[ABD] TULIP: Tiny User Locator by IP

Post by dpaanlka »

SUMMARY:

This mod displays a flag image and the name of the country based on the IP address a user used to register at your board. The instructions below for viewtopic.php can be easily modified and included basically anywhere on the board where a registered user's id is accessible.

I have created a simple MOD that works great on my board. It only takes like one minute to install and has impressive results. At it's most basic, there are only two PHP files and one template file to edit. There are no database modifications whatsoever. Since installing it I've seen many interesting countries on my board, including China, Australia, Trinidad & Tobago, Thailand, Ukraine, Canada, Japan, the UK, and others! It's nice to see how international your board is!

I am now actively working to turn this into an approved MOD. I'm adding location detection down to a city/region level. This is my first MOD, so tips from seasoned phpBB MOD experts is much appreciated!

TO INSTALL:

First, download this zip file. It includes a directory named flags which has gif icons for the flags (obviously), the free GeoIP.dat data file for October 2009 (it's updated and freely downloadable every month from MaxMind), a php include named geoip.inc which contains the lookup scripts and is also provided by MaxMind, and functions_tulip.php, the TULIP functions.

Upload /flags to your root phpBB 3.x directory. Upload GeoIP.dat, geoip.inc and functions_tulip.php to the phpBB 3.x /includes directory.

Next, open viewtopic.php and find the following line:

Code: Select all

include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/bbcode.' . $phpEx);
Below, add:

Code: Select all

include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_tulip.' . $phpEx);
Then, find:

Code: Select all

'POSTER_ID'			=> $poster_id,
Below, add:

Code: Select all

########## BEGIN TULIP ##########
'POSTER_COUNTRY'	=> iptocountry($poster_id),
'POSTER_COUNTRY_FULL'	=> iptocountryname($poster_id),
########## END TULIP ##########
Close viewtopic.php.

Finally, find the viewtopic_body.html template file inside the directory for whichever style you're using, and add the following line inside the postrow wherever you'd like the flag of the post author to appear:

Code: Select all

<img src="./flags/{postrow.POSTER_COUNTRY}.gif">
You can also add this wherever you want the full name of the country to appear, such as in the above image's ALT tag:

Code: Select all

{postrow.POSTER_COUNTRY_FULL}
So you would in the ALT tag example end up with this line:

Code: Select all

<img src="./flags/{postrow.POSTER_COUNTRY}.gif" alt="{postrow.POSTER_COUNTRY_FULL}">
Tadaa!!!

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES:

I've so far found this to work for every country of every author that has yet posted, including Russia and China for spammers :roll: I don't know what will happen if the script somehow doesn't recognize an IP address, but I've included an extra flag called UN.gif which is simply the flag of the United Nations, which could be used as a placeholder or default flag. Also, since I created the zip file from the Mac OS X Finder, there is probably some rogue Finder database file in there. Just delete that...

Q&A:

Question: How can I put this on other pages other than viewtopic.php?
Answer: You'll paste in the same code for viewtopic.php mentioned in the instructions, but modify it if necessary to suit the needs of the new use. For example, if you wanted to add it to search results, then you'd want to pull the result row's user_id in search.php, like this:

Code: Select all

'POSTER_COUNTRY'	=> iptocountry($row['poster_id']),
'POSTER_COUNTRY_FULL'	=> iptocountryname($row['poster_id']),
I've easily gotten this to work in search.php, viewforum.php, viewonline.php, memberlist.php, and others by making simple modifications of the original. The only requirement is that, on whatever page you're adding it to, you must be able to access the ID of a user. This is usually referred to as poster_id, user_id, or something similar.

Question: How can I make sure my IP address database is up-to-date?
Answer: To updated your database of IP address country codes, simply download a new GeoIP.dat binary database file from MaxMind and upload it to /includes replacing your old copy. MaxMind releases a new GeoIP.dat file on the first of every month.

Question: How can I fix a user's incorrectly reported country?
Answer: If a country is reported incorrectly or not at all, this means the user registered from an unrecognized IP address. To repair this, simply edit the user_ip entry for the affected user in the database, replacing whatever is there with either a corrected IP address, or a "generic" IP address that reflects the user's country. You can find generic IP addresses for every country here. Simply select the desired country and choose an IP address from the list. You can also use this same method to fake your own location, by changing your registered IP address to a different country, although this would be a little shady on your part.

errors are gone after clearing the forum cache, of course :roll: stupid me.
I put all the code here below and got a notice "message contains to few characters", although the opposite seems true....

No, tried again, it doesn't work
The forum is fine now, jus that the flags don't show up

maybe I can show this last part, from the viewtopic_body.html

If your page is now showing up fine but there is a missing image (like a square with a question mark) then right click on it and see where it's attempting to fetch the image from. Wherever that is, is where you need to store the image files.

Where is your board?

I swear yesterday evening it was fine. I don't get no missing image icons or anything.
The forum on that server isn't used anymore, except as test server, the forum itself has been rehosted.

Go to your admin control panel, purge the cache, and see what happens...

NEW MODIFICATIONS!!!

For everyone else, I've since modified my first example from the beginning of this topic. When I call the iptocountry functions, I pass the user_id, and it returns the country flag from the IP address they registered from, rather than the IP address the post was made from. This has two benefits. First, the user will have the same country flag even if they post from a foreign location. Second, if their country flag is incorrect or they registered internationally, the flags can be changed board-wide by simply editing their user IP address in the database.

Here is the new block of code in functions.php... note that this is moved from the earlier functions_user.php:

Code: Select all

########## BEGIN IP FLAG STUFF ##########

function iptocountry($the_id)
{
	global $db;

	$sql = 'SELECT user_ip
    FROM ' . USERS_TABLE . '
    WHERE user_id = ' . $the_id;
	$result = $db->sql_query($sql);

	$ip = $db->sql_fetchfield('user_ip');

	include_once("geoip.inc");
	$gi = geoip_open("./includes/GeoIP.dat",GEOIP_STANDARD);
	$two_letter_country_code = geoip_country_code_by_addr($gi, $ip);
	geoip_close($gi);
	return $two_letter_country_code;
}

function iptocountryname($the_id)
{
	global $db;

	$sql = 'SELECT user_ip
    FROM ' . USERS_TABLE . '
    WHERE user_id = ' . $the_id;
	$result = $db->sql_query($sql);

	$ip = $db->sql_fetchfield('user_ip');

	include_once("geoip.inc");
	$gi = geoip_open("./includes/GeoIP.dat",GEOIP_STANDARD);
	$country_name = geoip_country_name_by_addr($gi, $ip);
	geoip_close($gi);
	return $country_name;
}

########### END IP FLAG STUFF ###########
In viewtopic.php (or wherever else) modify the code as necessary to pass the user_id rather than the poster_ip.

I know this topic is a bit old. But i use this on phpbb 3.0.5 and it works great :)

Is there a way to display the name of the country somehow? I can modify it a bit to just display the Initials of them (like DK, NL, IT etc.) with this code alone:

Code: Select all

{postrow.POSTER_COUNTRY}
Is there a code that displays the full name of the country?

This topic is only 2 months old. I created this code under 3.0.5, so yeah it should work great in your identical copy of 3.0.5 :lol:

Yes, as a matter of fact there is. You'll create a second function. I continuously try to improve and simplify this mod: as of right now, my entire functions.php modifications for the flags look like this:

Code: Select all

########## BEGIN IP FLAG STUFF ##########

function iptocountry($the_id)
{
	global $db;

	$sql = 'SELECT user_ip
    FROM ' . USERS_TABLE . '
    WHERE user_id = ' . $the_id;
	$result = $db->sql_query($sql);

	$ip = $db->sql_fetchfield('user_ip');

	include_once("geoip.inc");
	$gi = geoip_open("./includes/GeoIP.dat",GEOIP_STANDARD);
	$two_letter_country_code = geoip_country_code_by_addr($gi, $ip);
	geoip_close($gi);
	return $two_letter_country_code;
}

function iptocountryname($the_id)
{
	global $db;

	$sql = 'SELECT user_ip
    FROM ' . USERS_TABLE . '
    WHERE user_id = ' . $the_id;
	$result = $db->sql_query($sql);

	$ip = $db->sql_fetchfield('user_ip');

	include_once("geoip.inc");
	$gi = geoip_open("./includes/GeoIP.dat",GEOIP_STANDARD);
	$country_name = geoip_country_name_by_addr($gi, $ip);
	geoip_close($gi);
	return $country_name;
}

########### END IP FLAG STUFF ###########
As you can see, that second function returns the country name. You can put it into viewtopic.php's template variables for postrow (or anywhere else with access to poster_id information) like this:

Code: Select all

########## BEGIN IP FLAG STUFF ##########
		'POSTER_COUNTRY'	=> iptocountry($poster_id),
		'POSTER_COUNTRY_FULL'	=> iptocountryname($poster_id),
		########### END IP FLAG STUFF ###########
Call it in template with {postrow.POSTER_COUNTRY_FULL}. On my board, I put this information into the ALT tag of the country flag, which results in a tooltip containing the country name when you hover the mouse over the flag.

My modifications in this topic have nothing to do with your IP Country Flag mod. I haven't used it or seen it previously, and I'm sure it works wonderfully. I guess it's just a coincidence that I called it the same thing... but from what I read, your mod looks overly complicated for my needs. 45 minutes and 24 file edits? My mod takes like 5 minutes and edits a mere handful of files - only two php files plus the template file if you just want flags in viewtopic. Plus, I didn't want to put all your copywrited intellectual property into my board :P
