Hello: I am using gl 1.8.1 atm on my site and I have cloudflare services as my front-end. It's on shared hosting at gdaddy, so I can't install any mod_s cf uses a reverse proxy on a Content Delivery Network very nicely. The downside is that GUS shows only cf IPs, I want original IPs shown and cf suggests here to "put this code in your site in or before the
Text Formatted Code
<body>
to restore my originating visitor IPs to the site.."
Text Formatted Code
`<?php if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP']))
       $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP'];
?>`
I'm pretty sure that the backticks are escapes for the published code... but could use a second opinion on that. I use the Professional theme with some minor modifications. Where should I insert this snippet? Thank you for your time.

Geeklog executes PHP in the header template, so you can simply insert the code in layout/professional/header.thtml as instructed (but without the backticks).

bye, Dirk
