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


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



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

Find


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


$txt['whois_iplocation'] = 'IPLOCATION (Worldwide)';
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.

Thanks for these code changes. I'm sure they will come in useful. Also, I think this has all been fixed in 3.0

You're welcome. I think 3.0 might not be around for at least 12-18 months yet, well not gold anyway.

Fixed a while back in git (so it'll be fixed if 2.1.5 ever happens). I also fixed the LACNIC URL while I was at it.

I think IPLocation is a better option anyway OM, the details are more comprehensive and it covers the whole world, IMO 

I see "Europe, the Middle East and parts of Africa and Asia" but what about the US and other parts of the world?

It still works there, I just copied and pasted the text from Ripe, I will change it

Ok, it does work well.
