IP Address - in SVG!

by johnnysaucepn

V1.5 May 2, 2006 4:04:42 AM

Update: now uses ippages.com for data, and has a smoother, and hopefully faster, panel design. Also finally updated to conform to Opera style guidelines.

Part experiment, part demo, part tool! This widget shows your current public IP address, for users with dynamic IP addresses. Customisable with a wide selection of colour schemes for any desktop.

The whole widget is written and scripted in SVG+Ecmascript, the HTML file exists only as a container.

Shows a warning when www.ippages.com could not be contacted, and a flag when the IP changes. Just click the widget to clear the flag.

Works great for me... Really nice tool. I just was looking for a tool which can show my public IP adress and I asked myself if there is maybe some widget for Opera. And Opera haves it ! I love Opera

I think this is the simplest

It stopped working around 2008 Jun 29. Was working fine before then. Nothing happens when I select Widget > IP address from my menu, except the name shows bold, as if it were loaded - but nothing is visible. I checked Properties to see if there were any settings I could fix to make the widget work, but the widget was already set to always display on top.

Just a wee warning - looks like the current 9.5 alpha releases have a problem with some aspect of the SVG file (I suspect transparency), which freezes the browser up completely.

Until this is fixed, only use this in 9.23!

Just installed the last version, it now again displays the IP.

Thanks for that, johnnysaucepn, I really like the improved new styling, it's better to read and looks bit cooler.

Okay, I've updated the server definition, improved the graphics and made the GUI fit the widget style guidelines. What do you all think?

I haven't totally forgotten about this widget, just don't check the comments all the time! Remember, you can always send me a community personal message.

http://checkip.dyndns.org works and is simple, but it seems to report your local IP address rather than the public one. For example, I use a proxy server, so when I go to checkip I get 127.0.0.1 back, which sort of defeats the point.

http://www.showmyip.com/xml/ (or http://www.ippages.com/xml) works, but limits accesses to 199 per day, don't know if that's going to cause problems, or how exactly they determine it.

cygoh, that's it! I'll try to make it work myself, since the author seems totaly forgot about this widget...

By pejakm, # Aug 5, 2007 8:48:35 PM

I think this is the simplest i can find http://checkip.dyndns.org/

@EmmieShadow,
http://www.showmyip.com is a BS: loads very slow and bloated. I think that www.whatsmyipaddres.com is the best site of it's kind. It displays your IP in the page title so it would be very easy integrate it into this widget.

I am in Linux Ubuntu 7.04 & Opera 9.21.
I cannot get this to load up my IP. Screen comes up, I can select colours for background and font colour but no IP appears.

I am assuming its still relating to the problems with the site not working, but I have found another site to use for people struggling wanting their IP.

http://www.showmyip.com

This is shit. It doesn't work!!!

I dont retrive anything of it!

By jpg90, # Jul 7, 2007 1:23:28 AM

As mentioned above, showip.org, the webservice being used to retrieve IP addresses is down, and shows no sign of returning.

The widget will be inactive until I can get another fast, reliable service and update the widget. I'll post here when that happens.

By johnnysaucepn, # Jun 26, 2007 3:45:46 PM

Yeah,,, I guess I will join the growing list of people, for who this widget is not working!!!!!

It is NOT working!, No, IP number appears, even though you are able to change colors.
