ipInfo -- Extra user IP information

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.

Instructions, screenshot & php file attached!

Note: Parts of the IPs on the screenshot are hidden, this is obviously not the case when you install it on your site. They're hidden for security

It will probably look familiar to those that had or have a phpBB board. This was one of the features I missed so much in vBulletin, not anymore

Update: I forgot to add a phrase in the instructions. Instruction text file is updated. If you already have the hack installed add this phrase to the phrase group GLOBAL:
Varname: host_name
Text: Host Name

Thanks to Boofo for letting me know!

For instance the "proxy IP hack" Users can do a workaround.

In Template postbit_ip instead of changing the line
<a href="postings.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getip&amp;p=$post[postid]">

add a separate line at the end of this Template.

find in Template postbit_ip:
[code]<img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/ip.gif" alt="$vbphrase[ip]" title="IP-Address: $post[ip] ......... etc. etc. </if>" border="0" /></a>[code]

add after:

nbsp;<a href="ipinfo.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/ip2.gif" alt="$vbphrase[ip]" title="click here to show all IP-Addresses for User $post[username]" border="0" /></a>

pay attention that the code "</if>" is still at the end of this template !

After that copy the attached image ip2.gif to your /forum/images/buttons directory.

Now you have both Hacks working on your forum.

I assume this is "the proxy hack" you are referring to?

Thanks for this hack, *clicks install*

Thanks Theater, but i have seen this already. My request would be not to have 2 icons to click, but only 1 icon where you have the information of both hacks combined. Got me ?

Cheers,

Extremely handy not going all the way to AdminCP to check all this, and you can easily see with IP address is primary (most posts). Nice work!

*install* on vB3.0.3. I used Onkel Tom's workaround in template postbit_ip because postbit_ip has Paul Marsden's Proxy IP Hack Modification v1.1 code in it. His hack is at
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=69295

I've also got Proxy Detector v3.1

Paul Marsden's modification provides a red coloured gif in place if ip.gif when the post was posted by a user with a proxy server. Has other benefits as well.

Onkel Tom's workaround provides an additional gif to call-up the template information provided in this hack. With all three hacks installed I'm much better informed about my members and which ones may be using other names. Even if they use a proxy server I can see them in Who's Online. I had no problems with the installs but there were quite a few file and template changes and some new templates were created.

thankyou this hack rocks

(installed on vb 3.0.3)
