Our home network will only issue an Internet connection if you have the Proxy settings setup...

You should consider all sides before totally banning

im aware of that, thats why i requested that someone make it an option in the admin cp to allow a certain user group. i would like to create a usergroup of people w/ proxys that i want to allow in and i can edit the banip template to say that if they are using a proxy to contact me so they can get access. if i can make it an opiton in the cp, that would make it easier for my mods to manage. as it is now, i have to allow it in the code. thanks.

If you replace line:

PHP Code:

if ($proxyip AND $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]!=6) { eval("standarderror("".gettemplate("error_banip")."");");exit;} 


As:

PHP Code:

if ($proxyip AND $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==2) { eval("standarderror("".gettemplate("error_banip")."");");exit;} 


The hack will apply only to registered members and all other usergroups will be exempt..

should this,

PHP Code:

if ($proxyip AND $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==2) { eval("standarderror("".gettemplate("error_banip")."");");exit;} 


be actually this:

PHP Code:

if ($proxyip AND $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]!=2) { eval("standarderror("".gettemplate("error_banip")."");");exit;} 


u have two "=" signs in there instead of "!="?? i dont' know much about vbb code but im good at seeing patterns. :banana:

[Logician]

good point but my code is correct..

In the first code while it was != it meant, if user uses proxy and IS NOT an admin. Now when it is == it means, if user uses proxy and he IS a registered member.

cool thanks. yeah i figured it out on my own cause it didn't work the way i thought it should be. thanks.

can u tell me what that code would look like if i had it affect more than 1 user group?

PHP Code:

if ($proxyip AND ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==2 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==X)) { eval("standarderror("".gettemplate("error_banip")."");");exit;}

Has anyone got this working for 2.3.0?
I tried this last night. Just the very first part of the hack code and immeadiately got an error from it.
