Where are my DNSstuff results? Updating DNS links

Posted: Wed Jun 17, 2009 2:29 am

Yeah! that would be nice if they answer this question. Now they want us to pay to show ip location. Shocked

We need to look for another alternative. They just want money. Take a look. It doesnt show anymore location IP. Grrr

Here I am again. After taking a warm coffee then I realize I should play around with this site.

Solution:

Open your blocks folder on your root(where your config.php is)

open block-User_Info.php with a decent editor and do the following changes.

Search for

Code:

$whoisServerString       = 'www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=';

Replace with

Code:

$whoisServerString       = 'www.dnsstuff.com/tools/ipall/?ip=';

Now we dont need to pay since u can do a free scanner there.

Enjoy Very Happy

A smaller change would be to change;

Code:

$whoisServerString       = 'www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=';

to;

Code:

$whoisServerString       = 'www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois/?ip=';

+ it would show you the same info as it did before.

Although the same link can be found on the look-up page if you choose to use your edit above Wink

NukeSentinel would need to be updated as well btw.

Yes you are right. I just took another option to show more specific location but thanks for replying. I will seach on Nuke Sentinel to see where we need to change that code. Thanks again.

Lol, just busy posting a similar guide but nvm Laughing

I'm not sure what the code in includes/nukesentinel.php actually does, what does it do?

Don't forget, that if you made the changes in admin/modules/nukesentinel/ABMain.php, you should go to your NukeSentinel Administration and hit 'Save Changes' to load the new URL in your database.

Don't forget that you can change the IP Lookup to Arin Net within the NS admin.

Probably should have a centralized function for all scripts needing WHOIS, so when things change, its easy to update in one spot Smile

Or a separate input field where you can fill in the entire address.
I've seen this a lot in Wordpress plug-ins and works like a charm. Another thing is that you wouldn't be restricted to the WHOIS choice of the author.
