posts by a proxy for each user, in total.

The attached XML file list username, proxy ip, real ip for the last 30 days in descending order of post date.

It will never happen because the edited code is part of the very basic core code that is run before the hook system is even initialized.

Most of my members now display a red button and when I check it out this is displayed:
"The Proxy Server IP Address is: PROXYIP"
This is even displayed for myself and I sure am not on a proxy. How can I fix this?

You fix it by doing the required file edits.

The file edits instructions do no longer match vb 3.6.8's class_core.php's content.

Step 3:
Find:
This is not there. What is there is:
I assume that this would need to be replaced. But since I am no coder and it seems more has been altered in class_core.php's content, I am not certain.

You need to re-read the instructions ;

Step 3 clearly states ;



Steps 4 & 5 state ;

I seem to have been working with an older version of the instructions. I have now applied the new instructions to vb 3.6.8, but this has not solved it. Do I need to wait for a cron job to be passed or is there something else I need to do?

I'm not sure what you mean isn't solved. If you have done the file edits correctly then new posts posts will now contain the correct data. Old posts will not be updated.

That explains it. Thanks.

I am having som problems on 3.6.8 version, I cant find the code in step 2. in the class_core.php, so I dont know where to put replacmen code given in the instructions? Help!!!

THNX in front!

Missing code:

If you have the default class_core file for 3.6.8 then the code is there, perhaps your text editor is not searching properly, try just looking for "// fetch client IP address".

nice thanks
