Thanks, I will re-check this, right now I am switching host, I am going with Infopop as my host. Hope i am making the right choice.

Couple of new, interesting features in v2.0, which you might want to check out.
I recall IP searching being quite popular request, and that's one of the new features in this release.

Extremely useful for the admins of big boards with hordes of people who don't bother reading the board's policies.

You've got a typo in cp_user_ips.pl, it says "Europian" rather than "European".

I also had to create the directory "user_ips" to avoid a problem. Did you miss the little enhancement in "ubb_lib_idle.cgi"? I couldn't find a test for directory existing.

Great hack though.

Great work Idle! Any chance of listing the files changed since 1.2.4 to save me a little time? Following this hack to the final!

Thanks Paulus Magnus, I've fixed my typo (incredible how those always manage to sneak in!) and the directory checking should work now (for some reason I had placed it outside of the routine where the IPs are logged).

Eaglecrew: The changes are in the following files:

ubb_registration.cgi
ubb_new_reply.cgi
ubb_new_topic.cgi
cp_users.cgi
ubb_lib_idle.cgi (just overwrite your old one)

And all of the templates listed in the text file (you can safely overwrite cp_user_ips.pl with the new one ).

ZIP has been updated with the fixes mentioned above.

Idle - love the hack - I have a challenge however.

Due to some "people issues", I've had to un-install it because on my board, it's a problem if my moderators can view ip's.

Is there a way of excluding moderators from viewing the output of the hack and restrict the info to admin only - if necessary through the CP only?

Then I could re-install it - it's a very good hack!

Sure there is!

I assume you don't want your moderator being able to view it in member profiles (Bonus Information), right?

Let me see...

Alright, open up "ubb_profile.cgi".

[code][/code]I believe that should do the trick.

Thanks Idle - great work

Any time!

I tried it and it still shows IP info to the mods if they click on the Moderator name in the far right column of the forum summary page. One other note... it works correctly if you click on the IP link for a post but the message says this information is only available to Admins/Mods. Can we remove the Mods text so the message is accurate? Thanks again idle for your work on this mod!!

Oh lord... no wonder it doesn't work, if you used my code posted above. There's some tiny "typo" in it. :rolleyes:

Anyways, this one I just tested, and it works just fine:

View code changes

And finally... save 'n upload, remember to backup your stuff, clear your cache, sit back and enjoy!

It wasn't as bad as you thought Idle. I didn't just copy and paste!

Ok made the changes and logged in as a mod. I can still view all the extra info if I click on the moderator link on the forum summary page.

When you say "all the extra info", are you referring to the section Bonus Information (Forum Leaders Only) and/or the one added by my mod, Recent Activities (Administrators Only)?

Anyway, I can have a look at your board if you want me to, just PM/email me the info.
If not, then I completely understand you.

I'm getting pretty clueless... works fine for some people, but not everyone. :rolleyes:

Idle, here is what I see when I login as a mod...

Bonus Information (Forum Leaders Only):
Login Name: EMJFLYR
Recent Activities Date/Time: 05-29-2002 11:12 PM
Recent Activities IP: 66.169.???.208
Last Login Date/Time: 05-29-2002 11:12 PM
Last Login IP: 66.169.???.208

This is the additional info I see logged in as an Admin...

Recent Activities (Administrators Only):
Date/Time: 05-29-2002 11:12 PM

Govner requested "Is there a way of excluding moderators from viewing the output of the hack and restrict the info to admin only?"

Basically my mods see the same info I see as a admin and thought this was a cure for that?

Thx!

I assumed you had removed the previous changes to "public_display_profile.pl", before.

Alright... I've decided to make this a part of the mod, and have updated the text instructions accordingly.

Since you've got everything else done, re-hacking public_display_profile.pl should do the trick.

Sorry Idle, guess I'm having trouble keeping up.

No problem, not at all!

I guess I'm having a problem being clear in my isntructions and posts.

Just tell me everything's working as you want it to be, and you'll make me the happiest Idle on Earth! Well, for some time, at least.

MultiHack worked fine! Works great all in all.

I'm still having problem with my sites IP's though. Thought this may help, but it didnt. Lots of people share the same IP.

example.

Joe, sally, matt, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah

click there logged IP, Brings up list of IP
1.10.11.10 (used as example)

1.10.11.10
underneath this ussually get a list of 10-15 names

site members = 500

this is the case for all the members. I dont even think my IP is correct that it logged.

Even after i installed the Advanced IP logging hack. Cleared cache. Deleted my internet cache and relogged onto the board. The same IP showed up. The wrong one, the one that is shared.

Im lost on this one and totally stumped.

anyways. Your hack worked fine. Great work, look forward to getting more use out of it when i get my IP thing straightened out.

I replied to your other topic in v6.3 Mod Ideas forum.

As for the MultiHack file... it isn't up to date and doesn't include the latest fixes, if memory serves.
I was going to remove those, both because I don't have the time to update them every time, and I find MH to be too unreliable when dealing with already modified boards.

Hello,

I installed this mod and it is recording ips in the user_ips directory.

But when I goto display them under the Control Panel, it does not display the ips.

The control panel only displays:

User IP History: Teleri (number 00000571)

But then it does not list any IP's, even though that user has a file with IP's in it in the user_ips directory. Also, it is displaying that line above the control panel drop down menu's (primary settings, members, maintenance, etc).

Any ideas? I am using release 6.3.0, I am not using JC Templates.
