IP Blocker for v1.5.x

[lat9]

Did you have an active session at the time you blocked the access? From code inspection, if the IP address is active at the time the 'block' was added then it's not blocked until the next attempted session.

Noting also that the updates made to the admin's whos_online.php haven't kept up with the various changes in zc156.

...hmm, later it did block it. So, works as expected.

Note for testing, just delete the zenid cookie to reset the session in that browser.

I've just submitted v2.2.0 of the IP Blocker to the plugin moderators for review and will post back here once it's available (https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1814) for download.

This release contains changes associated with the following GitHub issues. Note that support is dropped for Zen Cart versions prior to 1.5.6!

#12: Correct use of PHP's serialize function.
#13: Correct "special_login" page location; issue when store is installed in a sub-directory.
#14: Restructure, using HTML5 for zc156+.
#15: Reduce changes to `whos_online.php` (1 change section).
#16: Correct MySQL error on initial install.
#17: Use the built-in `zen_get_ip_address` to retrieve the current IP address.
#18: Automatically block addresses found invalid by `zen_get_ip_address`
#19: Remove unused fields from the database table.
#20: Admin: Use PHP's `val_function` to validate any entered IP address.
#21: Add language-constant to contain the `special_login` page's instructions.
#22: No exit, now, from the `special_login` page if the configured password is blank/empty.
#23: Simplify storefront checks for wildcard IP address ranges.
#25: Admin: Display the password (hashed) as a simple input field instead of a password one.

Just installed the 2.2.0 ip blocker.
i am getting this error message on Php 7.3 zen 1.5.7

PHP Warning: A non-numeric value encountered in whos_online.php on line 75


That line is this
$xx_mins_ago = (time() - 'WHOIS_TIMER_REMOVE');

Has anyone else had this happen?

1. There should not be quotes around 'WHOIS_TIMER_REMOVE'.
2. That's the 1.5.6 version of the file, but you said you're using v1.5.7 (which has a very different version of that file).

Thank you I have corrected that and get this error about the same line.
PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant WHOIS_TIMER_REMOVE - assumed 'WHOIS_TIMER_REMOVE' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP)

Prior to 1.5.7 that constant was defined in the whos online language file. In 1.5.7 it chooses a default if it's not defined.
I can't speak to the plugin you're using: maybe you're using a version of it that's not ready for 1.5.7?
You didn't quote the log details which explain the name of the file where the warning is occurring, so it's increasingly difficult to give any sort of useful assistance.

Thank you for mentioning that. I looked and compared the whos_online.php file to the 1.5.7 file and they were different so I copied the newest one from the 1.5.7 zen version and I believe that fixed it. I am not getting any error logs now. I am so sorry for the bother. I should have checked that to begin with. I do appreciate your help.
