Anyone know how to have someone's ip address recorded and included when they click the contact admin link?

// get users IP address $ip = getenv(REMOTE_ADDR); // write IP address in subject line print "<a href=""; print "mailto:youremail@yourdomain.com?subject=$ip""; print ">Click Here to Email Me</a>; I am PHP noob. Sorry if inefficient. later, garry aka admin@xdrop.com

Aah crap, forgot a here it is" // get users IP address $ip = getenv(REMOTE_ADDR); // write IP address in subject line print "<a href=""; print "mailto:youremail@yourdomain.com?subject=$ip""; print ">Click Here to Email Me</a>; Like I said! I am PHP noob. lol, later

Hey, its stripping slashes. NO wonder! // get users IP address $ip = getenv(REMOTE_ADDR); // write IP address in subject line print "<a href=""; print "mailto:youremail@yourdomain.com?subject=$ip<backslash>""; print ">Click Here to Email Me</a>"; Substitute the <backslash> with a real backslash. later, garry aka admin@xdrop.com

what file do i add this to?

What his code does is create a link which when clicked will call the visitor's email application software and place your email address in the "To" line and the user's IP in the "Subject" line. To do this more covertly and using Geeklog's contact form, you can do something like this.

Put this function inside /system/lib-custom.php. Inside profiles.php, find this section of code in the function contactemail: If you want to include the sender's IP address on all email sent via the contact form, then replace the above with this code. This inserts the sender's IP address into the "X-Sender-IP" header of emails sent by anyone to anyone. If you want to include the IP address on only for emails sent to Admin or another specific user, then replace the section above with this code instead. Note: The default $uid for Admin is 2. If you changed this, want to use another $uid, or a group of $uid's then just modify the "if" part: *** PLEASE NOTE: All the rn's in the code above should be slash r and slash n. Geeklog keeps stripping off the slashes.

Ooops, a line was dropped in the first replace section I posted. It should read like this: I figured out how to get around GL stripping out the backslashes...use two of them instead of one.

Thanks for the well documented code!! You are an asset to this community!! Is there any way to grab the persons WAN address if they are behind a router that uses nat rather then their computer address??

I'm not sure whether or where the server stores the WAN IP. Maybe someone who has access to this type of setup knows. I think REMOTE_ADDR will give the router's IP if it's behind a firewall instead of the actual computer.

thanks, i will give it a try!!
