ipInfo is a replacement for the standard 'view users ip' option in
vBulletin. Normally when you click on the view ip button in a user's post
you'll only see his or hers ip address and host name.

With ipInfo you'll get more information. Besides the ip address and host
name you will also see what other users have posted with the same ip
address. That feature can be really good for spotting clones.

Another thing ipInfo will show you is what other ips this user has posted
with and how many times. Could be useful when you want to ban all of the
ips of a user and not just the one of that post.

Great! I'll test it out now.

EDIT: works great!

best of all, and quite easy to install for a complete IP report...!!!

Yes Sir, the extra info does help root out trouble makers.

:cool:

Nice one. Would it be possible to show users that share any of the additional IP addresses?

Great hack!

Works great, very helpful for rooting out trolls with multiple accounts.

Ill take a look.

Thanks for the great hack, one question though, would it be very difficult to use geotargeting, or tracking, to automatically determine the physical location of the IP address, sort of like a IP or DNS reversal? I had a situation on my boards where we were banning allot of people, it took a while before we realized they were all from India and this would have made the process much much quicker.

It's great to see the return of this! Thanks so much!

This will tell the Host name - look @ image.

cpe-xx.xxx.xx.xx.socal.res.rr.com

S. California - socal
Roadrunner - rr

You can always do "tracert" on the IP to find where it is.

Thanks, you know, I never really realized that socal was south california, and I assume res is residential, and rr is roadrunner.... well with that said this is perfect, thanks!

Good one buddy! Now I can trash the one I was working on. Good job! ;)

very useful. nice work.

*installed

When I try to import product I get this,

Warning: xml_get_error_code(): 18 is not a valid XML Parser resource in \includes\class_xml.php on line 276

Warning: xml_get_current_line_number(): 18 is not a valid XML Parser resource in \includes\class_xml.php on line 266

it might be a plugin :-/

ah I figured it out. Im such an idoit, lol I was trying to import the php file whoppsy

that might help XD

:laugh: I did that last week. Moven real fast trying to get something done and select the wrong file ......

Any luck on getting the additional IP address usernames, Zach?

Installed here: www.MakeupTalk.com/forums

thanks!

Nice one thank you :)

Nope, I have some crazy days :tired: , I'll try and make some time to work on it.

I would like to see whether the IP is a proxy or not. Could this be added easily?

I'll read up on it and see what we can do.

I don;t believe this can be ported into this hack directly, but there is a proxy hack that can be combined with this.

It would have been nice to know this was in the works seeing as I just paid for it to be ported.

Combine it with this. A number of people have, both in 3.5, and the 3.0.x versions. :)

Does this work with Gold (about to test out on my dev server)?

I do not see a problem :D (I have not tested yet, but It works since RC1-RC3)

Thanks a lot, very usefull to have some more info than the basic things vB gives. (Confirmed to work 100% with vB3.5 Gold - hardly different from vB 3.5 RC3 anyway ;))

Thanks for the test I was installing Gold as I type :D

I found a major problem on this mod. When you click the IP on an unregistered user who posted in a forum it takes minutes to load and the reason is, after its done loading it generates what seems to be hundreds of IP's under the All IP's for this user. Im assuming it pulls all ips for the name unregistered user.

Can you modify this so it wont pull any additional IP's for unregistered posts?

nice job. works fine under gold :) THX!

OK ill add an <if> statment - if guest no link just show IP that should work.

Thanks, just let me know when you have it updated. I think it pulled over 1000-2000 IP's on it. I have a big board, so it probably went back like 2 years worth of IP lol

great hack!!!

i had to change _SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] to $_SERVER['HTTP_X_REMOTECLIENT_IP']. because my host uses a loadbalancer.

before i changed that all users had the same ip (from the host). now all users appear in the Users sharing the same IP Address. because the old wrong ip is still in the database.

is it possible to clear all stored ip adresses?

Yes I would need this also

Template: postbit_ip:

== REPLACE WITH: ================================================== =======
I updated the 1st post

Avalon111, TonysDesigns - I'll look @ it.

Thanks

So basicly every user's post ip must be reset. This hack looks @ the IP recorded on each post. If all your posts have the same IP then we could Null the posts that are currently on you forum to "enpty or blank" value and all the new posts will be ok.

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx fill in the IP you want to remove.
