Miscellaneous Hacks - Ad Information (IP Hash, Country, Username)

This plugin will look like this, without the callsign field though. I wrote it for my forums (for the most part) and now sharing it with you. It is licensed to you under the standard MIT licence everyone knows and loves (Seriously... Do anything you want with the below. I don't care if you print it out, roll it up with your drug of choice, and smoke it) << - This is a joke

Also while I did make this for my Swap "n" Shop you can modify the code below to make if say just about anything. As for support I will try an help whenever possible.

You may also want to change:

• "<site>" to your sites url. (occurs twice in code)
• "__HASH__" This is the salt for your hash, changing this value will make it much more harder to brute-force the hash. (occurs once in code)

PHP Code:

$show_hashed_ip_forumid = array();/* fill with nothing to enable on all section */     
if (isset($post) && isset($thread) && isset($post['ip']) && isset($thread['forumid'])) {     
    $show_hashed_ip = false;     
    if (array() == $show_hashed_ip_forumid) {     
        $show_hashed_ip = true;     
    } else if (in_array($thread['forumid'], $show_hashed_ip_forumid)) {     
        $show_hashed_ip = true;     
    }     
    if ($show_hashed_ip) {     
    
  //do curl call to api for getting country name by ip   
  $geo_api_url = 'http://www.geoplugin.net/php.gp?ip='.$post['ip'];     
  $ch = curl_init();   
  $timeout = 5;   
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $geo_api_url);   
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.0)");   
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);   
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST,false);   
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER,false);   
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 10);   
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);   
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);   
  $data = curl_exec($ch);   
  curl_close($ch);   
    
  $geo_code = unserialize($data);     
  $country = $geo_code['geoplugin_countryName'];     
    
        $post['message'] .= '   
<div style="margin-top: 25px;     
border: 1px solid green;     
padding: 8px;line-height: 20px;

} 


Note : to enable it only on some subforums, replace this

PHP Code:

$show_hashed_ip_forumid = array();/* fill with nothing to enable on all section */ 


With this (for example sub forum ids are 5, 6, 10)

PHP Code:

$show_hashed_ip_forumid = array(5, 6, 10);/* fill with nothing to enable on all sec
