RIPE whois not working on any SMF sites I'm admin on!

[Dave J]

See attachment of what happens when looking up an IP with RIPE

Early last year I changed the Ripe search option for 'IPLOCATION (Europe, the Middle East and parts of Africa and Asia)' the reason for this is because the results from Ripe were very minimal.

For those who want to change also here's how.

Backup first.

Sources>Profile.View.php

find

Code Select Expand

'ripe' => array(
                'name' => $txt['whois_ripe'],
                'url' => 'https://apps.db.ripe.net/search/query.html?searchtext=' . $context['ip'],
replace with

Code Select Expand

            'iplocation' => array(
                'name' => $txt['whois_iplocation'],
                'url' => 'http://www.iplocation.net/?query=' . $context['ip'],
Default>languages>Profile.English.php

Find

Code Select Expand

$txt['whois_ripe'] = 'RIPE (Europe, the Middle East and parts of Africa and Asia)';
replace with

Code Select Expand

$txt['whois_iplocation'] = 'IPLOCATION (Europe, the Middle East and parts of Africa and Asia)';
One last thing is that you would not need any of the other IP options as IPlocation does worldwide.

As I previously said I've been using this for quite some time and the results are quite comprehensive.
