Josh, I'm not a computer go-to man and I had a question come up about this code.
We recently had a couple of new join members register with the same IP address that we discovered as there were some trash posts going on.
I updated my Moderators about this and one of the Moderators said that he had chatted with one of the users in question and the user assured him that they were not the same people.
So, my question to you is how does this code gather IPs so I can better inform my Moderators that this hack isn't spitting out bad info for us? I'm not up to speed on how this kinda schtuff works is all....
The user's IP address is stored when they register, and when they make each post. All this mod does is display them all in one place (and unique IPs of posts).
You can view the same information in threads, but you have to look in multiple places to do so. You have to edit their profile to see their registration IP and you have to look at each post to see the IP they posted.
Thid mod doesn't change or interpret anything, it just displays that info on one page so you can see it all at a glance. Otherwise you'd have to browse the profile and the posts to see the IPs they are using.
I've added a little more functionality to this already useful mod. It allows you to optionally view a User's IPs by a monthly basis. Attached is the updated showip.txt file; you'll have to rename it to .php and then you just need to make the following change to the showuser template:
### ### Open /templates/default/admin/showuser.tmpl ###
A neat feature on this as well would be that as you view a member's profile....there would also be a link to show you what other members are sharing the same IP address.

There's a lot of potential to add value to the showip function. I have a couple of more ideas in mind but I'll put this out there as a start. [/]
Hi Myke, I added the change in the code as you wrote, but when I click on the IPs by Month link....it still just lists all the IPs but doesn't look any different than Show User's IPs.
