ipInfo -- Extra user IP information

# ipInfo v. 1.2 for vBulletin 3.5.x

# 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.

I am new at this, and I really don't know what this means:

## TEMPLATE MODIFICATIONS 

Template: postbit_ip:

I know I am using postbit legacy, but I have no idea what file I need to edit and where it is located. Any help would be appreciated.

[Sculli]

I actually found where I need to edit stuff. Is there a way to apply this modification to all style templates installed at once?

Edit the same postbit_ip in each skin.

Hit install to keep track of updates.

It works fine for the forum but I'm also using vbAdvanced Gallery and it doesn't work in there. So is there a way of having the url in postbit_ip point to ipinfo.php only if it's in the forums and work as before everywhere else?

I could work on a add-on to add the gallery posts to the mix. I too have vbAdvanced gallery, I forgot it also uses the same type of format. :nervous:

Or, limit the option to only the forums.

The add-on sounds like a great idea. I think that when doing an IP/username search using the vbulletin ACP it doesn't search the gallery posts so if you can somehow get add the gallery posts to IpInfo that would be great, since some users post only in the gallery and don't even visit the forums.

Hello,

I installed this hack but cannot access the additional information that should be provided when clicking on the IP button in a particular post. When I do that, it pulls up the standard vB IP information screen instead of the hacked version. I have doublechecked that I did everything correctly - the ipinfo.php is in my root forums directory, I successfully imported product-ipinfo.xml as a product and I made the template modifications to all styles in postbit_ip and I set the necessary variable in the admin CP to 60 days. However, the problem is that the link that the IP button in a postbit is not linking to the ipinfo.php file - it's merely linking to the generic IP information, despite my postbit_ip template having the proper code. Am I accessing the hack the proper way? (by clicking on the IP image directly to the right of the "Report Bad Post" image in a postbit) If I am, could the problem be related to the fact that I have Paul M's "Use real ip when proxy server is detected" hack installed, as well? Thanks!

Well every things sounds good. I have not played w/ Paul's hack yet been busy. :tired:

Please: Disable Paul's hack to see if this one works. If so give me a yell. I'll take a look @ his hack and see if I can see whats going on.

I disabled the product for Paul's hack and that allowed your hack to work properly. However, others have said in this thread that they have both hacks installed. I tried installing yours before his and his before yours and neither seems to solve the problem of yours not working without disabling his.

how about when editing postbit_ip don't replace any code but just add it underneath. What that should do is add two ip.gif buttons. Well at least that's what I did to get around ipInfo not working in gallery, One of the ip.gif leads to the regular postings.php or moderate.php page and the other leads to ipInfo.php . It's not the best solution but that's all I could come up with.

I like this hack - thank you.
