I know there was no need I was wanting to know the purpose of why the changes to the PHP file... :)

If we did not add the php, the host address was sent to the site instead of the ipaddress. (thru the whosonline part anyway). Adding the php allowed for the host address to be displayed while allowing for the ipaddress to be passed.

Not true for me, I stil was able to see the ip info for who ever was online with no problems.

That's right, you are able to see the "IP" address on who's online, not the Host's address. :) With the php addition, you see the host's address (the IP address resolved) and the IP is passed. ;)

Very nice hack :)

Installs ;)

Cool. I can do the same with just a template mod, using the URL you provided. Thanks. :)

To achieve a similar result without hacking, just do this:

Replace the template "threads_displayip" with this content:

Replace the template "whosonlinebit_ip" with this:

Now, when you click on the IP link in a post, or the IP address in Who's Online, you get the same info. :) No need hacking.

That's great, Erwin, but how can we get the host address to show in who's online with just a template hack? I think that was the reason for the php hack part of this. :)

Erwin, I changed one of your lines of code a little to add the username of the person who's post you select the view the IP address in and also to center it. Makes it a little nicer to have the name in front of you, too. :)

works great for addresses in the US but we have members from all over the world several from New Zealand and heaps from England and even onw from the UAE and well i'm from AUZ

but i found a error on that site.. one member i know is from just outside of chicargo(SP?) but his IP address came up as phillidelphia(SP?)

The IP address may reflect the member's ISP location rather than his own home location if he is surfing via a proxy server etc.

Thats true... aol is a royal pain in the ass about this. Glad you guys enjoyed the hack. As i mentioned before... im new at this so... :rolleyes:

This looks awesome.
Nice work :)

Is there a way to limit only admins to view members IP's in the current active users?

May have already been answered but have not been able to find it.

It's an option in the Admin CP under vBulletin Options.

**clicks lnstall**

10x man INSTALL :D

very nice, thanks

This is simply one of the best hacks I've ever installed. Outstanding work, me and the mods will love this. Its a pain having to copy an ip, goto visualroute and trace it there, but this makes things so much snappier.

/DEFINETLY clicks install.

Nice hack - Installed :)

Thanks for all the comments! I still use this hack almost everyday!

Very, very cool.

Working perfectly with 2.3.0. Thanks for the excellent hack!

ah damnit

"The IP Address that you are currently using:...has exceeded it's reasonable usage limit, and has been temporarily blocked from accessing this service. Please try back again later."

i was quite dissapointed when i tried to locate someone and it didn't work. networld map said:

We are currently unable to locate the address blah blah blah blah at this time. (replace blah with ip address :)

I suppose cause it's not a well known place or ip address.

Other than that instance it's a great piece of code.

I put this on a site with vbportal and it only works if you click the locate at the top.
and paste the ip in.

It didn't put locate under each ip...

great hack, thanks ranger

:rolleyes: This hack works great! The only thing that I am having problems with it is that when I first put the hack in with all the .php and template changes, I could see the host address then the locate right after and it worked great but in about 10 min later only the locate option was available and no more host address of the ip anymore. What went wrong? Do i have to change something? Thanks. :rolleyes:

This worked out nice! Thank you, and thank you to Erwin as well for his contribution which I ended up using.

:)

Has anyone hacked this for VB3?
