User Info Block - doesn't display IP address

New Member Joined: Jun 06, 2007 Posts: 8

Hi all, I have a pretty basic install of 2.10.01 but the only issue I have is with the User Info block 2.2.2. The first item in the block is "Your IP:" and that is always blank. Everything else from the avatar to the users is working great.

Any ideas where I can start to look? I get no errors on the page when enabling error reporting.

Thank you

This is the logic that is used to determine your ip.

Code:

if (getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR')) {


    $onlyip=getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR');


}


else $onlyip=getenv('REMOTE_ADDR');

It would seem that your ip is not getting populated in your environment variables. What OS are you using?

I'm using Vista. IE 7 and Firefox both. Also happens with XP.

The IP tacking tables see my IP (if that matters) just fine.

Thanks for the quick reply Raven.

The browser isn't important. The O/S is XP. I test on XP and Linux and it works under both. So, it would appear to be something with your local setup. Are you using Apache or IIS?

IIS - PHP 4.x

BTW - I have no doubt it's my local set up. Smile

Seriously and meaning no disrespect Smile

- scrap IIS and install Apache.

Hey, what can I say. It's not always the choice of the guy who has to do the work. Smile

I appreciate the advice though.

Try this

Code:




if (getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR')) {


    $onlyip=getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR');


}


else $onlyip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

Actually that ends up screwing up the layout of the site, weird. All I see is the header/logo up top then lines lines down the left side. Sorry that's rather descriptive and I can't give out a link to show either at this time.

Typo - Sorry!

Should be else $onlyip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

Ahh Raven, you're the best!

Works perfect from every place I have to test. Thank you!
