Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Who is online - Ripesearchbutton

Hello,

this is a really simple but very powerful mod for administrators, that often need to lookup unresolvable IPs on http://www.ripe.net
It will add a small button next to the IPs on "who is online" to all that can see the IP. If you click this new button, you will get a new window with the ripesearch.

Search for:

<a href="online.php?$session[sessionurl]do=resolveip&amp;ipaddress=$userinfo[host_encoded]" id="resolveip_$count" title="$vbphrase[resolve_ip_address]">$userinfo[host]</a>

Add directly after the </a>:

&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://www.db.ripe.net/whois?form_type=simple&full_query_string=&searchtext=$userinfo[host_encoded]&submit.x=0&submit.y=0&submit=Search" target="_blank"><img src="[B][COLOR="Red"]/PATH/TO/ICON/FOOBAR.ICO[/COLOR][/B]" heiht="16" width="16" /></a>

(Please exchange /PATH/TO/ICON/FOOBAR.ICO with the path to any icon. For example the RIPE-Icon I attached to this thread. As only you and maybe your mods will see it, it doesn't have to be mega pretty

Hope you like it

Isn't this technically a template modification?

[exportforce]

technically yes

Might wanna clean up the IMG SRC code within your HTML block above. There'll be a new vB'er come along and paste that into his template as-is, without stripping out the BBCode or fixing the height= parameter.

And why would you want to use this? Sorry if I'm being ignorant :/

I think, if you are going to use VBulletin you should be so smart to not paste it into a wysiwyg

I need this for I have a forum where proxies and stuff is strictly forbidden.
So if vbulletin can't resolve an IP it's only 1 mouseclick to go to ripe and check what that IP is.
Did me already a perfect job, so I thought I share this

this mod is actually genius. i know exactly why you created this

unfortunately i cant get the image to show properly nor does the ripe search execute properly. i click on the ripe icon and it takes me to ripe site but nothing

personally i think this mod should be redone and centered around this site instead

http://whatismyipaddress.com/staticpages/index.php/lookup-ip

you get so much more useful info there

lots of potential with this one IMO

[exportforce]

thanks for the compliment
That page is not that good, you can not do a $_GET for the lookup.

That one neither knows 127.0.0.1 nor 192.168.1.1... xD

Sure could add that too.
Will need a small icon for that
