Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Hide the IP of SuperAdmins (now it hides it at the online list as well)

This mod will hide the real Ip of the SuperAdmin in posts, in the MOD CP when searching for ip''s. After you install it, go to Settings-Options-Message Posting and Editing Options. And all the way to the bottom you will see 3 settings for the mod. You can enable and disable it, you can also enter a bogus ip for SuperAdmin which then will be displayed instead of the real ip. This is ideal for privacy. By default it affects those Super Admins whose userid is 1. If your userid is not 1 then enter at the third mod settings your own userid.

Things to consider 1: This mod it will hide the real ip of Superadmins for all the posts made before, present and all the time that the mod will be installed.

2: When you uninstall the mod, the past posts made from before, will still hide the ip of the superadmin. Whereas the posts made after the uninstall of the mod, will display the real ip of SuperAdmin normally.


After a request from a customer of mine I expanded it to hide the ip of Super Admin at the online list as well. The expanded version can be found at my forum but it is paid:

Very useful mod, with one exception:

When I had logged in on other admins accounts, using the "Log In As User" modification, I could still see my IP in the "Who's Online" piece at the footer. Therefore, this mod does not reach everywhere.
To say it works, I also went to the posts, and the IP that I set it to "Withheld" was displayed, therefore this mod just working, just not fully.

Yes, good mod but it doesn't hide the ip on the 'who is on line' page.
Be great if it did.

The thing is that it was not meant to hide it at the online list but only at the posts as stated in my first post. But I will look into expanding it to hide it at the online list as well when I will have some free time.

That'd be wonderful, actually.

Two issues...

1) Real IP is still visible in the mod log

2) No caching? This is called by Mysql every time someone views a thread. Easy way to crash your server if you have an active forum!

Seriously, not even going to acknowledge this post? Am I wrong that the query is not cached and is run every-time someone views a thread? On my board it was being called multiple times a second.
