UserInfo – A jQuery Plugin

UserInfo is a plugin for jQuery which is designed to aid in user filtering, banning, session control, or other situations where you need a little more information without using server-side scripting.

UserInfo basically grabs ip address, user agent, timestamp, date, and time. It also sets the data in cookies and detects if cookies are already present. This information is inserted in whatever object userinfo() is called on.

Note: The user data is retrieved from JasonLau.biz via an ajax request.

You can view a working demo at this webpage. You can also download the source-code by following the download link below.

Changelog:

1.0.0 – 8.15.10 – Initial release

Example Use:

$('#user-info').userinfo({

         output: 'time,date,time_stamp,ip,user_agent,token,token_time',

         dateFormat: 'M d, Y',

         timeFormat: 'g:i A',

         serialize: true

    });

Call userinfo() on any object that can hold HTML. The desired data will be inserted in the object or sent to your custom callback function for processing.

Available Options:

UserInfo has the following options available for customization.

Name	Type	Default
cookieTime	Number	Default: 60*15
The expiration time for the server token cookie. Calculated in seconds from the time_stamp. Can be a number or math. 606024*365 is 1 year.
custom	String	Default: null
A custom cookie field which can be used to hold any additional data.
dateFormat	String	Default: ‘M d, Y’
The output date format. Uses the same format as PHP. See http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php for documentation.

The character that separates each output value.
jsCookieName	String	Default: ‘userinfo’
The name for the cookie which is set by javascript.

Available Options: time – The current time. date – The current date. time_stamp – The current unix timestamp. ip – The user’s IP address. user_agent – The user’s User Agent. token – If the user already has a token cookie set this will return true; else false. token_time – The timestamp when the token cookie was set. custom – Returns the custom cookie value

serialize	Boolean	Default: false
Serializes the output data instead of outputting a list of values. Example: time=8:06 AM&date=Aug 15, 2010&time_stamp=1281877615&ip=255.255.255.255&token=false
