Administrative and Maintenance Tools - FractalizeR: IP Tools - get extended information about IP addresses

What does it do?
This hack allows to fetch additional information about particular IP address at standard VBulletin information dialog in posts (see attached screenshot). Information is got from public internet services. List of services can be easily extended by user.

The following default tools are included into distribution:

• WhoIs Information
• GeoIP
• SpamDB lookup
• TracePath
• TraceRoute

How to install?

1. Install *.xml file via Admin Control Panel (Product management)

Version history:

1.0 (05/09/2008)
 Initial release

If you know a link to a good IP information service, please send it to me. I will be included into next release of IPTools.

It does no additional IP parsing. So, if VBulletin can determine real IP, mod will operate on it. It only provides you additional info on IP, recognized by VB.

I cannot do anything. The author of the product replaces a link to standard VBulletin IP information page by his own in every postbit template:

PHP Code:

$post['iplogged'] = "$vbphrase[ip]: <a href=\"ipinfo.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]\">$post[ip]</a>"; 


I don't see why because you can attach your own HTML to standard page via implementing threadmanage_getip hook.... So, you should contact original author. I am sorry.

I already answered somewhere that it uses IP determined by forum engine. Nothing else is done on it.

Is there a way to put hook location in his template? That way we could use your product with his by adding hook location. But, how is hook location added?

EDIT:

I found the way. You need to edit IPinfo's ipinfo.php file. And just add hook location there.

Hook location looks like:

PHP Code:

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('threadmanage_getip')) ? eval($hook) : false; 


I added it end of file, so it looks like that:

PHP Code:

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('threadmanage_getip')) ? eval($hook) : false;

$navbits = construct_ipinfo_nav($foruminfo, $threadinfo);
$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits); 


Now I have both products working fine.
