Use real ip when proxy server is detected.

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This hack makes the forum always use the members real ip when a proxy is detected, meaning that all existing ip functions should continue to work, basically ignoring the proxy server (other than recording it's presence).

i.e.

* The real ip (or host) is displayed in the who's online page.
* The real and proxy server ip's are accesible for each post, the button is red for members using a proxy server.
* The real ip is searchable in the admin/mod cp (but not the proxy ip).
* The real ip can be banned by admins.

etc etc ......

Obviously this hack relies on the proxy server passing the correct http variables to allow detection. This hack is packaged as a vBulletin product.



History:

hmm.. i installed it and im getting the following error on my forums

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CLASS, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/XXXX/public_html/forums/includes/class_core.php on line 2017

i cant even browse the board without getting this error...?

Then you have made an error editing class_core.php, check your work.

Version 2.11 uploaded.

This includes changes in the way it works internally, there is no need to upgrade if your current version is happily working.

Paul quick question...I was not paying attention and installed this without having 'Allow Overwrite' clicked...will this cause problems?

Thanks!

[Paul M]

If you havn't installed it before then it won't make any difference.

Paul;

Thanks for the great hack! Very nice, simple to install and works great on vb 3.5.1.

A few notes:

I noticed, after checking through my steps over and over again, that everything worked great, except for the red icon...which was not appearing. Also yes, I did make sure it was loaded into the correct style/images/button folder and so on.

I noticed that I got a different image/icon, one that was more like a square 'check box'. When choosing 'view image' it was looking for a file called 'ipp.gif'.

Now my custom style, uses an 'ip.gif' and all works well, but the hack some how, was making a call for 'ipp.gif'...which is WEIRD since this is not used anywhere in my custom style.

So, I just simply renamed 'px.gif' to 'ipp.gif' and all works great! The icon is red, I can hover the mouse arrow over the icon and it gives me the 'real ip address'.

Also, I can click on the red icon and I get the correct message:

vBulletin Message

The Real IP Address is: 68.64.155.66
lamrda-cuda2-68-64-155-66.lmdaca.adelphia.net
The Proxy Server IP Address is: 200.219.184.81
200.219.184.81

Btw, here are the details on the proxy that I used to test this function:

Proxy IP Address: 200.219.184.81

Port #: 8080

User/Pass: N/A

I have another mod also installed called 'Log Logins Hack' and it was able to work with your hack and show me the real ip address. FYI, I did test with both anon and non-anon proxies just to make sure.

Thanks again for the sweek hack!

Hope my info is of some assitance.

One final question: Are there any tools at all that show up in AdminCP, when using this hack?



Peace!

Hmm, px.gif used to be called ipp.gif in the old 3.0.x version. Somehow the old name sneaked into the template in the 2.11 update last week. I have fixed that now and uploaded the mended version (2.12). Thanks for reporting it :up:

No, this does not make any alterations to the ACP.
