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

To align the images in the centre, replace the css with:

.postbitlegacy .postfoot .textcontrols a.abipinfo, .postbit .postfoot .textcontrols a.abipinfo  {
	background: url({vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/info.png) no-repeat transparent center;
}
.postbitlegacy .postfoot .textcontrols a.abipinfo:hover, .postbit .postfoot .textcontrols a.abipinfo:hover  {
	background: url({vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/info.png) no-repeat transparent center;
}

Change the second image path to be the image you want displayed when you hover over it.

If the image disappears make sure you've put the .hover set of css entries. basically it states not to change when you hover over it. If it's missed out, the image disappears.

That worked perfectly jonty .... :up:

Centered in field and now it doesn't disappear when mouse is placed (hovered) over the field. I think you were right and I missed the second set of entries when I cut-n-pasted the first time.

I'll see if I can get some one to create a second image to show the hovering effect as a test, then I'll post the pics here.

Again, appreciate your help .... very gracious of you. :up:

By the way, how difficult would it be to move the function over next to the IP con, as shown in the attached pic?

Thanks ...

Feature request: I'd like it so that all members could see the users location without seeing the IP address.

Feature request:
Have this available next to the IP Address on the User Profile page, of the AdminCP.

installed!!!! fantastic little mod ..rates 5 stars

[BadgerDog]

If I wanted to be able to make this mod option available to a specific (or more than just admin) set of usergroups. where do I modify or add the code to do that?

Thanks for any help ....

Badger

Edit: ok, I figured it out ... I'm using this around the template ..

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,5,6,7,9,10)">

</vb:if>

So, another question...

If I don't want anyone to see the locating ICON at the bottom of a post by Admin usergroup 6, how do I get that excluded from the above condition. Is it another condition after that one that somehow excludes executing if the post is by an Admin? You can tell, I'm not a coder ..

[BadgerDog]

I'm not a coder, so if anyone could help me with this addition to the mod, I'd appreciate it ...

I have the following code ..

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,5,6,7,9,10)">

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

</vb:if>

So, the small i icon for IP lookup only appears at the bottom of posts for the user groups indicated and it works great.

Now, what can I add that causes the small i icon for IP lookup NOT to appear at the bottom of a post for specific userID's that I list in an array. In other words, I don't want the icon to appear in the postbit for certain useID's, regardless of whether the user group can see them or not.

I hope I explained that ok ..

I would think that it's a simple piece of HTML code to add to this template?

Actually, maybe this is the wrong place to try and put this condition, as perhaps the post is already displayed at this point, so if there's another place in the plugins etc where I can do this, that would be helpful too ...

Thanks for any feedback ..

Doug
