Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Proxy IP to real IP conversion

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 ......

Note: Obviously this hack relies on the proxy server passing the correct http variables to allow detection.

If a proxy is detected, then a red ip icon is displayed instead of the standard one. This mod will also detect if the ipinfo hack is installed and adjust itself to call the ipinfo code.

You would not be able to measure any difference.

Paul,

I installed PL2 this morning, and then this mod. I followed your instructions exactly how you have them. When I went to install / import the product, the system was hanging... I've had this happen once before with a theme, and I found that if you hit back and then try to reinstall it again very quickly that it will go through.

The problem I ran into, is I got a DB Error. If I go to the products pay it says it's installed... So I'm curious what i can do to test to see if it's working. Or if I should uninstall / reinstall.

Thanks for the help,

[Paul M]

If you have a very large Post table then it may seem to hang for quite a while as this adds a field to that table. If its installed, and seems to be working then probably best to leave it as is. You could check the Post table to see if the proxy_ip field has been added ok.

Paul,

It's there. Thanks for the mod & thanks for the support.

Works great. I can see my real IP in 'Who's Online'. The px.gif doesn't show in posts for the reason Paul explained. My main concern is keeping real IP's banned, and this will do the trick just fine.
Thanks Paul.

Thanx PAUL! Question though - Do you know of a proxy site where I can test?
Thanx,

JAcquii.
