Logging IP Addresses - is there a mod for this?

I have a member who thinks his account has been accessed by someone else. He's been a member for several years and has never posted so only one IP address shows in his account profile. I'm assuming that vB only logs IPs when a user posts (please correct me if I'm wrong).

Is there a mod, or any way to view IPs that have accessed an account over a certain period of time? Any assistance would be truly appreciated. Thanks!

Using 3.8.6 btw :)

I was going to use this for something I was working on: create a plugin with hook location global_complete and this code:

Code:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] AND $vbulletin->session->created)

{

    $fp = @fopen('memberips.log', 'a');    // <--- add path to writable directory

    if (!empty($fp))

    {

        fwrite($fp, IPADDRESS . ',' . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . ',' . $vbulletin->db->escape_string($vbulletin->userinfo['username']) . "\n");

        fclose($fp);

    }

}

Note that you probably have to add a path to the front of the file name in fopen() to put the log file in a writable directory.

In any case, this logs the user name, id, and ip whenever a session is created. You would probably want to add the data/time to this.

Note: I think this will be OK but I didn't try it on a busy site. I also don't know if the info might somehow already be available from the web server logs.

ETA: of course you could also add a check for the userid if you only want to log that one user.

Same thing with timestamps added,

Code:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] AND $vbulletin->session->created)

{

    $fp = @fopen('memberips.log', 'a');    // <--- add path to writable directory

    if (!empty($fp))

    {

        fwrite($fp, vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'] . ',' . $vbulletin->options['timeformat']) . ',' . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . ',' . $vbulletin->db->escape_string($vbulletin->userinfo['username']) . ',' . IPADDRESS . "\n");

    }

}

Very useful, thanks guys! Any obvious changes needed for it to work on vB4?

One thing I noticed with this, is that it only adds it to one line, there is no carriage return after each entry.

Got it, needed to add \r
