ipInfo is a replacement for the standard 'view users ip' option in
vBulletin. Normally when you click on the view ip button in a user's post
you'll only see his or hers ip address and host name.
With ipInfo you'll get more information. Besides the ip address and host
name you will also see what other users have posted with the same ip
address. That feature can be really good for spotting clones.
Another thing ipInfo will show you is what other ips this user has posted
with and how many times. Could be useful when you want to ban all of the
ips of a user and not just the one of that post.
Instructions, screenshot & php file attached!
Note: Parts of the IPs on the screenshot are hidden, this is obviously not the case when you install it on your site. They're hidden for security
It will probably look familiar to those that had or have a phpBB board. This was one of the features I missed so much in vBulletin, not anymore
Update: I forgot to add a phrase in the instructions. Instruction text file is updated. If you already have the hack installed add this phrase to the phrase group GLOBAL:
Varname: host_name
Text: Host Name
Thanks to Boofo for letting me know!

When perusing, "Who's online" users that are using ipinfo.php are flagged as being in an unknown location, and the syntax passed to ipinfo.php is shown.
I tested this on my vB 3.0.7 and it shows "Viewing index" instead. Can anyone please confirm this?
Also, would it be possible to make each of the IP addresses in the "All IPs for this user" clickable, and have another page with information on other users using those as well?
I figured it would be a nice way to cross-check data, specially if a user has a couple of hundreds of IP addresses.
Yeah, doh! I am running into some minor problems with this hack. Maybe someone else can give me some ideas. I installed the mod added the conditional statement, as per techguy, and ran into a little problem.
When I click on the ipinfo icon to see all of the ips rather than just the standard, i get a blank screen. Any ideas?

I just upgraded a site of mine and need this IP feature for v3.5. Anyone seen a good IP solution for 3.5. I twould be nice to have the proxy IP hack, member's sharing IPs and a link to geobytes all in one.
FWIW - I tried to search the v3.5 forum for IP but the term is too short. I viewed the threads but did not find any good IP tools for v3.5 yet.
Any chance you will get this ported to 3.5 soon?? This was one of my favorite security feature hack there was for 3.0X.
I tried to install it and here is what I get: Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /forums/ipinfo.php on line 81
Here is line 81 for reference.
PHP Code:
$users = $DB_site->query("
I get the same error. Can anyone help us debug this .php file so it will be 3.5 compatible. This tools is very important for sniffing out trolls and their alter egos...
Here is the rest of the code where the error is happening (of course you can download it all at the top of this thread, haha).
PHP Code:
// Search posts first $users = $DB_site->query(" SELECT post.username, post.userid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post WHERE post.ipaddress = '" . $postinfo['ipaddress'] . "' AND post.userid != '" . $postinfo['userid'] . "' GROUP BY post.username ORDER BY post.username ASC ");

Definitely would be useful for "smurf" detection.
