Hmm, it looks like some spiders (Google and MSN) are putting text data in one of the http headers that should contain an ip address, and the current logic doesn't handle this well. I'll release an update later.

An updated version as been uploaded this morning (v2.24).

This should fix the problem caused by Google and MSN spiders putting non ip data in the http headers. It should also stop some of the file editing mistakes people make as the edits and instructions have changed.

To upgrade you need to upload the latest product and then take a default copy of class_core.php (3.6.x) and apply the new file edits to it.

:cool:

Great thankyou, was thinking i'd done something wrong when it showed noip@google or something in the information.

Thanks for updating Paul ;)

Thanx paul

Is it still compatible with the IP info mod?
Also, it says the xml file has been updated as recently as october 2nd. Should we reupload it or something?

I'm getting this error:

Then I would guess you have made a mistake in the file edits (probably Step 1).

Check what you have done, or start with a fresh class_core and do them again.

Works great for me...thanks!!

Yeah, I accidently replaced instead of inserting underneath :o

Thanks for the update :)

It started working now :) all good .. Total

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting '&' or T_VARIABLE or T_CONST in /home/ikorucom/public_html/forum/includes/class_core.php on line 262

I keep doing it exactly to the book, I've done it 5 times now.

I have no idea what you are doing, but line 262 is at least 1000 lines away from any of the edits this mod requires.

On line 262 is function db_connect($servername, $port, $username, $password, $usepconnect).

I haven't touched that thought and this is the first time I'm editing the file.

Use a text editor with line numbers.

The edits for this hack are beyond line 1500. You may well be editing the correct place - since that error is so far away from any edits, it would suggest that the copy of class_core.php you are starting with is faulty. Get a fresh copy from the original zip file.

Yeah I used dreamweaver to edit it this time, and also used a new copy of class_core.php. There must have been something wrong with mine, thank you for your help.

if i am not wrong i can block ip address from this mod. right?

You cannot block ip addesses with this as such, ip bans are a standard part of vb.

Does this work with vb 3.6.1 ? Thank you.

Yes...

Q:
On a few of my members, I know they don't use proxy's and they say they don't, It shows that they do?

Some of mine show that way too. Particularly AOL users. I doubt the users actually know they r using a proxy. I don't think it's anything you need to worry about.

What people say, and reality, are two different things. In the UK many ntl users do not realise they are routed via proxy servers.

This was very easy to install, instructions were easy to follow.

Thanks. +install

Paul, when IP Info is detected, it links to IP Info => No real IP displayed?

Seems like the two hacks should be merged somehow? :)

Very neat hack Paul! Works like a charm.

IP info will display any real ip info collected, obviously there isn't going to be much until this has been installed for a while.

How can I see if it is working or not?

Like it, but one problem instead of red picture i get a X mark when proxy is detected. What i am doing wrong. help

I second that... Can't see anything.

Well they have to be using a PROXY

You haven't uploaded the image to the correct place for your style.

oh im glad to see this ported over its been helpful for canning problem people

your the best paul!

I'm using a proxy to try it...

www.mywebsite/forum
Log in as "myname" .


New TAB.
www.mywebsite/forum
Currently Active Users
"myname"

Change TAB.
Who's Online?

"myname" XX.111.....
guest 85.195.123.22
http://Anonymouse.org/ (Unix)

Shouldn't it be twice XX.111.... ? Puzzles me...

Nope, only one ip is displayed in WOL.

"myname" XX.111.....
"guest" should be XX.111....

The two are the same! Me.

Sorry, I don't understand you.

I normally log in once as "user1". I am the admin.

Then log in again as "user2" with the help of a proxy.

Currently active users:


As user2 I can see online: user1 and user2. No IP

As user1 I can see online:
user1 IP=XX.111...
user2 IP=YY.222... Why not XX.111... ?

user1 and user2 have the same IP because both of them are myself.

I should see twice XX.111.
I see YY.222 which is the proxy. This hack in my case does not show the real IP...

Please read the notes.

Obviously annonymouse is not going to pass on those variables (nor will any "annonymous" proxy) - they wouldn't be annonymous if they did. :)
