OK gus, I'm stumped.  I was looking through my board last night and couldn't find what you were talsking about (re - Forum Log).  Give me a hint so I know what to look for or, better yet, give me the action listed on your board's URL in the location you're talking about (ex. *url*/*cgi-bin*/*yabb2*/AdminIndex.pl?action=).

Ok gus, I found out what you were talking about.  The zip file containing the mods have been updated and can be accessed by that link (I didn't change version numbers just out of sheer laziness.) 

If you want to manually implement this part of the mod, here's what you do:

Open Admin.pl and look for these 2 lines around lines 524-525:

		if ($newiplist[$i]->[0] =~ /\S+/ && $newiplist[$i]->[0] =~ /\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}/) {
			$guestiplist .= qq~$newiplist[$i]->[0]&nbsp;<span style="color: #FF0000;">(<i>$newiplist[$i]->[1]</i>)</span><br />~; 

and replace them with this:

## start link IP mod - define $iplink ##
		if($iputil eq 0){$iputil = 'ptr';}
		if($iputil eq 1){$iputil = 'whois';}
		if($iputil eq 2){$iputil = 'city';}
		if($iputil eq 3){$iputil = 'tracert';}
 		  $iplink = qq~<a href="http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/$iputil.ch?ip=$newiplist[$i]->[0]" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;">$newiplist[$i]->[0]</a>~;
## end link IP mod ##

		if ($newiplist[$i]->[0] =~ /\S+/ && $newiplist[$i]->[0] =~ /\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}/) {
			$guestiplist .= qq~$iplink&nbsp;<span style="color: #FF0000;">(<i>$newiplist[$i]->[1]</i>)</span><br />~; 

If you don't want to manually implement it, uninstall the current version of this mod, download the new "fix" from the link on the first page and then install it.

Now the guest IP addresses in the click log/forum log will be linked.

You're welcome, gus, and thanks for your input.  Actually, thanks to all who have made comments/suggestions.  That's the fun thing about open-source software - everyone gets to contribute. 

I'll let this mod sit in beta mode for a little while longer.  If nobody has anything else to add comment or suggestion-wise, I'll throw it out as a final.

Email me a copy of your AdminIndex.pl file (after applying the mod) and I'll try to debug it for you.

Tried again today to modify the adminindex.pl. no luck.

When does the file link_ip.txt get created?

and what should the CHMod settings be for the files uploaded?

Alrighty then.  Go ahead and replace it with this:

if (-e("$vardir/link_ip.txt"))  {
	require "$vardir/link_ip.txt";  ## link IP mod
} 

I'll update the mod on Monday.

Thanks for finding the bug. 

can u upload your display.pl and yabb.pl so that i can have a look at the. it really weird as i have 51 mods on my forum and none of them clash
