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.

OK - so I tested this mod using http://proxy.paradox-productions.net
1st I tried browsing my own profile via the proxy site - see the pic below:




I suppose in the Who's Online page - the px.gif graphic doesn't show.
The interesting thing is that the proxy IP showed up - My IP address did not show on the Who's online page. So then - I tested by posting in the JPiC Staff Zone.... The px.gif graphic didn't show either and clicking on the regular IP graphic showed an IP address of 77.243.225.164 - circe.xynta.nl --- instead of my own IP address

So - question. What have I done wrong? I had expected that my IP address would show on both accounts. Am I misunderstanding what this modification does?

Thanx,

Jacquii.

px.gif is not meant to appear in the WOL page. It appears in the postbit.

Also, please read the notes in the main post re detection.

He's saying that regardless of whether or not you're using a proxy the px.gif icon will not show up in the Who's Online page.
