Track all Duplicate IP Addresses via Admin CP (by Jolten)

This is a port from the 3.0.7 version by Jolten. He doesn't plan to upgrade to 3.5, and I do, so I'm releasing it for 3.5 with his permission:

Be aware that many internet service providers (AOL, JUNO, NetZero) may assign the same IP to many different users. A duplicate listing is not an immediate indication of a duplicate account by the same user.

Files to edit -- 0
Phases to add -- 2
Files to upload -- 2
Database alterations -- None

Time to install -- Less than 5 minutes

Installation
Step 1: Upload the file dupip.php to your admin control panel directory (adminCP)

Step 2:Upload cpnav_dupip.xml to includes/xml

Step 3: Add 2 new phrases

Phrase type: Control Panel Global
Varname: dup_ip
Text: Duplicate IPs

Phrase type: Control Panel Global
Varname: dup_ip_max
Text: Maximum username per page

Screen shot from the 3.0.7 version

It is not directly configurable, but you can simply skip the code change in modcp/index.php, that way the option won't be shown in modcp.

it doesnt seem to work. I log in as an admin and post then as a test user with normal permissions and post and it doesnt see me as duplicate

OK stupid me fixed that

i do have a question. Can we exclude IPs from being listed? like the aol ones that pop up?

Hmmm, last post here was June of '06, but does anyone have this working in 3.6.4 or know of a new one for the latest version of vB?

[lazytown]

This is working in 3.6.4 for me, but I installed in under 3.5. The only problem is there is no way to prune it and it is not sorted by date order.

Too bad there's no one willing to adapt it to vB 3.6 completely.

Just a hint for the people that still want to install this on a vB 3.5: database type must not be set to mysqli in config.php, otherwise it wil not work.

I'm also looking for one for 3.6 (even 3.7 when the stable release comes out)

[SimvD]

I'm confused if this works with 3.6.8. Another admin I know uses a duplicate IP address detection mod, and they have 3.6.8...I can't seem to find the right one anywhere.

[globofan]

Can someone redo this for 3.7?

Overview of the alterations:

• Now also available within the modcp for anyone that can view IP adresses

• Fully phrased

• Table display should now fit into the design of control panel without changes in dupeip.php

• Some minor design alterations and spelling corrected

This version works in vb 3.7.1 PL1, except for 2 small things:

1. the phrase types. Here is a simple fix:
There is no 'Control Panel Global' phrase type. This should be 'GLOBAL' phrase type. So step 3 should be:

---------------

Add 2 new phrases

Phrase type: Global
Varname: dup_ip
Text: Duplicate IPs

Phrase type: Global
Varname: dup_ip_max
Text: Maximum username per page

---------------

2. The listing shows IP addresses, which link to a search for all users with that IP address: modcp/usertools.php?do=doips&ipaddress=xx.xxx.xx.xxx
xx.xxx.xx.xxx is the IP address. I suspect the hash is missing. That function is available from the user profile in modCP & adminCP anyway, so its not vital.

I was able to find a lot of members that had the same IP addresses as banned members.

I think this hack would be beneficial for many and it would be good if someone would release this in the vb 3.7 section. (with permission from tamarian or Djamil off course)

Since I migrated to 3.7.2 a few weeks before I will surely have a look at it myself, just wait a little bit. ;-)
