Mini Mods - AustraliaBound.org - Instant IP LookUP

This cracking little product, is a refinement of a previous mod of ours. Updated to work on all versions of vb4.0.0.x

If you use this MOD, please click Install

This Mod: adds an info icon below a members post.
It grabs the IP of the poster ( their post.ip )
By clicking it a new window opens up and displays the users Geo Location.

This is our MOST popular Modification for our admins, and allows them to track trace and locate users at ANY time.

To Install:

Upload the Image folder to your forum root. Allow merge.

Goto AdminCP>Plugins and Products>Add/Import Product

Navigate to: product-australiabound_iplookup.xml
Import

Done !

Nothing more to do.

ENJOY

When a moderator/admin staff clicks on the icon. A new window opens with google map, and the users ip location is displayed.

NO TEMPLATE EDITS !

"There is nothing worse is there:

1. a new member posts
2. you hover over the IP button in their post
3. you then have to go into admincp , users, enter their username, grab the ip address
4. then open a whois ip lookup
5. paste the ip in
6. check them out

This REMOVES all that crap. Just click the Ip Icon

Fixed the first problem with path to icon, but there color (style CSS?) match is odd for our background. It's white and we need to have it blend better.

Anyone know how to clear this up before I uninstall?

Thanks ..

Edit the image in a garphics editor to make it transparent, or if you can't do that match the background to the background of your style.

Thanks partner ..

I don't have a graphics editor, other than what comes with my Apple Macbook, so I'll see if I can get someone to do that ...

Try this (attached).

Appreciate the attempt, but it still seems to be a white box with the blue icon in the middle. (see pic) .....

I think you're right that I need the blue icon with a transparent background. I've just spent the last few hours searching the net for a Mac program that would let me work with icons. I found and downloaded several, but none of them permit a transparent background thing.

Perhaps it's the realm of very expensive graphics packages?

Thanks again for your help...

OK. That was a quick attempt only from my laptop. Will redo at home on my desktop later.

All right, this one works. I've tested it on a dark and a medium background.

Upload this to /images/buttons/info.png for each of your styles if you have more than one.

You may need to hard refresh your browser and/or to delete your cache and reload the page to see the difference.

Ok, see attached pic ...

I cleared caches etc....

I think the pic is fine and the background is transparent. I beginning to think that the problem is the way the mod has been implemented, as I'm pretty sure now the square area showing white behind it is actually part of a larger field.

If you look at the other items on the same postbit bottom line, there's several that have both the graphic pic and a phrase that represent in totality a piece of information with a link.

I think the author needs to look at how he uses the pic here, as it seems to be the ONLY item across that line that I can right click and save the pic, whereas the other items are integrated together and the pic is part of a larger entity. For example, the "Thank You" icon next to the INFO mod can't be clicked on in any way to save the "thumbsup" graphic.

Am I explaining that clearly?

Thanks again for your help ..

I see what you mean. I'm afraid this is beyond me... not sure what needs to be done.
