Thank you Paul, you were correct that it was a phrase problem but the phrase that needed to be changed was thread_displayip not thread_displayproxyip.

Don't know what IP mod I had been using but looks like it was yours and at least one other.

Thanks again!

PS: Would you happen to know why my online.php returns a blank page?

I have created a new style using the default template - and confirmed that the headers are default version 3_5_2 so that should eliminate that as a possible reason and I confirmed no spaces at the very beginning and at the end...... I reuploaded the online.php and view online is turned on for admins only but I still get a blank page.

This is driving me nuts... any ideas and where to look?

For some reason it doesnt seem to be working. I had a user register & post with a proxy. I checked his i.p. & this is what came up:

The IP Address is: 205.134.241.50. The host name is: 205.134.241.50.

^^ thats a proxy

His REAL I.P. is

The IP Address is: 66.**.***.**. The host name is: cpe-66-**-***-**.hawaii.res.rr.com

Then I checked my i.p. addy & it looked like this

The IP Address is: 70.**.***.***. The host name is: ontario-ca-cuda3-70-**-***-***.ontrca.adelphia.net.

So why are proxy's showing up how they do & not telling me what his true I.P. really was? Am I looking in the wrong plcae cause all im doing is clicking the i.p. address icon in the users post.

Nice Hack, Installed but ...
got some error on apache error logs
vB 3.5.3 on Linux Fedoracore II

Sorry, I'm not really understanding you, but I assume you read this on the main post ;

Those are just PHP notices, nothing to worry about.

I spent quite a bit of time searching for the lines in class_core.php. The instructions didn't even list them in chronological order. Here is the info if you wanted to update the readme.

Modification number:

1) code found on line 2042
2) code found on line 1539
3) code found on line 1574

Putting line numbers is never a good idea, they can change in each version of vb, and also if member has edited the file for other hacks. Any decent text editor will find the code in seconds using a search.

You're the master, Paul :up:

whats the code for the post bit?? im using a element skin, and that image doesnt seem to show up for me??.. im not sure if an image ment to show up but whats

px.gif for thn?

also when trying to search for an IP... it doesnt work?? am i ment to search in the same place? i've tested with my own IP.. to make sure IP is correct when searching. thanks

We're in ..... PnP clicks install!!

Thank you!

I don't follow your first question. This has no effect as such on ip searching, only what ip is used/recorded.

fantastic, thank you!

One question, why the change to px.gif from ip.gif.

Sorry if its been mentioned 100 times before, anyways great work! :)

my edit - it only shows the px.gif, when the user has posted from a proxy.

In that case :)

Even better, thanks!

[high]* IC-Games clicks install[/high]

I love it when people answer their own questions. :)

FYI, it's name is a clue -> proxy(.gif)

So I tested this using a public proxy and it does not resolve my actual IP... any ideas?

Did you read the notes ?

I would be very surprised if a public proxy passed on the details, as they are usually designed to be annonymous.

AHHH OK cool - thank you for your quick response!

So which proxies regularly pass the true IPs?

-vissa

Is there any way i can club this hack with IpInfo hack??: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=96834

I had IpInfo installed first.. and then i installed proxy to real ip.. now, my ipinfo one doesnt work :(

Help!

You are not showing as having this installed. :)

^^ Oops.. sorry, forgot to click that!
Now i have...

You need to read Post 111 in the ipinfo thread.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=111

Question: How can I use this in tandem with the IP Info hack? When I have both running at once, the IP Info hack is ignored, it seems.

Try reading the post above yours.

installed and waiting to see it work thanks

Ok so let me get this right, it does not work on public proxys only ISP proxys? Well that defeats alot of the reason I was interested in using this.

Like it says ;

Miracles cannot be performed I'm afraid. :)

Nice...

Clicks Install

Paul - can this work with the ip-extra info hack? ;)
j/k :D

no to be ned-nitpicky, but the version I D/L'd today had 2.11 in the instructions :)

I think I can live with that, I'm not updating it (which alters the dates) just for that. :D

ok - cool - i wasn't sure :)

No they dont work with each other, I installed ip extra info then this proxy tool and the proxy tool was over taking the ip extra info page (the ip extra info page was gone and the proxy tool page was showing up)

*sigh* Yes they do - hence why he was joking. Try reading the topic instead of making wild statements, I suggest you start at the top of this page, post 181.

hi Paul..i just installed your hack, i don't know if i installed it right though,

but when i look at my "Who's Online" page, it turns out only white page..why?

by the way i just upgraded my vBulletin into 3.5.4..

please help me..i really wanted to use your hack badly..regards

I have no idea, but this does not make any changes to the WOL page.

thanx for the reply Paul..

I'll try to check it out later, maybe i missed something when i edited the "class_core.php"..

again thanx...you are very supportive.. :up:

installed.

hope it workes ;)

Installed :up:

Quick question, will the px.gif turn red on proxies that were posted before this was installed, or will it begin working on new proxies when they are posted?

Never mind, post#9 answered that question.

I just had a new member post and it says, "Could Not Resolve Hostname" when I checked his IP.
Doesn't that mean the person is using a proxy?
The IP icon didn't turn red.
I up loaded the gif to my images/buttons folder and made all the changes in the class core.php file at my host and uploaded the xml file to my forum just as the directions said.

This is how the code appears in my product editor.

$db->hide_errors();
$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post ADD proxyip

VARCHAR(20) not null AFTER ipaddress");
$db->show_errors();

No, it means what it says - there is no hostname associated with the ip address.

If someone posts with a proxy, will the IP icon remain red even after they have logged out?
And if a regular registered member posts with a proxy IP, will it show his real IP and not change the IP icon?
