ipInfo -- Extra user IP information

# Ported to VB 3.5 by: Zachariah - http://www.gzhq.net

Old VB 3.x can be found here

ipInfo is a replacement for the standard 'view users ip' option in
vBulletin. Normally when you click on the view ip button in a user's post
you'll only see his or hers ip address and host name.

With ipInfo you'll get more information. Besides the ip address and host
name you will also see what other users have posted with the same ip
address. That feature can be really good for spotting clones.

Another thing ipInfo will show you is what other ips this user has posted
with and how many times. Could be useful when you want to ban all of the
ips of a user and not just the one of that post.

When showing what other IP addresses this user has used, it sure would be great if the Reverse DNS lookup (showing the host name) were shown for these IP addresses also.

Thanks!

The plug-in itself is working fine, but I have a customization question.

On a few of my styles, I have all instances of cellspacing="$stylevar[spacing]" replaced with cellspacing="0".

This is to remove all of the inner borders. It was fine with the default postbit_ip template, but now after adding this, there's cellspacing on this page. It's not a huge deal, but I'd prefer to remove it if I easily can. I looked through the postbit_ip template and found none of the instances above, so I wouldn't know how to remove it. If you need a pictoral example of what I mean, just ask.

Otherwise, a very nice plug-in. I was with a phpBB board before and liked the way it handed tracing users through IP addresses better than vBulletin did, and this just about does the same. Nice work.

Edit: Nevermind my question. I see it's done through it's own template. I got it all worked out. Nice job again.

Oh this is such a great script. I been looking for this for a very long time, it's clean and user friendly I love it! Thank you! :up:

I just have 3 requests, please reply to let me know if you can add them or not:

1) Can you please have it store a record of their host names as well?
2) If a user registers under an IP close to the one he uses in case this person has a dynamic IP then can you make it so that the script knows it?s the same person?
3) Could you add a place that tells you the country for that IP?

Again great job man, I love this script! Thanks a lot!

Best Regards,
John.

*Install* A favourite hack of mine. I used the 3.0.x version and would like to thankyou for porting to 3.6.X. It works on my 3.6.7 forum. The readme text file says:
Added: Admin setting

The setting can be found in vBulletin Options > Message Posting and Editing Options > IP Info.

The two image files in the download are not part of the installation - just screenshots.

Update: *Uninstalled* so I can install v1.3 for vB Version: 3.6.x.
