Don't pollute my screen with any more windows, thanks (particularly since current operating systems have miserable window management). " Bèr Kessels Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ May 10, 2005 - 04:27 : baudolino Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/watchdog.add_IP_lookup.diff (972 bytes) This small patch adds IP lookup capabilities to the watchdog module using the free external site http://whois.sc. Basically, the IP becomes clickable, and a new window opens which displays a lot of data about the address in question. Might be useful for site administrators who need to look at suspicious activites, spiders, harvesters etc. I got this idea from the phpBB bulletin board software, which offers this feature for administrators. One line patch attached. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ May 10, 2005 - 14:46 : kbahey +1 for this patch. Shouldn't target="blank" read target="_blank" (with under score)? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ May 10, 2005 - 15:25 : Junyor -1 for using the target attribute. That's browsers UI functionality.
