You choice I guess, but the changes have no connection with mysql. That's a general timeout error reported many times on vb.com.

Thanks Paul, maybe I'll put it back in awhile if I see these errors from time to time without the hack installed. Seeing them for the first time only after installing the hack, and having the error point to the file that I just modified, made me think there must be some relation, but who knows. (I don't). :-)

Thanks for this mod. It will really help my board with proxy users getting locked out by other users on the same proxy fat fingering their passwords.

Just what I have been looking for.

***INSTALLS***

could you please clear up some uncertainty of mine? proxy and real ip?

you mean by real ip the ip you see when you run cmd /ip? and with proxy the ip you get from you provider?

if thats the case... damn... thank you... where have you been... and all that good stuff. as i am still uncertain as to whether this is what i've been lookin for. but please make that clear to me.

Real ip is the ip you have on the internet, normally provided by your isp. Proxy ip is the ip of any http proxy server you may be routed via (if that proxy passes on the details of you real ip). Real ip is not necessarily the ip of your pc, as you may be on an internal network that uses NAT to access the internet. btw, I have never seen cmd /ip before.

i ment cmd /k ipconfig, so it isn't the actual pcs, ip. that would've been too cool.

It may or may not be, it depends on how that pc connects to the internet.

I love this hack!

Sorry to ask this question but does the px.gif only appear if the thread was posted with a proxy ip?

I installed 3.51 and I see no signs that it is there! Where should I look?

Yes.

When I click on the IP icon below postbit (thread view) it shows this:

$postinfo[username]'s information stored for post: $postinfo[postid]
IP Address : $postinfo[ipaddress].
Host Address : $postinfo[hostaddress].
Alt IP Address : $postinfo[altip].
Alt Host Address : $postinfo[althostaddress].
User Agent : $postinfo[useragent].

How do I correct this?

I have no idea since that display is not part of this hack.

I find on my board it shows EVERY users IP as a proxy

The Real IP Address is: **.**.*.***
user-1765.l1.c3.dsl.pol.co.uk
The Proxy Server IP Address is: PROXYIP

Then you have done something wrong, or more likely not done something (i.e. the file edits to class_core).

I did the file edit 5 times :[

and uploaded them ?

I can;t tell if it is working. I don't have any errors, I don't get that px.gif anywhere on any style i use, and i uploaded the px.gif to all the style button folders. I click on the ip address on one of the members post but it shows the standard ip addy.

You won't see any difference unless someone posts via a detected proxy.

This is a neat hack. Installed, but in the threads only half of the posts the gif show up. The rest in the thread have a link that says IP, but everything else works excellent.

I uploaded to specified folder and everything...

If you mean the red gif, it only shows on a post that has proxy server details stored.

It shows up on the first half of the posts in the thread. Then it shows a link that says IP. What happens when you click it is you get the IP info and all that. But the icon shows for the first half of the posts only, then it's just the link.

Sorry I don't really understand, perhaps you can post a screenshot.

OK. The little IP icon shows up on the first half of the posts in a thread. After the first half of the posts it's just a text hyperlink that says IP instead of the icon. So if a thread has 20 posts, the first 10 posts show up with the icon, the next 10 posts are the hyperlink that says IP, if a thread has 4 posts the first 2 posts are the icons, and the other 2 posts are hyperlinks that say IP.

If you still need a screenshot I will get a couple up when I get home.

Thanks.

Is this the standard ip icon you mean ? are the others looking for the new icon (for proxy posts). It sounds possibly like you don't have px.gif in the right place (because you are using a custom style maybe ?)

This does not appear to work with 3.5.2

In an attempt to do the file edits, the default strings that we are to search for do not seem to exist. Is this correct?

No idea, I don't have 3.5.2 yet. When I get it I will check and update as required.

I finally installed this since 3.5.2 is out now and got the same thing on a test. Will see if it's just the proxy I used. CGIProxy on same domain. I'm pretty sure CGIProxy gets through as high anonymity so maybe that's why.

I know that you will take care of it :)

Just thought I would point it out!

Well I've looked at the 3.5.2 code and it's the same - all the edits are there as specified. :)

I experience the same thing: all new posts show up as being done through a proxy... :confused:

Really? Hmmm then I wonder if my search string was messed up. I will try again. Thanks as always Paul!

Please remember that file edits are required to class_core.php in this hack, if you don't do them (and upload them ;)) then you will get PROXYIP in every post.

I hate it when that happens, I promise to check next time... :o

Paul, upgraded the site again to 3.5.2, this works fine, it must have been the search string that I was using. Either way, works great on 3.5.2 :)

Thanks as always!

Since I upgraded to 3.5.2 class_core.php was overwritten and every post in the forum were showing the new icon and PROXYIP

I made now all the changed again but this is affecting only new posts .. How can I "reset" the status on the rest of the forum ?

You cannot change old posts, other than to edit the database itself.

You could try running something like this ;

[sql]update post set proxip = '' where proxyip = 'PROXYIP' ;[/sql]

Don't do this unless you are sure you know what you are doing, and have a backup.

Ive upgraded to 3.5.2, done the file edits, uninstalled and re installed and it doesnt seem to be working. Hmmm... Ill try again tomorrow morning but it doesnt appear to work anymore :(

*clicks install*

Installed without any problems. Thanks!

Not seeing any image yet, but you did say it will not show up unless a real proxy is detected.
