Better IP Trace Hack... Easy install

This hack is a better version of a hack created by drkFusion. This one does not add any queries and uses a third party site to do the tracing for you. Everything is done through the whosonline. Im not a huge php coder so if anyone would like to add onto this my feelings will not be hurt.

As per request... it has been added to a txt file to be dled. Enjoy :nervous: I have also added the hack that was later added in this thread adding this hack to posts. :banana:

SCREEN SHOTS:
Picture of Map and Details (IP Blurred)
Picture of Whos Online Area
Picture of Whos Online Area 1

Edit: For some god awful reason you cannot download the txt file by clicking it, but you can right click and click save target as... not sure why. Maybe just me.

Modify your usergroup settings and turn it off for everyone except usergroup 6.

I eidted this a bit to make it also work within threads when you click the "IP: Logged" link.

Open the template threads_displayip

Replace the entire contents of that template with:

The IP Address is: $postinfo[ipaddress]. The host name is: $postinfo[hostaddress]. If you would like more information on this IP Address click <a href="http://www.networldmap.com/TryIt.htm?GetLocation&Template=demo.htm&ipaddress=$postinfo[ipaddress]" target="_blank">here</a>. Or, click <a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid">here</a> to return to the thread.

Awesome hack, defiantly will help with analyzing re-registered banned members, etc.

I recommend adding this [locate] option in the AdminCp -> member listing page, as it would be quite useful.

Looks nice buddy but please put this hack in a textfile

At the moment unregistered users can see how to install this hack

Is there a way to have it return to the post you clicked on it from?

Just add the IP-address after http://www.networldmap.com/TryIt.htm...htm&ipaddress= , then it would be a plain template hack. I don't understand why you want to make changes to online.php .

Seems not to be able to find addresses around in Ontario, Canada
The new/custom version I made of my hack had listingss, so it was easier.

Suggestion:
If you get a "not able to find at this moment" message (not exactly like that) submit the ip to there site, it will then add the city to there database so then after maybe 24-48 hours you can locate it.

*i think*
Looks , nive job, very simple to install.

True, but his method will show the host derived from the IP.

For this IP tracer service, it appears everywhere out of the U.S. gives an unspecific map location of where the user might be. The only occurences when I recieved a "not able to find at this moment" message was when tracing a Google-bot. Also, sometimes when the user is on a Proxy, usually if they have AOl, it will block out some of the fields.

Overall good hack, the zoomed in map is great.

"not able to find at this moment" was the message I made up to substitute for the actual message as I was lazy to go check again

But exactly what I was sayng it seems all ips that you try to locate that are out of the U.S do not work.

Ahwell good for me 80% of the boards I go to USians run it, I am canadian irate:
