Administrative and Maintenance Tools - FractalizeR: IP Tools - get extended information about IP addresses

What does it do?
This hack allows to fetch additional information about particular IP address at standard VBulletin information dialog in posts (see attached screenshot). Information is got from public internet services. List of services can be easily extended by user.

The following default tools are included into distribution:

• WhoIs Information
• GeoIP
• SpamDB lookup
• TracePath
• TraceRoute

How to install?

1. Install *.xml file via Admin Control Panel (Product management)

Version history:

1.0 (05/09/2008)
 Initial release

If you know a link to a good IP information service, please send it to me. I will be included into next release of IPTools.

Does this work with vB 4.2.1, or is there another more recent mod that does similar?

I'm most interested in a one click geolocation look up. That helps me decide the likelihood that a poster is a spammer.

EDIT:

I found the way. You need to edit IPinfo's ipinfo.php file. And just add hook location there.

Hook location looks like:

PHP Code:

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('threadmanage_getip')) ? eval($hook) : false; 


I added it end of file, so it looks like that:

PHP Code:

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('threadmanage_getip')) ? eval($hook) : false;

$navbits = construct_ipinfo_nav($foruminfo, $threadinfo);
$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits); 


Now I have both products working fine.

:up::up: Thank you!

This works amazingly well on 4.21. THANK YOU so much for this. It will make life so much easier. Should be BUILT-IN to vB :up:

Is there a way to make this option available only to the Admin(s)?

The last three selections do not work anymore.

Correct. Not only that but I tried to remove the links and received errors from the script. Can someone explain how to properly remove these faulty links? Thanks.
