Mod Name: Advanced IP Logging

Description: Adds new IP logging feature to your board.
It also adds Recent Activities section with date/time/IP
to member profiles.
Adds "View User IP History" link to users profiles
(admins only, Control Panel).
Adds a new search option to the Extended Search Options in
the UBB Control Panel (User IP History).

Updates:

v1.2 -
Adds a new link next to "View User Posts" named View User IPs in profiles viewed from within the UBB™ Control Panel.
It lists all recorded IPs for users, and provides three links for IP lookup on ARIN, RIPE and APNIC (America, Europe and Asia).

v2.0 -
Only "unique" IPs are recorded. That is, if the IP already exists in the user's log, it won't be recorded again.
IPs are recorded on submission of new topics/replies as well.
"View User IP History" links added to "New Members", and search results pages within the UBB Control Panel.
Added a new option to the "Extended Search Options" page (Control Panel, View/Edit Member Records) which enables you to search for specific IP addresses in the IP logs created by this mod.
It is an exact IP matching, so entering an incomplete IP will do no good.

v2.0.1 -
Bug fix: Directory created if it doesn't exist.
Only administrators are allowed to view the
"Recent Activities" part of member profiles.

Idle,

Thank you very much!

Hack seems to work beautifully! Just one question...

I get the following error using MH.

public_display_profile.pl ERROR this is for "public_display_profile.pl" located in "NonCGI/Templates/JCTemplates"

I am not using the JCTemplates on my board so I assume this makes no differance?

Thanks Idle.

That's right, it doesn't matter if you're not using JCTemplates.

Not sure why MH gives that error though, it didn't when I tried it on my test boards.
I'll have a better look at it. :rolleyes:

Nice work Idle

Danke schöne!

Still have to update the MultiHack files though... they're still at v1.2.2 or something. :rolleyes:

ok??
=============================================
An error has occured:

Undefined subroutine &main::GetLastLoginInfo called at CGIPath/ubb_profile.cgi line 607.
=============================================

This happend when trying to view a profile right after installing this.

Did you uppload "ubb_lib_idle.cgi" to your CGI Directory and CHMOD to 755?

either something happened in my download or i accidently deleted those files, but i got them and uploaded and it is working fine now, thanks

That's good to hear.

Found a problem... it doesn't capture ALL IP's. Some users it captures and others it doesn't. All users have the same access rights. Any ideas on this one?

Thanks!

Did you install the updated mod?

If so, are you sure it doesn't capture the IPs for everyone?
You know it only does when people log in & register.
Some people rely on cookies and don't login for even weeks... thus, the IPs of those won't be recorded until they login the next time after logging out/cookie expire.

I'm running it on a board with 3000+ members, and it's working fine so far... except, it doesn't record the IP of those who are already logged in.

Thanks Idle,

Its probably just what you explained. Not logging in each time. I will keep an eye on it!

Alright.

If you want to log the IP when people post as well, then all you have to do is:

[code][/code]I wouldn't recommend this if your members are very active posters... but it should be fine, nevertheless.

I got an error when I tried this guys.
This is what it showed when I tried to log back in myself.

"Sorry, UBB has encountered an unexpected, fatal error. This error is extremely abnormal. Please contact
the board administration. The error text is:

Can't open 'CGIPath/Members/user_ips/00000002.cgi'.

I was unable to find that file or directory. Please check the paths.

The exact error returned by the operating system is:
No such file or directory"

Any ideas what needs to be corrected.

Tiny "typo" in ubb_lib_idle.cgi.
Ugh...

I've updated the MHP and ZIP files, so you should be fine with just re-uploading (and overwriting) the existing ubb_lib_idle.cgi.

Just did a test registration and confirmed the IP was not captured during the registration process.

Idle do I need to rehack the files? I installed it immediately after you ported it for 6.3.

Thanks

IP logging on registration wasn't added until v1.2.3, so if you're using the initial release, you'll probably get away with editing "ubb_lib_registration.cgi".

Again, just to be sure I'd read the instructions as well and have a look at previous changes in your files.

No need to if you upgrade.
In last update, I added a check in ubb_lib_idle.cgi which checks if the directory exists, and if it doesn't, it will create it.
