ipInfo -- Extra user IP information

# ipInfo v. 1.2 for vBulletin 3.5.x

Old VB 3.x can be found here (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=66824)

ipInfo is a replacement for the standard 'view users ip' option in
vBulletin. Normally when you click on the view ip button in a user's post
you'll only see his or hers ip address and host name.

With ipInfo you'll get more information. Besides the ip address and host
name you will also see what other users have posted with the same ip
address. That feature can be really good for spotting clones.

Another thing ipInfo will show you is what other ips this user has posted
with and how many times. Could be useful when you want to ban all of the
ips of a user and not just the one of that post.

Thanks a lot, very usefull to have some more info than the basic things vB gives.
(Confirmed to work 100% with vB3.5 Gold)

Great! I'll test it out now.

EDIT: works great!

[nexialys]

best of all, and quite easy to install for a complete IP report...!!!

Yes Sir, the extra info does help root out trouble makers.

:cool:

[Kirk Y]

Nice one. Would it be possible to show users that share any of the additional IP addresses?

[.Tim]

Great hack!

[BradE]

Works great, very helpful for rooting out trolls with multiple accounts.

[Zachariah]

Ill take a look.

[jribz]

Thanks for the great hack, one question though, would it be very difficult to use geotargeting, or tracking, to automatically determine the physical location of the IP address, sort of like a IP or DNS reversal? I had a situation on my boards where we were banning allot of people, it took a while before we realized they were all from India and this would have made the process much much quicker.

[Alien]

It's great to see the return of this! Thanks so much!

This will tell the Host name - look @ image.

cpe-xx.xxx.xx.xx.socal.res.rr.com

S. California - socal
Roadrunner - rr

You can always do "tracert" on the IP to find where it is.

I don;t believe this can be ported into this hack directly, but there is a proxy hack that can be combined with this.

I found a major problem on this mod. When you click the IP on an unregistered user who posted in a forum it takes minutes to load and the reason is, after its done loading it generates what seems to be hundreds of IP's under the All IP's for this user. Im assuming it pulls all ips for the name unregistered user.

Can you modify this so it wont pull any additional IP's for unregistered posts?

[havefun]

OK ill add an <if> statment - if guest no link just show IP that should work.

[WNxWakko]

Thanks, just let me know when you have it updated. I think it pulled over 1000-2000 IP's on it. I have a big board, so it probably went back like 2 years worth of IP lol

[Avalon111]

great hack!!!

i had to change _SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] to $_SERVER['HTTP_X_REMOTECLIENT_IP']. because my host uses a loadbalancer.

before i changed that all users had the same ip (from the host). now all users appear in the Users sharing the same IP Address. because the old wrong ip is still in the database.

is it possible to clear all stored ip adresses?

So basicly every user's post ip must be reset. This hack looks @ the IP recorded on each post. If all your posts have the same IP then we could Null the posts that are currently on you forum to "enpty or blank" value and all the new posts will be ok.

Question: I have a major problem with people registering with false info and then accessing restricted info that is only meant for certain usergroups. These individuals arent worried about posting, but instead access info that isnt meant for them. I try to audit accounts on a weekly basis but the default VB admin doesnt give me much to work with.

Will your hack help with this? Keep in mind these people use false info to sign up so that they can access info that is meant ONLY for other users.

It works fine for the forum but I'm also using vbAdvanced Gallery and it doesn't work in there. So is there a way of having the url in postbit_ip point to ipinfo.php only if it's in the forums and work as before everywhere else?

I could work on a add-on to add the gallery posts to the mix. I too have vbAdvanced gallery, I forgot it also uses the same type of format. :nervous:

Or, limit the option to only the forums.

[royouth]

The add-on sounds like a great idea. I think that when doing an IP/username search using the vbulletin ACP it doesn't search the gallery posts so if you can somehow get add the gallery posts to IpInfo that would be great, since some users post only in the gallery and don't even visit the forums.

[Boss-Hog]

Hello,

I installed this hack but cannot access the additional information that should be provided when clicking on the IP button in a particular post. When I do that, it pulls up the standard vB IP information screen instead of the hacked version. I have doublechecked that I did everything correctly - the ipinfo.php is in my root forums directory, I successfully imported product-ipinfo.xml as a product and I made the template modifications to all styles in postbit_ip and I set the necessary variable in the admin CP to 60 days. However, the problem is that the link that the IP button in a postbit is not linking to the ipinfo.php file - it's merely linking to the generic IP information, despite my postbit_ip template having the proper code. Am I accessing the hack the proper way? (by clicking on the IP image directly to the right of the "Report Bad Post" image in a postbit) If I am, could the problem be related to the fact that I have Paul M's "Use real ip when proxy server is detected" hack installed, as well? Thanks!

I disabled the product for Paul's hack and that allowed your hack to work properly. However, others have said in this thread that they have both hacks installed. I tried installing yours before his and his before yours and neither seems to solve the problem of yours not working without disabling his.

how about when editing postbit_ip don't replace any code but just add it underneath. What that should do is add two ip.gif buttons. Well at least that's what I did to get around ipInfo not working in gallery, One of the ip.gif leads to the regular postings.php or moderate.php page and the other leads to ipInfo.php . It's not the best solution but that's all I could come up with.

[joeychgo]

I like this hack - thank you.

Zachariah, awesome hack! Works perfectly!

A FEW NOTES:

- It's not *really* compatible with Pau'ls mod Use real ip when proxy server is detected (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=95198), meaning...they both work fine but not at the same time.

You do have to 'disable' paul's mod to get this one to work, which I don't really mind.

As far as this suggestion by royouth;

This only works if Paul's mod is disabled. If Paul's mod is disabled, then you do get two 'ip.gifs' one with the standard info and the other with the 'extra ip info', but the 'red.gif' from Paul's mod doesn't show up either way.

Just thought this might help you guys in making your mods work together.

QUESTION: Other than clicking on the 'view users ip' in the post, does this mod add any extra functionality in the AdminCP? Just curious.

@ the moment nothing in AdminCP.

There is only 1 template edit, I'll make another template on the installer vs. edit and see if we can do a templateless install.
:D

I'll poke around.

Another note - For this to work on the VBA gallery will take a little more time.

Zachariah, awesome hack! Works perfectly!

A FEW NOTES:

- It's not *really* compatible with Pau'ls mod Use real ip when proxy server is detected (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=95198), meaning...they both work fine but not at the same time.

.
.

This only works if Paul's mod is disabled. If Paul's mod is disabled, then you do get two 'ip.gifs' one with the standard info and the other with the 'extra ip info', but the 'red.gif' from Paul's mod doesn't show up either way.

Actually they can work together quite well, I tested it before this was released - I privately converted ipinfo for someone before Zac released this, the only real problem is the postbit. If you have any 3.5 version of Proxy to Real installed and then disable the product/plugins, it will still do the actual proxy > real ip conversion, and use/record the real ip address - what it won't do is store/use the proxy address.

I *think* that if you have the latest version of the proxy hack installed (2.11) - fully enabled - and then just manually disable the Proxy to Real IP (2) plugin, and leave the others active, they should co-exist nicely.

Great info Sir. :bunny:
- good for a quick fix.

I'll still work on a fix so that you do not need to disable anything. I hate to install new toys and then have to jump through hoops just to make it work. :cry:

Is it possible to add a second row under the "Duplicate IPs" bit where 'Registered IP Addresses' (dates too) and not just 'Post' IPs can also be factored in?

[davidw]

* christianb clicks install

[Snake]

Thank you, all installed!

[Chadi]

When I click on the IP icon below postbit (thread view) it shows this:


$postinfo[username]'s information stored for post: $postinfo[postid]
IP Address : $postinfo[ipaddress].
Host Address : $postinfo[hostaddress].
Alt IP Address : $postinfo[altip].
Alt Host Address : $postinfo[althostaddress].
User Agent : $postinfo[useragent].


How do I correct this?

Dates - good idea.

Oh yes that's definitely a good idea! :)

Why?

[Moparx]

Where My:Hacks (http://www.gzhq.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=757) Went.

why are you moving all your stuff off of vb.org?

i personally am not joining another forum just for one person's hacks.. and i think most will agree with me.

[Code Monkey]

Plenty of other hacks in the sea.

[Zachariah]

I can host here I can not do tons of support here the hacks are turning into a mess.

I'll set up a support system tickets or something.

- I got a few other toys in the mix w/ this hack soon :D

did anyone get this to work w/ Real IP hack - Paul put out ?

[Chadi]

I installed some IP mods for 3.51 and now anytime I click on the pc icon for IP info in postbit I get something like this:

$postinfo[username]'s information stored for post: $postinfo[postid]
IP Address : $postinfo[ipaddress].
Host Address : $postinfo[hostaddress].
Alt IP Address : $postinfo[altip].
Alt Host Address : $postinfo[althostaddress].

I must moved all of my hacks here to my personal site and off - vBulletin.org

To do's:
- Upload all the current hacks.
- Install Bug system

All updates will be @
http://www.gzhq.net/
Could you explain that mail? It's not really clear to me (and most likely to otherS) what's the reason of that move, myself I'd prefer to have all hacks collected at one site, in this case vB.org.

[Zachariah]

It was an error.

There are 2 hacks for a gallery that was here at vb.org that must be moved off the site, not all of them.

[vB 3.5.x] Module CMPS vBA Gallery
[vB 3.5.x] vBa Gallery - Forum Home

They will be moved to photopost.com

Hi Zachariah

I have this hack downloaded and installed today. But i can't gent the IP info option in AdminCP => vBulletin Options => vBulletin Options => Message Posting and Editing Options => IP Info

That option simply doesn't appear in any place after the install (and uninstall and reinstall)
Can you help ?

Updated.

I uploaded 1.1 :nervous: and not 1.2.

Why does there have to be 2 IP images now?

[Zachariah]

Why does there have to be 2 IP images now?

@ the moment if you have Paul M's proxy hack installed also.
- the 2 hacks use the same area to show data.

[WNxWakko]

I found a solution to all of this madness lol.


Ok check this out. There is several if conditions here to deal with. In the last page suggestion it didnt account for the guest forum unregistered members posting problem as well. If a guest posts you dont want the advanced ip pulling all that info(some cases hundreds of ips)

Also instead of having 2 IP icons showing all the time. Here is the solution to have it only show 1 icon, unless a proxy is detected and then only on that case will you see two icons.

Replace all in postbit_proxyip with this below.

<if condition="$show['ip']">
$vbphrase[ip]: $post[ip]
<else />
<if condition="($post[proxyip] != '')">
<a href="postings.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getip&amp;p=$post[postid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/px.gif" alt="$vbphrase[ip]" title="$post[ip]" border="0" /></a>
<else />
<a href="postings.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getip&amp;p=$post[postid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/blank.gif" alt="$vbphrase[ip]" title="$post[ip]" border="0" /></a>
</else></if>
<if condition="$post['userid'] > 0">
<a href="ipinfo.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/ip.gif" alt="$vbphrase[ip]" title="$post[ip]" border="0" /></a>
<else />
<a href="postings.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getip&amp;p=$post[postid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/ip.gif" alt="$vbphrase[ip]" title="$post[ip]" border="0" /></a>
</if>
</if></if>

EDIT-- cant upload a blank image.

Just upload a blank transparent image into your images/buttons folder called blank.gif. make it 1px by 1px and its basically invisible.

[Zachariah]

hmmmm ........... interesting :)
Nice WNxWakko I'll take a look at your concept.

Thank You.

I have installed to 3.5.4 w/o a problem.
- There is something on a new install.

Goto:

EDIT:

It started working for about 1 minute and then stopped again after I uploaded the ipinfo.php and re-installed everything again :(

[Nathan2006]

OK I have found out what the problem is,

I went through all my plugins with ip on them and I found what it was:

If you have installed this> Use real ip when proxy server is detected (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=95198)
It does not work with this one.

So if you hover over your ip icon next to a users name in the status bar it should say

www.your-domain-name.com/ipinfo.php?xxx

If it comes up with something like:

www.your-domain-name.com/postings.php?do=getip&p=43

Its wrong and not pointing to the ipinfo.php and its another product that conflicting with it.

Mine is working great now:D

Thanks again Zachariah;)

[Zachariah]

This hacks still has 1 template edit take a look in the readme.

If it is then remove it :)

[Zachariah]

When I leave this field empy, how many days we will be showed?

It should give you a DB error. The day limit is needed (at the moment). Under a large load (500k+ posts over years) it has been reported to crash the server with out a limiter. I have not had any problems reported @ 120-180 days depending on site activity.

The plug-in itself is working fine, but I have a customization question.

On a few of my styles, I have all instances of cellspacing="$stylevar[spacing]" replaced with cellspacing="0".

This is to remove all of the inner borders. It was fine with the default postbit_ip template, but now after adding this, there's cellspacing on this page. It's not a huge deal, but I'd prefer to remove it if I easily can. I looked through the postbit_ip template and found none of the instances above, so I wouldn't know how to remove it. If you need a pictoral example of what I mean, just ask.

Otherwise, a very nice plug-in. I was with a phpBB board before and liked the way it handed tracing users through IP addresses better than vBulletin did, and this just about does the same. Nice work.

Edit: Nevermind my question. I see it's done through it's own template. I got it all worked out. Nice job again.

Oh this is such a great script. I been looking for this for a very long time, it's clean and user friendly I love it! Thank you! ;):up:

I just have 3 requests, please reply to let me know if you can add them or not:

1) Can you please have it store a record of their host names as well?
2) If a user registers under an IP close to the one he uses in case this person has a dynamic IP then can you make it so that the script knows it’s the same person?
3) Could you add a place that tells you the country for that IP?

Again great job man, I love this script! Thanks a lot!

The setting can be found in vBulletin Options > Message Posting and Editing Options > IP Info.

The two image files in the download are not part of the installation - just screenshots.

Update: *Uninstalled* so I can install v1.3 for vB Version: 3.6.x (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=117966).
