very nice, thanks for sharing. just had to change the background-color:#EBC7C7 to work with the default style.

would be nice if you could sort the list by "last active" and "name" in a future version.

Sure thing. The initial release just converts it from vB 3.0.7 to 3.5, but there are a few things planned to enhance it.

OMG That's hot! Thanks for the conversion. I can't wait for the next version. :D

Thanks a Lot for sharing this with us Jolten/tamarian !

Hi tamarian,
I use this hack with 3.0.7 and I'll be using it with 3.5 when a load of other hacks have been upgraded.
However, in the mean time, and thinking of the future, would you be willing to tweak this hack?
The problem I have is that with 250 users per page, I have 51 pages!!!
And there is no way to track the activity of a specific user.
I have put a suggestion here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=91006
and would appreciate you taking a look.
I know a particular user has several duplicate registrations, but he shares and IP address with about 50 others. Bit of a problem.

I know what you mean, and I get a lot more pages :) Will add some more twaks soon.

Has this been tested/is it compatible with 3.50RC2? I'm getting an error.

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /admincp/dupip.php on line 66

EDIT: nevermind, just figured it out. We're using the new mysqli support instead of mysql. just needed a few quick edits.

Okay I know I'm being majorly thick here, but I can't find a link in the admincp to this? Can someone tell me where it is? lol

It's in the includes directory under xml in the zip file.

The nav isn't showing up in the Admin CP anywhere. I have been messing with it for an hour and it does not show up.

Here is the fixed cpnav file. You can't use text in phrases. vB doesn't really like that for some strange reason. ;)

Also, I added it in the User cpnav right under Search IP Addresses.

It used to :)

Cool hack, thanks!

I love it!

It would also be interesting to show WHEN they had this IP address :)

Also, it doesn't display all the duplicate IPs. I had found a member that had the same IP with 4 others and it doesn't display any of them!

ill be installing this during lunchtime :D

I know you will. :P

this thing rawks!!!!!

This is great but why does it refresh the entire control panel when clicking on a users name? Shouldnt it just update that frame? This makes it so that you cant use the back button.

Is there a work around?

Wonder if it possible to (extend the hack to) check for dupips when the "base" members belong to a particular user group... eg, i have a banned group, and i want to make sure none of them is registering using pseudo ids. tough to go thru the entire list... ?

Yes, shouldn't be that hard. Feel free to bump if you don't hear from me in a week or so :)

bump! :)

I have this installed and the extra IP information hack installed. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=96834

The extra IP information hack shows other users that have used the same IP but those users don't show up in the duplicate IP information in the admincp. Does the duplicate IP hack only check the IP that shows up under the user manager in the admincp and if so could it check all the IPs a user has used to add them to the duplicate IP address list?

You will get that info when you click the IP link. Otherwise, the list would be too long, since some users have dynamic IP's, and it would take several pages just to display one user. :)

thanks tamarian..

think there is a bug in the latest version in that it only searches the chosen "primary" member group, not all groups for duplicates...

for eg, if i have a "banned" group, i would like to search for all banned members who might have created other accounts in "regular" groups...

TIA.

I know it'd be next to impossible, but it'd sure be nice to filter out AOL proxy's. They make up 80% of my duplicate posts. :(

Or better yet, just filter by date. If they haven't posted in X days, it won't show up?

tamarian;

Great hack! Works beautifully on vb 3.5.1! One small note: In the AdminCP the title is mispelled, see attached image. Other than that, it works great!

Under one of the older DupeIP mods for vB2, the script also had the ability to list duplicate passwords (albeit the encrypted output only for security). I found this more useful for spotting multiple accounts since people like that tend to use an identical password, would it be possible to add this as an option?

I remember the vB2 version. (I think) it's impossible to do with vB3.x, due to the introduction of "slat" to md5 of the password.

That's my unfortunate trademark. I made a spell checking hack, and the button for "thesaurus" was misspelled!

I can't see the link for viewing duplicate ip addresses. Where is the option in the ACP?

Nevermind, I re-loaded the ACP and see it now.

Installed on 3.52 and works, thanks

so I installed this hack, and it works great. But how on EARTH do i change that ugly pink background color?????

Cool hack,

I installed it but it can't find duplicates... querys are always --> System message : "No Matches Found"

:tired: and there are a lots of :tired:

what I did wrong?

ty 4 help

Is this script just looking at the signup information in the users table? Anyway to cross search the posts table as well?

Just the user table. It will show a link to do ip checke for the user in posts.

I missed this post. Do you still have a problem?

Yes Sir,

It always reply "No Matches Found"

... really strange as is so easy to install

board is brandnew, fresh imported from phpbb to vbulletin 3.5.2. so now I am learning tons of thing but I would also like to set this hack up.

A very Nice and Happy New Year

ciao


I apologize for my broken english
