Mini Mods - AustraliaBound.org - Instant IP LookUP

This cracking little product, is a refinement of a previous mod of ours. Updated to work on all versions of vb4.0.0.x

If you use this MOD, please click Install

This Mod: adds an info icon below a members post.
It grabs the IP of the poster ( their post.ip )
By clicking it a new window opens up and displays the users Geo Location.

This is our MOST popular Modification for our admins, and allows them to track trace and locate users at ANY time.

To Install:

Upload the Image folder to your forum root. Allow merge.

Goto AdminCP>Plugins and Products>Add/Import Product

Navigate to: product-australiabound_iplookup.xml
Import

Done !

Nothing more to do.

ENJOY

When a moderator/admin staff clicks on the icon. A new window opens with google map, and the users ip location is displayed.

NO TEMPLATE EDITS !

"There is nothing worse is there:

1. a new member posts
2. you hover over the IP button in their post
3. you then have to go into admincp , users, enter their username, grab the ip address
4. then open a whois ip lookup
5. paste the ip in
6. check them out

This REMOVES all that crap. Just click the Ip Icon

Just a quick change .......... in the code line for opening new window the line

PHP Code:

<a href="http://www.infosniper.net/index.php?ip_address={vb:raw post.ip}&map_source=1&two_maps=1&overview_map=1&lang=1&map_type=1&zoom_level=7" "target="_blank" /> 


Should be

PHP Code:

<a href="http://www.infosniper.net/index.php?ip_address={vb:raw post.ip}&map_source=1&two_maps=1&overview_map=1&lang=1&map_type=1&zoom_level=7" target="_blank" /> 


Pedantic i know lol but just a new window is important

thanks for spotting

[jkcerda]

does it identify proxy IP's?

Hello,

For some reason the links to mark as installed aren't showing up.

Also, do you have a mod for when you click on a user account? Our problem is we see a new registration, we want to click on the user name and then be able to see their IP address and not wait for a post to decide whether we ban them or not.

Thanks

From my limited knowledge there are several IP's saved for user.

Registration IP
Post IP.

It wouldnt be hard to add this to memberinfo page and add conditionals so that only viewable to admins etc.
But its the registration IP hook, I dont know the variable used.

I was going to make this VERY suggestion.

I too, would like this functionality extended to the WOL page.

AWESOME MOD by the way!!

Installed and nominated MOTM. :up:

Bug:

In file product-australiabound_iplookup.xml around line 16:

PHP Code:

      <a href="http://www.infosniper.net/index.php?ip_address={vb:raw post.ip}&map_source=1&two_maps=1&overview_map=1&lang=1&map_type=1&zoom_level=7" "target="_blank" /> 


You have an extra " character before target so it doesn't actually open in a new page.

Change to:

PHP Code:

      <a href="http://www.infosniper.net/index.php?ip_address={vb:raw post.ip}&map_source=1&two_maps=1&overview_map=1&lang=1&map_type=1&zoom_level=7" target="_blank" />

Missed gthat post.

Also an uncached template australiabound_post_control_bit.

I'm not sure where this needs to be added to cache it.

Added...

Solution:

Create another plugin for this mod:

Product: AustraliaBound.org IP Lookup

Hook Location: cache_templates

Title: Cache template australiabound_post_control_bit

Plugin PHP Code:

PHP Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread')
$cache[] = 'australiabound_post_control_bit'; 


Plugin is Active: Yes

Nice mod, thanks .... but have some kind of a cosmetic problem with the display of the icon ..

Fixed the first problem with path to icon, but there color (style CSS?) match is odd for our background. It's white and we need to have it blend better.

Anyone know how to clear this up before I uninstall?

Thanks ..

Badger
