IPv6 support

IPv6 support for SMF 2.0+ Only.  I will not backport these changes to 1.1.

This customization will add support for the IPv6 enabled clients in SMF 2.0.  Specifically posts, ip tracking and ban management have been changed.  Member search from the admin panel does support this by default.

Due to the size and necessity of the changes, please do not continue with installation if any change should fail the test.  This may lead to unexpected results or a unusable forum.

Note: During uninstallation, all IPv6 enabled bans will be disabled.  This customization makes attempts to track those changes in columns it adds to the ban_items table.  If you remove the database changes, this tracking will be lost.  In addition upon reinstallation this customization makes attempts to re-enable those bans that should still be active.

Note: Currently you are unable to link via iurl/url or auto linking ipv6 urls.  This is due to the square brackets that ipv6 addresses are enclosed in.  However this doesn't affect domains.

Thanks to Ray Soucy's for his IPv6 functions he wrote and allowing usage of them in this customization.

Nice mod.  I look forward to trying this mod.

One question:  How would another mod be able to check when ipv6 is being handled by the mod? Would it be noticeable somewhere?

SleePy:
Is there any mod that explicitly handles IPs in a non normal way?  Unlike ban management, most other IP storing should be in a proper sized data set. Other than that, you could do a ipv6 regex check.  For simple checks you could just test to see if : exists in the ip address.   SMF does validate that the IP address is a valid IPv4 and this mod validates a IPv6 address.

Help? I really need IPv6 for my site (:

Hello,
Do you have any other mods installed?

If you click on the arrow on the left, see which one of the edits on that file is failing, then click the edit icon.  That should give me information about what code it can't find.
