Mini Mods - Don't Track Staff IP's

This is a pretty simple mod, it was a request in the paid addons section but some people bailed on the person requesting it. So I coded it and decided to release it for free for everyone.

All the addon does is stop logging ip addresses for users in the defined usergroups for posts/threads. In theory it should carry over to the blogs also if ip's are tracked there.

Things it doesn't do:
Stop logging IP's in the admincp
Remove old IP addresses from the database.

Things it does do:
Stops logging ip addresses for current users in the list

To configure which groups don't get logged: Settings > Options > Message Posting and Editing Options > Which usergroups should we not store IP's for?

This could be interesting but I prefer if there is an option to stop logging IP's of individual user instead of entire user group. I believe many people would agree with me. Can you provide this option?

does this work on vb3.8?

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't. (aside from the fact I told the product not to install to vb3)

Why not make an extra usergroup, toss them into that, and add it to the usergroups not to track?

Hi i like this hack and it doesn't show on posts but it still does show if you go to who's online page... is der any way it can hide from who's online list too beside taking viewing who is online power from other usergroups?

thanks

Bad idea... why ?
If someone hack/phishes the staffs account, you will never know who it was.

If someone does this, unless they post it wouldn't matter anyway. IP's are only stored when a user posts, preforms a moderator/administrator action.

Hello, i have a problem. Although i have selected not to store ip's for admins and mods, it doesn't store for members too and i haven't make that choise. Any help?

It should only stop groups 5 6 and 7 by default. Did you enter more usergroups into the field?

[slipkot]

yes. but i didn't enter registered member's uergroup id.
