Whois users straight from the who's online list!

This is a quick tutorial on how to add a "Whois" button to your who's online list. This gives you the ability to whois any user and IP in one click.

Steps
  • ACP
  • Templates & Style
  • Templates
  • *your theme*
  • Who's Online Templates
  • online_row_ip

By default, it'll look like this:

[code=php]<br /><span class="smalltext">{$lang->ip} {$user['ip']} <a href="modcp.php?action=ipsearch&amp;ipaddress={$user['ip']}&amp;search_users=1">{$lang->lookup}</a></span>[/code]

Change it to this:

[code=php]<br /><span class="smalltext">{$lang->ip} {$user['ip']} <a href="modcp.php?action=ipsearch&amp;ipaddress={$user['ip']}&amp;search_users=1">{$lang->lookup}</a> - <a href="http://whois.domaintools.com/{$user['ip']}">[Whois]</a></span>[/code]

Optionally, you can also add target="blank" so that the whois page opens in a new tab so it'd be:

[code=php]
[code=php]<br /><span class="smalltext">{$lang->ip} {$user['ip']} <a href="modcp.php?action=ipsearch&amp;ipaddress={$user['ip']}&amp;search_users=1">{$lang->lookup}</a> - <a href="http://whois.domaintools.com/{$user['ip']}" target="blank">[Whois]</a></span>[/code]
[/code]

Save it then go check out your newly improved who's online list.
