Moderators Functions - IP_NoRegister! Block problem IPs or IP Hosts from registering on your site!

Background:

This script is basically the same code used for my IP_NoView! hack but was created because a member asked me to modify the script to block specific IPs or IP Hosts from Registering.

How this works

This works through the use of three settings inside the AdminCP >> vBulletin Settings >> Ip_NoRegister! These settings include an ON/OFF switch, a list of blocked IPs, and a List of blocked IP Hosts.

If the system is on, a pluggin at the start of Register check the IP and IP Host of guests and compare them to the array of blocked IPs. If the guest that is trying to register has an IP that matches, then the system generates an error letting them know that the Administrator has blocked registrations by guests with their IP address.

This is a different product... I have three of these now... This blocks registrations, one blocks posting by guests, the third blocks viewing of posts by guests (that one does other stuff too)... On my live site, I only use the NoView version at this time.

These other scripts were prepared seperately to allow more options for webmasters.

so this won't affect current AOL users on your board...just the guests who come to your board via AOL?

cause I have several AOL users now and I don't wanna block them from the site...just a couple of trolls who keep coming back via AOL after they have been banned.

This would prevent any NEW AOL registrations if you set this up like that... It does not impact members that are already registered.

Instead of just blocking registration, it bans them all entirely
What did I do wrong?

Sorry, just getting back into the swing after the holidays...

First, Please go into your AdminCP >> Plugins

Please confirm that the pluggin for this is attached to "register_start"

Next, try logging out of your system. Can you see your site? Then click the register button. Do you get the BLOCKED message? Is your IP address or host listed in in the AdminCP to explain why you might be blocked?

If you don't get the blocked message, next go in and add your OWN IP address to the blocked list. Then try logging out and see what happens. Try clicking the register button and you SHOULD get the blocked message.

When you log in, the message should go away!

If you get locked out of your system for any reason, you will need to temporarily turn off plugins via your config file. Simply add the following on a new line DIRECTLY after the "<?php"

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Let me know what this does for you. I would also like to know what version of PHP you are running.

Did you ever get an answer to this?

I'm also curious as I understood if you put "hotmail.com" in the list, that should prevent anyone from registering using hotmail?
