how to see the logged ip'es in advanced guestbook

hi. how can i see/find the logged ipes???

Log in as admin and go to Easy Admin. The ip will be at the top of their entry.

ok thx

most of the logged addresses are hostnames and not IPs. Sure I can look them up but wouldn't it be simpler if AGB logs EVERY IP?

It used to but for some reason the writer has chosen to use the ip to host function that is built into PHP. I am going to look at how to mod the guestbook to go back to just recording the IP as looking up the host name can slow your site down. Also it would be easier for people toblock IP's if they were shown.

OK quick mod to have AG 2.3.1 log the IP rather than the hostname.

Open up add.class.php then find

replace that with

it's a bit of a hack fix but does the job (hopefully as I haven't tested it).

Nice one Carbonize. If I remember I'll change my GB and let you know if there's any problems.

Carbonize,
When someone signs my guestbook, an email is sent to me to let me know... A lot of the emails I receive come from SignerName@.MISSING-HOST-NAME.

Is there a way to set that, using this IP hack, to make it SignerName@IP.Address?

Thanks,
Simon

If they don't supply an email address the guestbook sends you the email from nobody@YOURHOST. In your case it sound slike it's not finding a host name to fill in. open up lib/add.class.php and find nobody@$host. Simply change this to whatever you want the from address to be when they have not supplied one. Or if you want them to always come from the same address change to changing the guestbook@mysite.com to whatever you wish.

replace that with $host = $this->ip;

Is it possible to see both Ip and Hostname together?

only by having it resolve the IP to hostname with every viewing of the guestbook which could be very slow.

You should also make that same code change in the file comment.class.php if you want to be able to see the actual IP address there as well.

Thanks for the reminder. Another item on the to do list for Lazarus 1.1
