Moderate Registrations From Certain IP Addresses

One of my clients asked me to create this for him a little while ago. It's a pretty simple hack, but seems to be pretty useful, so I thought I'd share it here as well. :)

What does it do?
Ever had problem users that keep registering and you can't ban their IP address because it's too common and other user's may be using the same IP/host? This hack may help you then. It gives you a new setting in your Admin CP where you may specify a list of IP addresses to moderate registrations from. Any new registrations from any of the IP addresses you specify will be added to the "(COPPA) Users Awaiting Moderation" group instead of the registered group. Simple, but effective. :)

Will this work with partial IPs like the normal IP banning options?

Yes. It works exactly the same as the IP banning option. :)

Very useful, much better than moderating everybody. :)
Thanks for sharing.

It looks very good but what if a future vbulletin version installs over those phraseids? Is there any system in place that frees up particular phraseids or make sure these hacks won't clash?

Didn't realize I had the phraseid's in there. There's no way future versions of vB would use those though. The only way you would run into a problem is if you already had those phraseids in your db, in which case you'd get an error when trying to run the queries. I've removed the phraseids from the queries though.

While I really the idea behind this hack, I think you could approachthis better by focusing on implementing it in this section instead:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($_REQUEST['a'] == 'act')

The reason being, in the current way you are allowing this user tocircumvent email verification. IMO, you should allow the user to gointo Users Awaiting Email Verification usergroup first. Then when itcomes to activation, at THAT point test for IPmoderation and put theuser there. Otherwise, you won't know if it's a good email in the firstplace.

Hope this makes sense.

Here you go I have a fix for the issue of this user not having to verify their email first.

Move down your whole code and modify it a bit. The new code should look like

Code:

                $vboptions['ipusermoderation'] = trim($vboptions['ipusermoderation']);

                if ($vboptions['ipusermoderation'])

                {

                        $addresses=explode('', preg_replace("/[[:space:]]+/", "",$vboptions['ipusermoderation']) );

                        foreach ($addresses AS $val)

                        {

                        if (strpos(' ' . IPADDRESS, ' ' . trim($val))!==false)

                                {

                                //thiswill be theusergroupidAFTER the user is verified

                                        $lateractivationid=4;

                                }

                                else

                                {

                                        $lateractivationid=2;

                                 }

                        }

                }

And you want to place it right before this

Code:

                // sort out emails and usergroups

                if ($vboptions['verifyemail'])

                {

BUT you will have to ALSO change this line:

Code:

$activateid = build_user_activation_id($userid, 2, 0);

Code:

$activateid = build_user_activation_id($userid, $lateractivationid, 0);

and you should be all set. WARNING, untested!

could we possibly ellaborate on this some... so that instead of using IP addresses, we can use free-email hosts? If any user registers with a free-email host, they will be added to the "(COPPA) Users Awaiting Moderation" group instead of the registered group.

I can't seem to get this working at all, tested it many times using the above code.

thats the one after the verify their email address.

Meaning you used my code?

yes :)

dwh	06-08-2005 03:49 PM

Hmm, I do have that code working for me. What happens, iow, in what way does it fail?

it alwasy seem to go to the register group rather than moderate group.

I have put my IP in the moderate section, I email my self the activatin codes and confirm and don't get added to moderate usergroup but normal.

i have set register ip for the user name as mine...
