Moderate New Registrations Based On IP Geographical Origin
Mod Version: 3.00, by Jafo232 (Coder) Jafo232 is offline
Developer Last Online: Oct 2022 I like it Show Printable Version Email this Page

vB Version: 3.8.1 Rating: (14 votes - 4.93 average) Installs: 167
Released: 11 Feb 2009 Last Update: Never Downloads: 623
Not Supported Uses Plugins Additional Files  

Original 3.7 mod here.

This mod will put any new registration into moderation so you can either approve or deny based on the physical location of the IP address. If the IP is located in a country that you white list, the registration will go through as normal.

This may be different for everyone else, but on my forums, I have yet to have a Russian IP sign up for anything other than posting SPAM. This plugin has moderated them all!

I hope to have time to eventually expand this to do other things.

You MUST download the zone files from this site:

http://www.ipdeny.com/ipblocks/ (download the "all files" file)

The free license does not allow me to include them with the product, plus it is better to download the latest files anyway.

No real screenshots to show here, sorry.

Changelog:

12/20/2008
  • Coded the routine in, instead of using external whois program.
  • Now compatible with Windows
  • (39 download of 1.0) (3.7.x)
2/11/2009
  • 77 downloads at this point (3.7.x)
  • Rewrote application to use zone files rather than relying on Arin
To upgrade, READ THE README, and re-install product (select overwrite).

Don't forget to:

Only licensed members can download files, Click Here for more information.

If you want to do that you could treat the valid country codes section as an EXCLUDE list, then just change this line in whois.php:


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

To this:


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)

OK..I am trying this one again. I get this in my VBulletin options:

You need to download zone files

If you see an error below, then you did not upload the zone files yet (see readme).

I have the zone files downloaded, unzipped and uploaded to the zones folder. This is ALL it says, no error.

You have the zones folder inside the plugins folder?

You must have really changed up your usergroups in the past. I agree, many plugins rely on 4 being the moderated usergroup. You can change that number to whatever your moderated usergroup is.

Never heard of anyone changing usergroup 4 to admin, but I guess that is just me.
