UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development Addons and Modifications [7.3+] Admin IP Information

In .T7 we have the option of having it so the admins (or Admin's, Global Mod's, and Mod's) can see the IP address of a user. This quick modification will link the displayed IP Address of the user to the IP Address whois on Domain Tools which will provide the admin (or mod) to view where the IP is located, who the ISP is, if its blacklisted, and show what the reverse address search is...

I wrote this up on 7.5 however it should work fine from 7.2+ (as the post information was moved to post_top and post_side); any previous 7.x releases should use this mod.

There isn't really a demo (as you can't see ip's on my site unless you're an admin/mod), but you can see how the DomainTools.com IP listing looks here.

You can change the search engine you use (should you have one you prefer, such as the one at www.dollardns.net which is the original one I tested this on) you can just edit the domain line in the above replaces.

I'm running 7.2.2

I hit a roadblock as soon as I started... I couldn't find this code in the original file.



I took a look at the "other" mod that you referenced for older versions, and it looks like it matches. So should this one be for 7.3+ ?

Lemme take a look at the older versions i have here for that line; it'll likely be 7.3

Yeh, it's there in that format in 7.3; so updated the topic titles

I was JUST going to report this. Domaintools, all of a sudden, has a problem with the parentheses so they needed to be taken out. Should've known Giz would be on top of it!

always a step ahead
