IP Address
 

is there a way to block mod from seeing the ip address of the admin?
any help on how to achieve this will be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance

Yeah, make your mod a non-mod. If you don't trust him to see your IP, why is he a moderator? :ermm:

i have reason that are far too complex to explain at this time.
just looking for a way to prevent mods and supermods from seeing the admin ip.
thanks

While adding you moderator dont give them permissions to view IPs that all you do..
Although you cannot hide super-moderators from viewing users/admins ip addresses.

VB lacks this feature.

i can set it so that mods and super mods cannot see an ip of anyone if the option is enabled.
unless you know a certain part of vb where they can.
i'm just specifically looking for mods and admins are unable to see the admins ip.

thanks

bump...please anybody?

I've not tested it but try making this edit in your postbit or postbit legacy template.

FIND

$post[iplogged]

REPLACE WITH

<if condition="userinfo[usergroupid=6]">&nbsp;<else />$post[iplogged]</if>

It should work

wow thank you!!
but i'm getting this error:

vBulletin Message The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '[' in /forums/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3055) : eval()'d code on line 17

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

please help

oops it should be ==6 not =6

Darn typos ;)

still getting that error

try

Surely it should be $bbuserinfo[usergroup] at the start of that code ?

still getting that error
what should the code be?
the first one i had or the second

Neither, try;

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6">&nbsp;<else />$post[iplogged]</if>

i get no errors but i'm unable to see my members ip address

LOL- it should be the other way round ;)

Ah sorry, I should have read the whole thread, I was just correcting the code as posted. The logic in the code is backwards for what you want to do - use ;

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6">$post[iplogged]<else />&nbsp;</if>

Edit: Beaten to it as well - either correction will work :)

sorry to bother you guys and i do appreciate your help a lot....i really do but um...as the admin i can view ip, that's not a problem.
it's just that my super mods aren't able to see the ip of any member at all in the threads.
another thing that my super mods still able to see the admin ip in the who's online area.
i just need it so that super mods and mods are full unable to the admins ip.
again i do appreciate all of your help.
thank you so much

oh please oh please help.
if it's not too much to ask for.

What you want is not a quick and simple job. I really have to wonder why you want to do this, you should be able to trust your mods with your ip address !!

my reasons are far too complex to explain.
but for one...on my previous board which was a phpbb board i've had a couple mods turn against me for what ever reason i don't know why.
they have tried logging into my admincp through my local machine which was a test board.

I can sympathize as the hobby I am in there have been times people pull a coup on you as a board owner or admin. I would like this same feature as well.
It is hard to explain, but there are certain segments of the population that feel they have a right to bring you down or belittle you. One owner of a baord I knew ws stalked and pics of his house were taken by someone who was not mot an 10 feet from his house.

What worries me is a mod will let someone else use their account or get hacked. Then the perp would be able to grab staff IP's.
