Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Proxy 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.


History:

v2.20 : Updated for vb 3.6. IP Info detection added.
v2.21 : Dependancies updated for 3.6.0 Gold.
v2.22 : Updated for Version Checking.
v2.23 : Fixed bug causing wrong ip in WOL display.
v2.24 : Rewritten slightly to fix a minor issue with spiders.
v2.25 : Updated for changes in vB 3.6.4.


Remember that this modification involves changes to the class_core.php file - if you upgrade your vbulletin, you must reapply those changes.

Please do not post asking why this does not work with some proxy servers, the answer is already in the notes above, and also in Post #160.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting '&' or T_VARIABLE or T_CONST in /home/ikorucom/public_html/forum/includes/class_core.php on line 262

I keep doing it exactly to the book, I've done it 5 times now.

I have no idea what you are doing, but line 262 is at least 1000 lines away from any of the edits this mod requires.

[Ikoru]

On line 262 is function db_connect($servername, $port, $username, $password, $usepconnect).

I haven't touched that thought and this is the first time I'm editing the file.

[Paul M]

Use a text editor with line numbers.

The edits for this hack are beyond line 1500. You may well be editing the correct place - since that error is so far away from any edits, it would suggest that the copy of class_core.php you are starting with is faulty. Get a fresh copy from the original zip file.

Yeah I used dreamweaver to edit it this time, and also used a new copy of class_core.php. There must have been something wrong with mine, thank you for your help.

[jcodemasters]

if i am not wrong i can block ip address from this mod. right?

[Paul M]

You cannot block ip addesses with this as such, ip bans are a standard part of vb.

Does this work with vb 3.6.1 ? Thank you.
