Nifty little code, actually.

I don't know anyone who's using ipv6 yet, so it's no use to me, but I thought I'd give you kudos for working on this.

IPv6 is right around the corner. Installing now. Thanks

Well, now they may do something about this, but, then again, who knows. Until supported natively by vB4, I have installed this simple work around. Thanks!!

Oh yeah, click on the vB tracker link and VOTE, as the fact that this has yet to even be scheduled (or at least planned to be) seems a bit inane for the "...largest international developer and distributor of proprietary community bulletin board software." (quoted from IB's site: http://www.internetbrands.com/our-brands/licensing/ )

Unfortunately this does not work anymore in 4.2. Is there any other workaround to use?

I've just hacked together the following, which seems to be working (in vB 4.2):

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Put above code somewhere in /includes/config.php (the normal vB config file), for example just before the last line (with ?>).

Warning: you might want to make a backup of the config file as messing up editing it will probably cause your forum to stop loading (just blank pages).

I'm also not 100% sure if putting the hack in config.php is quite the right location, as ideally it should of course be run before any vB code that uses IP addresses. But (in v4.2) at least the config file is included (executed) right before the IPADDRESS constant is defined (from the $this->ipaddress variable), so it should work alright.

My main motivation for trying to put it in the config file is that you can now easily upgrade your forum without the need to re-apply the hacks to init.php (which the plugin does require every time).

Note that in my solution I've changed the way IPv6 addresses are encoded; so encoded IPv6 will not look the same as the plugin.

So, what are the pros of doing this?

[Zachery]

For the record, vBulletin operates just fine with a server running ipv6.

To fix this mod for vB 4.2 change the code as follows: (added %256 on 3 lines)

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
